The recommended operating voltage range for the HEF4521BT is 4.5V to 15V, although it can operate down to 3V with reduced performance.
To ensure proper power-on and power-off, make sure to follow the recommended power-up and power-down sequences, and use a capacitor (e.g., 10nF) between VCC and GND to filter out noise and voltage spikes.
The maximum frequency of operation for the HEF4521BT is 10MHz, although it can operate at higher frequencies with reduced performance and increased power consumption.
To handle the output current limitations, use current-limiting resistors or buffers to prevent excessive current draw, and ensure that the total output current does not exceed the recommended maximum of 20mA per output.
The Schmitt-trigger inputs on the HEF4521BT are designed to provide hysteresis, which helps to reduce noise sensitivity and improve signal integrity by providing a clear switching point between logic levels.
