SN7486N3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum operating frequency of the SN7486N3?
  The maximum operating frequency of the SN7486N3 is 100 MHz, but it can be limited by the load capacitance and the output current.
• How do I ensure reliable operation of the SN7486N3 in high-temperature environments?
  To ensure reliable operation in high-temperature environments, it's essential to follow proper thermal management practices, such as providing adequate heat sinking, using a thermally conductive material, and keeping the junction temperature below 150°C.
• What is the recommended input voltage range for the SN7486N3?
  The recommended input voltage range for the SN7486N3 is 4.5V to 5.5V, but it can operate with a minimum input voltage of 3.5V with reduced performance.
• How do I handle the output current of the SN7486N3?
  The output current of the SN7486N3 should be limited to 20mA per output pin to prevent overheating and ensure reliable operation. It's also recommended to use a current-limiting resistor or a buffer stage if the output current exceeds 20mA.
• Is the SN7486N3 compatible with 3.3V logic?
  The SN7486N3 is not directly compatible with 3.3V logic, as it's designed for 5V operation. However, it can be used with 3.3V logic by using level translators or voltage dividers to adjust the input voltage levels.
