The recommended operating voltage range for the CD4077BE is 3V to 15V, although it can operate from 2V to 18V with reduced performance.
To ensure linear operation, the CD4077BE should be biased with a voltage divider network that sets the input voltage to approximately 1/2 of the supply voltage (VCC).
The maximum frequency of operation for the CD4077BE is approximately 10 MHz, although this can vary depending on the specific application and operating conditions.
To minimize power consumption, use a low-power supply voltage, reduce the clock frequency, and consider using a shutdown pin (if available) to turn off the device when not in use.
While the CD4077BE can be used as a voltage regulator, it is not recommended due to its limited current capability and lack of built-in voltage regulation features. Instead, consider using a dedicated voltage regulator IC.
