The CD4517BE can handle clock frequencies up to 10 MHz.
To ensure proper reset, connect the RST pin to VCC through a 1kΩ resistor and a 0.1μF capacitor to ground. This will ensure that the device is properly reset during power-up.
The CD4517BE can sink or source up to 1.5mA of current per output pin.
Yes, the CD4517BE can operate with a power supply voltage as low as 3V, but the output voltage levels may not be as high as when operating at 5V.
To cascade multiple CD4517BE devices, connect the Q7 output of one device to the CLK input of the next device, and connect the RST pin of each device together. This will allow you to increase the number of outputs.
