The maximum operating frequency of the CD74ACT238E is 100 MHz, but it can vary depending on the specific application and operating conditions.
To ensure signal integrity, use proper PCB layout techniques, such as keeping signal traces short and away from noise sources, using termination resistors, and minimizing impedance mismatches.
Yes, the CD74ACT238E is compatible with 3.3V systems, but ensure that the input voltage does not exceed the maximum rating of 5.5V.
The power consumption of the CD74ACT238E depends on the operating frequency and input voltage, but typically ranges from 10-50 mW.
To handle thermal issues, ensure good airflow around the device, use a heat sink if necessary, and avoid operating the device at maximum power dissipation for extended periods.
