SN75ALS164DWR datasheet by Texas Instruments

SN75ALS164DWR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum operating frequency of the SN75ALS164DWR?
  The maximum operating frequency of the SN75ALS164DWR is 100 MHz, but it can be used at higher frequencies with proper termination and signal conditioning.
• How do I properly terminate the outputs of the SN75ALS164DWR?
  The outputs of the SN75ALS164DWR should be terminated with a 50-ohm resistor to VCC or GND, depending on the logic level, to ensure proper signal integrity and to prevent ringing.
• Can I use the SN75ALS164DWR in a 3.3V system?
  Yes, the SN75ALS164DWR can be used in a 3.3V system, but the input voltage should not exceed 3.6V to ensure reliable operation. Additionally, the output voltage will be limited to 3.3V.
• How do I handle the power-up and power-down sequencing of the SN75ALS164DWR?
  The power-up and power-down sequencing of the SN75ALS164DWR should be handled carefully to prevent damage to the device. The VCC pin should be powered up before the input signals, and the input signals should be stable before the VCC pin is powered down.
• What is the maximum input voltage that the SN75ALS164DWR can tolerate?
  The maximum input voltage that the SN75ALS164DWR can tolerate is 5.5V, but it is recommended to keep the input voltage below 5V to ensure reliable operation.
