hi, i posted recently about a frequency divider (÷ by 16) but now i have found a 74hc4040 IC. Can i use this in my circuit? My Vcc is 9v, am i limited to just 5v with a 74hc4040? what is the maximun you can use with the 74hc series?
I also read that you should tie all unused pins to either high or low, is this just ground them all?
I am trying to reduce my input frequency by 16 (eg 32/16 = 2) the circuit diagram wants a CMOS4040 but i dont want to get this if i dont have to.
Thank you for your help
