SN74ABTH16245: Minimum Pulse Width Tw

Part Number: SN74ABTH16245

Hello, I'm having trouble with this component in a high speed design (100Mbps -  200Mbps). It looks like this component is swallowing some bits at both these rates. Looking further into the datasheet, I see the minimum pulse duration is not specified, tw. 

In the datasheet, the only specified parameters are the propagation delay times. What are the setup and hold times for this component alongside Tw? Is there a larger table for these component values available somewhere? The current documentation appears to be quite sparse compared to other logic components. 

Thank you! 

  • The propagation delay can be used as a worst-case estimate.

    4.2 ns corresponds to 238 Mbps. So if the load capacitance is no larger than 50 pF, and a bit gets swallowed, this would imply that this specification has not been met.

    Can you show an oscilloscope trace?
