CD4541BE datasheet by Texas Instruments

CD4541BE Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended operating voltage range for the CD4541BE?
  The recommended operating voltage range for the CD4541BE is 4.5V to 15.5V.
• How do I ensure the CD4541BE is properly powered on and off?
  To ensure proper power-on and power-off, the CD4541BE requires a monotonic power supply ramp-up and ramp-down. A minimum of 1ms is recommended for power-on and power-off times.
• What is the maximum frequency of operation for the CD4541BE?
  The maximum frequency of operation for the CD4541BE is 100 kHz.
• How do I handle the output stage of the CD4541BE?
  The output stage of the CD4541BE is an open-drain configuration, which means it can sink current but not source current. An external pull-up resistor is required to pull the output high.
• What is the purpose of the R/C oscillator circuit in the CD4541BE?
  The R/C oscillator circuit in the CD4541BE is used to generate the internal clock signal. The oscillator frequency is determined by the values of the external resistor and capacitor connected to pins 1 and 2.
