CD4018BF3A datasheet by Texas Instruments

CD4018BF3A Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency that the CD4018BF3A can handle?
  The CD4018BF3A can handle clock frequencies up to 10 MHz.
• How do I ensure that the CD4018BF3A is properly powered?
  The CD4018BF3A requires a single 5V power supply, and it's recommended to use a decoupling capacitor of 0.1uF to 1uF between VCC and GND to ensure proper operation.
• What is the maximum input voltage that the CD4018BF3A can tolerate?
  The CD4018BF3A can tolerate input voltages up to 15V, but it's recommended to keep the input voltage within the specified operating range of 4.5V to 5.5V for reliable operation.
• How do I reset the CD4018BF3A?
  The CD4018BF3A has a reset input (MR) that can be used to reset the counter to zero. A low-going pulse on the MR input will reset the counter.
• Can I use the CD4018BF3A as a divide-by-N counter?
  Yes, the CD4018BF3A can be used as a divide-by-N counter by connecting the Q7 output to the clock input and using the reset input to reset the counter to zero.
