SN74HC377DWR datasheet by Texas Instruments

SN74HC377DWR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency that the SN74HC377DWR can handle?
  The maximum clock frequency of the SN74HC377DWR is 40 MHz.
• How do I ensure that the outputs of the SN74HC377DWR are not corrupted during power-up or power-down?
  To ensure that the outputs are not corrupted during power-up or power-down, it is recommended to use an external pull-up or pull-down resistor on the output pins, and to use a power-on reset (POR) circuit to initialize the device.
• Can I use the SN74HC377DWR in a 5V system?
  Yes, the SN74HC377DWR is compatible with 5V systems, but it is recommended to use a voltage regulator to ensure a stable 5V supply, and to follow proper PCB design and layout guidelines to minimize noise and EMI.
• How do I handle the asynchronous reset input (MR) of the SN74HC377DWR?
  The asynchronous reset input (MR) should be tied to VCC through a pull-up resistor, and a capacitor should be connected between MR and GND to filter out noise and ensure a clean reset signal.
• What is the maximum capacitive load that the SN74HC377DWR can drive?
  The maximum capacitive load that the SN74HC377DWR can drive is 100 pF, but it is recommended to keep the capacitive load as low as possible to ensure reliable operation.
