CD74HC166M96 datasheet by Texas Instruments

CD74HC166M96 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency for the CD74HC166M96?
  The maximum clock frequency for the CD74HC166M96 is 25 MHz.
• Can I use the CD74HC166M96 with a 3.3V power supply?
  Yes, the CD74HC166M96 is compatible with a 3.3V power supply, but it's recommended to use a 5V power supply for optimal performance.
• How do I handle the asynchronous clear (CLR) input?
  The asynchronous clear (CLR) input should be tied to VCC or a pull-up resistor to prevent accidental clearing of the counter. When CLR is low, the counter is reset to zero.
• What is the propagation delay time for the CD74HC166M96?
  The propagation delay time for the CD74HC166M96 is typically around 10-15 ns, but it can vary depending on the operating conditions and load capacitance.
• Can I use the CD74HC166M96 as a binary counter or only as a decade counter?
  The CD74HC166M96 can be used as both a binary counter and a decade counter. The counter mode is determined by the connection of the QA and QB outputs to the A and B inputs, respectively.
