M74HCT373M1R datasheet by STMicroelectronics

M74HCT373M1R Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum operating frequency of the M74HCT373M1R?
  The maximum operating frequency of the M74HCT373M1R is 30 MHz, but it can vary depending on the system design and capacitive load.
• How do I ensure signal integrity when using the M74HCT373M1R in a high-speed application?
  To ensure signal integrity, use a low-impedance PCB design, keep signal traces short, and use termination resistors or series resistors to reduce reflections and ringing.
• Can I use the M74HCT373M1R in a 3.3V system?
  Yes, the M74HCT373M1R is compatible with 3.3V systems, but ensure that the input signals are within the recommended voltage range (VCC - 0.5V to VCC + 0.5V) to maintain proper operation.
• What is the recommended power-on sequence for the M74HCT373M1R?
  The recommended power-on sequence is to apply VCC before applying any input signals, and to ensure that VCC is stable before applying the clock signal.
• How do I handle latch-up protection in the M74HCT373M1R?
  Latch-up protection is built-in in the M74HCT373M1R, but it's still recommended to follow proper PCB design and layout practices to minimize the risk of latch-up, such as keeping input signals away from power supply lines.
