CD40161BE datasheet by Texas Instruments

CD40161BE Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency that the CD40161BE can handle?
  The CD40161BE can handle clock frequencies up to 10 MHz.
• How do I ensure that the CD40161BE is properly powered?
  The CD40161BE requires a single 5V power supply, and it's recommended to use a decoupling capacitor of 0.1uF to 1uF between VCC and GND to ensure proper operation.
• What is the maximum input voltage that the CD40161BE can tolerate?
  The CD40161BE can tolerate input voltages up to 15V, but it's recommended to keep the input voltage within the specified operating range of 4.5V to 5.5V for reliable operation.
• How do I reset the CD40161BE?
  The CD40161BE has a reset input (MR) that can be used to reset the counter. A low signal on the MR input resets the counter to zero.
• Can I use the CD40161BE as a frequency divider?
  Yes, the CD40161BE can be used as a frequency divider. By connecting the Q output to the CLK input, the CD40161BE can be used to divide the input clock frequency by 2, 4, 8, or 16.
