SN74ACT14D datasheet by Texas Instruments

SN74ACT14D Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum frequency of operation for the SN74ACT14D?
  The maximum frequency of operation for the SN74ACT14D is typically 100 MHz, but it can vary depending on the specific application and operating conditions.
• How do I ensure that the SN74ACT14D is properly powered?
  To ensure proper power supply, connect VCC to a 5V power source and GND to a reliable ground. Make sure to decouple the power supply with a 0.1uF capacitor to reduce noise and ensure stable operation.
• What is the maximum current that the SN74ACT14D can sink or source?
  The SN74ACT14D can sink or source up to 24mA of current per output, but it's recommended to limit the current to 16mA to ensure reliable operation.
• How do I handle the heat generated by the SN74ACT14D?
  The SN74ACT14D has a thermal resistance of 65°C/W. To handle heat, ensure good airflow, use a heat sink if necessary, and avoid operating the device at maximum power for extended periods.
• Can I use the SN74ACT14D in a 3.3V system?
  While the SN74ACT14D is designed for 5V operation, it can be used in a 3.3V system with some limitations. However, the output voltage will be reduced, and the device may not meet the specified timing parameters.
