Overshoot and Undershoot at the input of 74HCT367

We have an FPGA driving the hex buffer - 74HCT367. Because of the high rise times(400ps), there are big overshoots and undershoots at the input of the buffer.

How much of undershoot can the buffer tolerate? We are seeing upto -2v of undershoot at the buffer input.

The undershoot is for less than 5nsecs.

The device is supposed to have clamping diodes. I don't see the clamping happening. Is it because the edge rates are too fast for the diode.

 

 

  • Hello,

    You want to make sure not to exceed the abs. max current for the part. In the abs. max section of the datasheet, the IK current is ±20mA. A series resistor can be used in order to limit the clamping current.
