CD74HC241M Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum frequency of operation for the CD74HC241M?
  The maximum frequency of operation for the CD74HC241M is 25 MHz, but it can vary depending on the operating voltage and load capacitance.
• How do I ensure that the CD74HC241M is properly powered?
  To ensure proper power supply, connect VCC to a stable 2-V to 6-V power source, and GND to a solid ground plane. Decouple the power supply with a 0.1-μF ceramic capacitor.
• What is the input voltage threshold for the CD74HC241M?
  The input voltage threshold for the CD74HC241M is typically around 1.3 V to 1.7 V for a logic high and 0.5 V to 0.8 V for a logic low, but it can vary depending on the operating voltage and temperature.
• Can I use the CD74HC241M in a 3.3-V system?
  Yes, the CD74HC241M can operate in a 3.3-V system, but ensure that the input signals are within the recommended voltage levels and that the output current does not exceed the maximum rating.
• How do I handle unused inputs on the CD74HC241M?
  Unused inputs should be tied to a valid logic level (either VCC or GND) to prevent floating inputs and ensure proper device operation.
