The maximum frequency of operation for the SN74HC251DR is 40 MHz.
Yes, the SN74HC251DR is compatible with 5V systems, but it's recommended to use a voltage regulator to ensure a stable 5V supply.
When not in use, the enable inputs (EN1 and EN2) should be tied to VCC or GND to prevent floating inputs, which can cause unpredictable behavior.
The propagation delay time for the SN74HC251DR is typically around 10-15 ns, but this can vary depending on the operating conditions and load capacitance.
Yes, the SN74HC251DR is compatible with 3.3V systems, but the output voltage will be limited to 3.3V, and the input voltage thresholds may be affected.
