The maximum operating frequency of TLC556CDG4 is 2 MHz, but it can be limited by the slew rate and propagation delay of the device.
To ensure stable operation, make sure to decouple the power supply with a 0.1uF capacitor, use a stable clock signal, and minimize noise and interference in the circuit.
Yes, TLC556CDG4 can be used as a VCO by applying a control voltage to the threshold input (pin 5) and using the output (pin 3) as the oscillator output.
The minimum supply voltage for TLC556CDG4 is 4.5V, and the maximum supply voltage is 16V.
The timing capacitor value can be calculated using the formula: C = (R1*R2)/(2*R1*R2*f) where C is the capacitance, R1 and R2 are the resistors connected to the timing pins, and f is the desired frequency.
