The recommended operating voltage range for the CD4043BE is 4.5V to 15.5V.
To ensure proper power-on and power-off, it is recommended to use a capacitor between VCC and GND, and to sequence the power-on and power-off of the VCC and clock inputs.
The maximum clock frequency that the CD4043BE can handle is 10 MHz.
To minimize power consumption, use a low-frequency clock, reduce the voltage supply, and use a low-power mode if available.
The reset pin (MR) is used to asynchronously reset the counter and all outputs to their initial state.
