CD4014BE datasheet by Texas Instruments

CD4014BE Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency that the CD4014BE can handle?
  The CD4014BE can handle clock frequencies up to 3 MHz, but it's recommended to operate it at a maximum frequency of 1 MHz for reliable operation.
• How do I reset the CD4014BE?
  The CD4014BE has a asynchronous reset input (MR) that can be used to reset the counter. A low logic level on the MR input resets the counter to zero.
• What is the maximum input voltage that the CD4014BE can tolerate?
  The CD4014BE can tolerate input voltages up to 15V, but it's recommended to operate it within the recommended operating voltage range of 5V to 15V for reliable operation.
• Can I use the CD4014BE as a divide-by-N counter?
  Yes, the CD4014BE can be used as a divide-by-N counter by connecting the Q4 output to the clock input and using the reset input to reset the counter to zero.
• How do I cascade multiple CD4014BE counters?
  To cascade multiple CD4014BE counters, connect the Q4 output of one counter to the clock input of the next counter, and connect the reset inputs of all counters together.
