CD4025BE datasheet by Texas Instruments

CD4025BE Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency that the CD4025BE can handle?
  The CD4025BE can handle clock frequencies up to 10 MHz.
• How do I ensure that the CD4025BE is properly powered?
  The CD4025BE requires a single 5V power supply, and it's recommended to use a decoupling capacitor (e.g., 0.1uF) between VCC and GND to ensure stable operation.
• Can I use the CD4025BE with a 3.3V power supply?
  No, the CD4025BE is designed to operate with a 5V power supply. Using a 3.3V power supply may not guarantee proper operation and may lead to unreliable results.
• How do I reset the CD4025BE?
  The CD4025BE has an asynchronous reset input (MR) that can be used to reset the counter. Applying a low signal to the MR input will reset the counter to zero.
• Can I use the CD4025BE as a frequency divider?
  Yes, the CD4025BE can be used as a frequency divider. By connecting the Q output to the CLK input, you can create a divide-by-2 frequency divider.
