CD74HCT161M datasheet by Texas Instruments

CD74HCT161M Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency that the CD74HCT161M can handle?
  The CD74HCT161M can handle clock frequencies up to 30 MHz.
• How do I ensure that the CD74HCT161M is properly powered?
  The CD74HCT161M requires a power supply voltage (VCC) of 4.5V to 5.5V, and it is recommended to use a decoupling capacitor of 0.1uF to 1uF between VCC and GND to ensure proper power supply decoupling.
• What is the maximum input voltage that the CD74HCT161M can tolerate?
  The CD74HCT161M can tolerate input voltages up to 7V without damage, but it is recommended to keep input voltages within the specified operating range of 0V to VCC to ensure proper operation.
• How do I handle the asynchronous reset input (MR) of the CD74HCT161M?
  The asynchronous reset input (MR) should be tied to VCC through a pull-up resistor (e.g. 1kΩ) to ensure that the counter is properly reset when the reset input is not active.
• What is the propagation delay of the CD74HCT161M?
  The propagation delay of the CD74HCT161M is typically around 10ns to 15ns, depending on the operating frequency and load capacitance.
