SN74F86DRG4 datasheet by Texas Instruments

SN74F86DRG4 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum operating frequency of the SN74F86DRG4?
  The maximum operating frequency of the SN74F86DRG4 is typically around 100 MHz, but it can vary depending on the specific application and operating conditions.
• How do I ensure signal integrity when using the SN74F86DRG4 in a high-speed design?
  To ensure signal integrity, use proper PCB layout techniques, such as using short signal traces, minimizing impedance mismatches, and adding termination resistors as needed. Additionally, consider using a low-skew clock distribution network and ensuring that the power supply is clean and stable.
• Can I use the SN74F86DRG4 in a 3.3V system?
  Yes, the SN74F86DRG4 is compatible with 3.3V systems. It has a wide operating voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V, but it can also operate at 3.3V with some performance degradation. Consult the datasheet for specific details on operating characteristics at 3.3V.
• How do I handle thermal issues with the SN74F86DRG4?
  To handle thermal issues, ensure good airflow around the device, use a heat sink if necessary, and avoid operating the device at maximum power dissipation for extended periods. The SN74F86DRG4 has a maximum junction temperature of 150°C, so ensure that the operating temperature is kept below this threshold.
• Can I use the SN74F86DRG4 in a radiation-hardened application?
  No, the SN74F86DRG4 is not a radiation-hardened device. It is not designed to operate in high-radiation environments and may not meet the requirements for such applications. Consult Texas Instruments for radiation-hardened alternatives.
