SN74ACT374NSR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum operating frequency of the SN74ACT374NSR?
  The maximum operating frequency of the SN74ACT374NSR is 100 MHz, but it can vary depending on the system design and capacitive loading.
• How do I ensure signal integrity when using the SN74ACT374NSR in a high-speed design?
  To ensure signal integrity, use proper PCB layout techniques, such as impedance matching, signal routing, and decoupling. Also, consider using series termination resistors and/or parallel termination resistors to reduce signal reflections.
• What is the recommended power-on sequence for the SN74ACT374NSR?
  The recommended power-on sequence is to apply VCC first, followed by VEE, and then the input signals. This sequence helps prevent latch-up and ensures proper device operation.
• Can I use the SN74ACT374NSR in a 3.3V system?
  Yes, the SN74ACT374NSR is compatible with 3.3V systems, but ensure that the input signals do not exceed the maximum rating of 4.6V. Also, note that the output voltage levels may not be fully compatible with 3.3V systems, so additional level shifting may be required.
• How do I handle thermal issues with the SN74ACT374NSR in high-power applications?
  To handle thermal issues, ensure good thermal conduction by using a heat sink or a thermally conductive PCB material. Also, consider reducing the power consumption by using a lower supply voltage or reducing the clock frequency.
