CD74HCT32E Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum frequency of operation for the CD74HCT32E?
  The maximum frequency of operation for the CD74HCT32E is 30 MHz.
• Can I use the CD74HCT32E in a 5V system?
  Yes, the CD74HCT32E is compatible with 5V systems, but it's recommended to use a voltage regulator to ensure a stable 4.5V to 5.5V supply voltage.
• How do I handle the propagation delay of the CD74HCT32E?
  The propagation delay of the CD74HCT32E is typically around 10-15 ns. To handle this, ensure that your system design takes into account the delay and allows for sufficient setup and hold times.
• Is the CD74HCT32E suitable for high-speed applications?
  While the CD74HCT32E can operate at high frequencies, it's not ideal for very high-speed applications (>50 MHz). For such applications, consider using a faster logic family like the 74AHC or 74VHC series.
• Can I use the CD74HCT32E in a 3.3V system?
  No, the CD74HCT32E is not compatible with 3.3V systems. It's designed to operate at 4.5V to 5.5V, and using it at 3.3V may result in unreliable operation or damage to the device.
