74AC373M Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency that the 74AC373M can handle?
  The maximum clock frequency of the 74AC373M is 100 MHz, but it can vary depending on the operating voltage and load conditions.
• How do I ensure that the 74AC373M is properly powered?
  The 74AC373M requires a power supply voltage (VCC) of 2.0V to 6.0V, and it's recommended to use a decoupling capacitor of 0.1uF to 1uF between VCC and GND to reduce noise and ensure stable operation.
• What is the propagation delay of the 74AC373M?
  The propagation delay of the 74AC373M is typically around 3.5ns to 5.5ns, depending on the operating voltage and temperature.
• Can I use the 74AC373M in a 3.3V system?
  Yes, the 74AC373M is compatible with 3.3V systems, but it's recommended to check the voltage tolerance of the device and ensure that it meets the system's voltage requirements.
• How do I handle the output enable (OE) pin?
  The output enable (OE) pin is active-low, meaning that the outputs are enabled when OE is low (0V) and disabled when OE is high (VCC). It's recommended to connect OE to GND or VCC through a pull-down or pull-up resistor to ensure proper operation.
