The recommended operating voltage range for the CD4047BM96G4 is 3V to 15V, although it can operate up to 18V with reduced performance.
To ensure a stable and reliable oscillator circuit, use a high-quality quartz crystal with a suitable load capacitance, and follow the recommended PCB layout and component placement guidelines to minimize noise and parasitic effects.
The CD4047BM96G4 can operate up to 1.5 MHz, but the maximum frequency is dependent on the specific application and the quality of the external components used.
Yes, the CD4047BM96G4 can be used as a VCO by applying a control voltage to the Vc pin, which allows the oscillator frequency to be varied in response to the control voltage.
The values of the external resistors and capacitors depend on the specific application and the desired oscillator frequency. TI provides a calculator tool and application notes to help with component selection and design.
