The recommended operating voltage range for CD40257BEE4 is 4.5V to 15.5V, although it can operate from 3V to 18V with reduced performance.
To ensure proper thermal management, provide adequate heat sinking, keep the device away from heat sources, and maintain good airflow around the device. The maximum junction temperature is 150°C.
The maximum clock frequency supported by the CD40257BEE4 is 10 MHz, although it can operate at higher frequencies with reduced performance and increased power consumption.
Yes, the CD40257BEE4 can be used in a 3.3V system, but the output voltage swing will be reduced, and the device may not meet the specified propagation delay and transition times.
Unused inputs on the CD40257BEE4 should be tied to a valid logic level (VCC or GND) to prevent floating inputs and reduce power consumption.
