The maximum frequency of operation for the CD74HC157M96 is 25 MHz.
To ensure signal integrity, use a low-impedance PCB design, minimize trace lengths, and use termination resistors if necessary. Also, ensure that the power supply is clean and well-regulated.
Yes, the CD74HC157M96 is compatible with 5V systems. However, ensure that the input signals are within the recommended voltage range (VCC - 1.5V to VCC + 0.5V) to prevent damage to the device.
When not in use, tie the enable inputs (E1 and E2) to VCC or GND, depending on the desired state. Leaving them floating can cause unpredictable behavior.
The recommended power-on sequence is to apply power to VCC before applying input signals. This ensures that the device is properly initialized and prevents damage.
