SN74LS373NE4 datasheet by Texas Instruments

SN74LS373NE4 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency that the SN74LS373NE4 can handle?
  The maximum clock frequency of the SN74LS373NE4 is 20 MHz, but it can vary depending on the operating conditions and the load capacitance.
• How do I ensure that the SN74LS373NE4 is properly powered?
  The SN74LS373NE4 requires a single 5V power supply, and it's recommended to use a decoupling capacitor of 0.1 μF to 1 μF between VCC and GND to reduce noise and ensure stable operation.
• What is the maximum input voltage that the SN74LS373NE4 can tolerate?
  The maximum input voltage that the SN74LS373NE4 can tolerate is 7V, but it's recommended to keep the input voltage within the recommended operating range of 0V to 5.5V to ensure reliable operation.
• How do I handle the output enable (OE) pin?
  The output enable (OE) pin is active-low, meaning that the outputs are enabled when OE is low (0V) and disabled when OE is high (5V). It's recommended to connect OE to GND or VCC through a pull-down or pull-up resistor to ensure proper operation.
• What is the propagation delay of the SN74LS373NE4?
  The propagation delay of the SN74LS373NE4 is typically around 10-15 ns, but it can vary depending on the operating conditions and the load capacitance.
