CD40160BF3A datasheet by Texas Instruments

CD40160BF3A Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended operating voltage range for CD40160BF3A?
  The recommended operating voltage range for CD40160BF3A is 4.5V to 15.5V, although it can operate from 3V to 18V with reduced performance.
• How do I handle the output enable (OE) pin?
  The output enable (OE) pin is active-low, meaning it should be connected to GND to enable the outputs. Leaving it unconnected or connecting it to VCC will disable the outputs.
• What is the maximum clock frequency for CD40160BF3A?
  The maximum clock frequency for CD40160BF3A is 10 MHz, but it can operate at higher frequencies with reduced performance and increased power consumption.
• Can I use CD40160BF3A as a level shifter?
  Yes, CD40160BF3A can be used as a level shifter, but it's not recommended as it's not designed for this purpose. Instead, use a dedicated level shifter IC for reliable operation.
• How do I ensure reliable data transfer with CD40160BF3A?
  To ensure reliable data transfer, use a pull-up resistor on the data lines, and ensure the clock signal is clean and has a fast rise and fall time. Also, use a bypass capacitor to decouple the power supply.
