CD74HCT85M96 datasheet by Texas Instruments

CD74HCT85M96 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency that the CD74HCT85M96 can handle?
  The CD74HCT85M96 can handle clock frequencies up to 30 MHz, but it's recommended to operate it at 10 MHz or lower for reliable operation.
• How do I ensure proper power sequencing when using the CD74HCT85M96?
  To ensure proper power sequencing, apply power to VCC before applying any input signals, and ensure that VCC is stable before applying clock signals.
• What is the recommended operating voltage range for the CD74HCT85M96?
  The recommended operating voltage range for the CD74HCT85M96 is 4.5V to 5.5V, with a typical operating voltage of 5V.
• Can I use the CD74HCT85M96 with 3.3V logic?
  While the CD74HCT85M96 is designed for 5V operation, it can be used with 3.3V logic, but the output voltage levels may not be compatible with 3.3V devices. Use level translators or voltage dividers if necessary.
• How do I handle unused inputs on the CD74HCT85M96?
  Unused inputs should be tied to VCC or GND through a 1kΩ resistor to prevent floating inputs and ensure proper operation.
