The maximum operating frequency of the SN54LS266J is 35 MHz.
To ensure reliable operation in high-temperature environments, ensure that the device is operated within the recommended operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C, and provide adequate heat sinking and thermal management.
The recommended power-on sequence for the SN54LS266J is to apply power to the VCC pin before applying any input signals, and to ensure that all input signals are stable before applying the clock signal.
To handle metastability issues in the SN54LS266J, ensure that the clock frequency is within the recommended range, and use synchronization circuits or metastability-resistant design techniques to minimize the risk of metastability.
The recommended layout and routing for the SN54LS266J involves keeping the clock signal traces short and direct, using a solid ground plane, and minimizing signal crosstalk and noise.
