SN74HCT574N datasheet by Texas Instruments

SN74HCT574N Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency that the SN74HCT574N can handle?
  The maximum clock frequency of the SN74HCT574N is 40 MHz.
• How do I ensure that the outputs are in a known state during power-up?
  To ensure that the outputs are in a known state during power-up, connect the OE (output enable) pin to GND or use an external pull-down resistor to force the outputs low during power-up.
• What is the maximum current that the SN74HCT574N can sink or source?
  The maximum current that the SN74HCT574N can sink or source is 6 mA per output pin.
• Can I use the SN74HCT574N in a 5V system?
  Yes, the SN74HCT574N is compatible with 5V systems, but ensure that the input voltage (VCC) is within the recommended operating range of 4.5V to 5.5V.
• How do I handle the asynchronous reset (RST) input?
  The asynchronous reset (RST) input should be tied to VCC through a pull-up resistor (e.g., 1 kΩ) to ensure that the device is properly reset during power-up.
