CD74HC04M Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum frequency of operation for the CD74HC04M?
  The maximum frequency of operation for the CD74HC04M is typically 25 MHz, but it can vary depending on the specific application and operating conditions.
• How do I ensure that the CD74HC04M is properly powered?
  To ensure proper power supply, connect VCC to a stable 2-6V power source, and GND to a reliable ground connection. Also, decouple the power supply with a 0.1uF capacitor to reduce noise and ensure stable operation.
• What is the maximum current that the CD74HC04M can sink or source?
  The CD74HC04M can sink or source up to 25mA of current per output, but it's recommended to limit the current to 10mA or less to ensure reliable operation and prevent overheating.
• How do I handle the input and output voltage levels for the CD74HC04M?
  The CD74HC04M is a CMOS device, so it's recommended to keep input voltage levels between 0.3V and VCC-0.3V to ensure proper operation. Output voltage levels should be within the range of 0V to VCC.
• What is the propagation delay for the CD74HC04M?
  The propagation delay for the CD74HC04M is typically around 10-15ns, but it can vary depending on the specific application and operating conditions.
