The recommended operating voltage range for the CD4077BM is 3V to 15V, although it can operate from 2V to 18V with reduced performance.
To ensure proper biasing, connect the VCC pin to a stable voltage source, and decouple it with a 0.1uF capacitor to ground. Also, connect the VEE pin to a stable voltage source or ground, depending on the application.
The CD4077BM can operate up to 10MHz, but the maximum frequency of operation depends on the specific application, supply voltage, and load conditions.
To handle the high impedance of the CD4077BM inputs, use a voltage follower or a buffer amplifier to drive the inputs, and ensure the input signals are properly terminated to prevent signal reflections.
While the CD4077BM can be used as a voltage regulator, it's not recommended due to its limited current capability and lack of built-in voltage regulation features. Instead, use a dedicated voltage regulator IC for reliable voltage regulation.
