SN74LS375N datasheet by Texas Instruments

SN74LS375N Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency that the SN74LS375N can handle?
  The maximum clock frequency of the SN74LS375N is 10 MHz, but it can vary depending on the specific application and operating conditions.
• How do I ensure that the SN74LS375N is properly powered and decoupled?
  To ensure proper power and decoupling, use a 5V power supply, add a 0.1uF ceramic capacitor between VCC and GND, and use a 10uF electrolytic capacitor between VCC and GND for bulk decoupling.
• What is the maximum current that the SN74LS375N can sink or source?
  The SN74LS375N can sink up to 24mA and source up to 12mA per output, but it's recommended to limit the current to 10mA per output to ensure reliable operation.
• How do I handle the asynchronous reset input (CLR) of the SN74LS375N?
  The CLR input should be tied to VCC through a 1kΩ resistor and a 0.01uF capacitor to ensure proper reset operation. A low signal on CLR resets the flip-flops.
• What is the propagation delay of the SN74LS375N?
  The propagation delay of the SN74LS375N is typically around 10-15ns, but it can vary depending on the specific application and operating conditions.
