SN54AS74AJ datasheet by Texas Instruments

SN54AS74AJ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended operating voltage range for the SN54AS74AJ?
  The recommended operating voltage range for the SN54AS74AJ is 4.5V to 5.5V, although it can operate down to 3.5V with reduced performance.
• How do I ensure reliable operation of the SN54AS74AJ in high-temperature environments?
  To ensure reliable operation in high-temperature environments, it's recommended to derate the device's power consumption and ensure good thermal management, such as using a heat sink or providing adequate airflow.
• What is the maximum clock frequency that the SN54AS74AJ can handle?
  The maximum clock frequency that the SN54AS74AJ can handle is 100 MHz, although this may vary depending on the specific application and operating conditions.
• Can I use the SN54AS74AJ in a 3.3V system?
  While the SN54AS74AJ is specified for 5V operation, it can be used in a 3.3V system with some limitations. However, the device's performance and functionality may be reduced, and it's recommended to consult the datasheet and application notes for specific guidance.
• How do I handle the asynchronous reset input (CLR) on the SN54AS74AJ?
  The asynchronous reset input (CLR) on the SN54AS74AJ should be tied to VCC through a pull-up resistor or connected to a reset signal that meets the device's input requirements. This ensures that the device is properly reset and initialized during power-up or reset conditions.
