The recommended operating voltage range for the CD4009UBM is 3V to 15V, although it can operate up to 18V with reduced performance.
To ensure linear operation, the CD4009UBM should be biased with a voltage divider network that sets the input voltage to around 1/2 of the supply voltage, and the output should be loaded with a resistor to ground to prevent oscillation.
The maximum power dissipation of the CD4009UBM is 500mW, and it is recommended to keep the junction temperature below 150°C to ensure reliable operation.
While the CD4009UBM can be used as a voltage regulator, it is not recommended as it is not designed for this purpose and may not provide stable output voltage. Instead, use a dedicated voltage regulator IC for this application.
To troubleshoot oscillation issues, check the power supply decoupling, ensure the input and output are properly terminated, and verify that the circuit is properly biased. Also, check for any unwanted feedback paths or parasitic capacitance that may be causing oscillation.
