The maximum clock frequency for the CD4518BM96 is 64 kHz, but it can be operated at higher frequencies with reduced voltage and current.
To ensure proper power sequencing, apply power to VCC before applying a clock signal, and ensure that the clock signal is low during power-up.
The recommended operating voltage range for the CD4518BM96 is 4.5V to 5.5V, but it can operate from 3V to 6V with reduced performance.
The asynchronous reset (R) input should be tied to VCC through a resistor (e.g., 1 kΩ) to prevent unwanted resets, and a capacitor (e.g., 100 nF) can be added to filter out noise.
The inhibit (INH) input is used to disable the counter and hold the output at its current state; when INH is high, the counter is disabled, and when INH is low, the counter operates normally.
