The maximum frequency of operation for the HEF4050BP is 10 MHz, but it can be operated at higher frequencies with reduced voltage supply.
To minimize the effect of noise on the output, use a decoupling capacitor (e.g., 100 nF) between VCC and GND, and ensure that the input signals are properly terminated and filtered.
Yes, the HEF4050BP can be used as a level shifter, but it's not recommended as it's not designed for that purpose. Instead, use a dedicated level shifter IC for better performance and reliability.
The maximum current that the HEF4050BP can sink or source is 20 mA per output pin, but it's recommended to limit the current to 10 mA to ensure reliable operation.
The HEF4050BP has a thermal resistance of 125°C/W. Ensure good thermal dissipation by using a heat sink or a PCB with a thermal pad, and avoid operating the device at high temperatures (above 70°C) for extended periods.
