SN74F74DR datasheet by Texas Instruments

SN74F74DR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency that the SN74F74DR can handle?
  The maximum clock frequency of the SN74F74DR is typically 100 MHz, but it can vary depending on the specific application and operating conditions.
• How do I ensure that the SN74F74DR is properly reset during power-up?
  To ensure proper reset during power-up, connect the preset (PRE) and clear (CLR) inputs to VCC through a 1 kΩ resistor and a 0.1 μF capacitor to ground. This will ensure that the flip-flop is properly reset during power-up.
• What is the recommended operating voltage range for the SN74F74DR?
  The recommended operating voltage range for the SN74F74DR is 4.5 V to 5.5 V, with a typical operating voltage of 5 V.
• How do I minimize power consumption in my design using the SN74F74DR?
  To minimize power consumption, use a low-power mode of operation, reduce the clock frequency, and minimize the number of transitions on the clock input. Additionally, consider using a low-power version of the SN74F74DR, such as the SN74LV74.
• What is the maximum input voltage that the SN74F74DR can tolerate?
  The maximum input voltage that the SN74F74DR can tolerate is 7 V, but it is recommended to keep the input voltage below 5.5 V to ensure reliable operation.
