CD74HC161M96 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency that the CD74HC161M96 can handle?
  The CD74HC161M96 can handle clock frequencies up to 25 MHz.
• How do I ensure that the CD74HC161M96 is properly synchronized with the system clock?
  To ensure proper synchronization, the CD74HC161M96 should be clocked on the rising edge of the clock signal, and the clock signal should be clean and free of noise.
• What is the maximum input voltage that the CD74HC161M96 can tolerate?
  The CD74HC161M96 can tolerate input voltages up to 7V, but it is recommended to operate within the recommended operating voltage range of 2V to 6V for optimal performance.
• How do I handle metastability issues with the CD74HC161M96?
  To handle metastability issues, it is recommended to use synchronous design techniques, such as using a single clock domain and avoiding asynchronous inputs. Additionally, using a metastability resolver or a synchronizer can help to resolve metastability issues.
• Can the CD74HC161M96 be used in a radiation-hardened application?
  The CD74HC161M96 is not a radiation-hardened device, and it is not recommended for use in radiation-hardened applications. For such applications, a radiation-hardened version of the device should be used.
