CD54HC73F Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum frequency of operation for the CD54HC73F?
  The CD54HC73F can operate up to 25 MHz, but the maximum frequency of operation depends on the specific application and the capacitive load on the outputs.
• How do I ensure that the CD54HC73F is properly powered?
  The CD54HC73F requires a single power supply voltage (VCC) of 2.0 V to 6.0 V, and it is recommended to decouple the power supply with a 0.1 μF capacitor to reduce noise and ensure stable operation.
• What is the input voltage threshold for the CD54HC73F?
  The input voltage threshold for the CD54HC73F is typically around 1.5 V for a logic high and 0.5 V for a logic low, but it can vary depending on the specific application and the operating conditions.
• Can I use the CD54HC73F in a 3.3 V system?
  Yes, the CD54HC73F can be used in a 3.3 V system, but it is recommended to check the output voltage levels and the input voltage thresholds to ensure compatibility with the system's logic levels.
• How do I handle the propagation delay of the CD54HC73F?
  The propagation delay of the CD54HC73F is typically around 10 ns to 20 ns, depending on the operating conditions and the load capacitance. It is recommended to consider the propagation delay when designing the system's timing and clocking.
