CD74HC4050M datasheet by Texas Instruments

CD74HC4050M Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum frequency of operation for the CD74HC4050M?
  The maximum frequency of operation for the CD74HC4050M is typically 10 MHz, but it can vary depending on the specific application and operating conditions.
• How do I ensure that the CD74HC4050M 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 CD74HC4050M can sink or source?
  The CD74HC4050M can sink or source up to 25mA of current per output pin, but it's recommended to limit the current to 10mA or less to ensure reliable operation.
• How do I handle the propagation delay of the CD74HC4050M?
  The propagation delay of the CD74HC4050M is typically around 10-20ns, but it can vary depending on the operating frequency and load capacitance. To minimize the impact of propagation delay, use a clock signal with a sufficient setup and hold time, and consider using a buffer or repeater if necessary.
• Is the CD74HC4050M compatible with 3.3V or 5V logic levels?
  The CD74HC4050M is compatible with both 3.3V and 5V logic levels, but it's recommended to use a voltage regulator or level shifter if the input signals are not compatible with the device's operating voltage.
