SN54S373J datasheet by Texas Instruments

SN54S373J Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency that the SN54S373J can handle?
  The maximum clock frequency of the SN54S373J is 100 MHz, but it can vary depending on the operating conditions and the quality of the clock signal.
• How do I ensure that the SN54S373J is properly powered?
  The SN54S373J requires a single 5V power supply, and it's essential to ensure that the power supply is clean and stable. A decoupling capacitor of 0.1 μF to 1 μF should be placed close to the VCC pin to filter out noise and voltage spikes.
• What is the maximum input voltage that the SN54S373J can tolerate?
  The maximum input voltage that the SN54S373J can tolerate is 5.5V, which is the absolute maximum rating. However, it's recommended to keep the input voltage within the recommended operating range of 4.5V to 5.5V to ensure reliable operation.
• How do I handle the asynchronous reset input (MR) of the SN54S373J?
  The asynchronous reset input (MR) of the SN54S373J should be tied to VCC through a pull-up resistor (typically 1 kΩ to 10 kΩ) to ensure that the device is not inadvertently reset. The MR input should be driven low to reset the device, and it should be driven high or left floating to allow normal operation.
• What is the propagation delay of the SN54S373J?
  The propagation delay of the SN54S373J varies depending on the temperature and the load capacitance. At 25°C and with a load capacitance of 50 pF, the typical propagation delay is around 10 ns to 15 ns.
