Additional Details

The PI74ALVC16334AX operates from a supply voltage of 2.3V to 3.6V. It features a propagation delay of typically around 3ns, which enables it to operate at high frequencies. The device also incorporates power-down protection, which disables the outputs when the supply voltage is removed. This prevents backflow current and potential damage to other components in the system. The operating temperature range is typically -40°C to +85°C.
