SN74AC86D datasheet by Texas Instruments

SN74AC86D Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum frequency of operation for the SN74AC86D?
  The maximum frequency of operation for the SN74AC86D is typically around 100 MHz, but this can vary depending on the specific application and operating conditions.
• How do I ensure that the SN74AC86D is properly powered and decoupled?
  To ensure proper operation, the SN74AC86D should be powered with a stable 5V supply, and decoupling capacitors (e.g. 0.1uF and 10uF) should be placed close to the device to filter out noise and reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• What is the maximum current that the SN74AC86D can sink or source?
  The SN74AC86D can sink or source up to 24mA of current per output, but this should be limited to 12mA per output to ensure reliable operation.
• How do I handle thermal considerations for the SN74AC86D?
  The SN74AC86D has a maximum junction temperature of 150°C. To prevent overheating, ensure good airflow, use a heat sink if necessary, and avoid operating the device at maximum power dissipation for extended periods.
• Can I use the SN74AC86D in a 3.3V system?
  While the SN74AC86D is specified for 5V operation, it can be used in a 3.3V system with some limitations. However, the output voltage levels may not be compatible with 3.3V logic, and the device's performance may be degraded.
