The maximum operating frequency of the SN54HC05J is 25 MHz, but it can operate up to 50 MHz with a reduced voltage supply (VCC) of 4.5V.
Unused inputs of the SN54HC05J should be tied to VCC or GND to prevent them from floating and causing unwanted oscillations or power consumption.
The power consumption of the SN54HC05J depends on the operating frequency and voltage supply. At 25 MHz and 5V, the typical power consumption is around 20-30 mW.
Yes, the SN54HC05J can operate with a voltage supply (VCC) as low as 2V, but the maximum operating frequency will be reduced to 12 MHz at 3.3V.
A 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the VCC pin of the SN54HC05J to decouple the power supply and reduce noise.
