CD74HC163M96 datasheet by Texas Instruments

CD74HC163M96 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency that can be used with the CD74HC163M96?
  The maximum clock frequency for the CD74HC163M96 is 25 MHz. However, it's recommended to check the timing specifications in the datasheet to ensure that the clock frequency meets the setup and hold time requirements.
• Can I use the CD74HC163M96 with a 5V power supply?
  No, the CD74HC163M96 is a CMOS device that operates on a 2V to 6V power supply. While it can tolerate a 5V power supply, it's not recommended as it may exceed the maximum rating and reduce the device's lifespan.
• How do I handle the asynchronous reset input (RST) during power-up?
  It's recommended to tie the RST input to VCC through a pull-up resistor to ensure that the device resets properly during power-up. This prevents the device from entering an unknown state.
• What is the maximum capacitive load that can be driven by the CD74HC163M96 outputs?
  The CD74HC163M96 can drive a maximum capacitive load of 100 pF. Exceeding this limit may cause signal degradation and affect the device's performance.
• Can I use the CD74HC163M96 in a high-temperature environment?
  The CD74HC163M96 is rated for operation up to 125°C. However, it's recommended to derate the device's performance and consider the thermal management of the system to ensure reliable operation.
