READ THE DATA SHEETS!!!! That's why I linked to them.
Operating supply voltage is 2...6 V and the device parameters are specified at 2 V, 4.5 V and 6 V. Interpolate between 2 and 4.5 V and you'll get the 3.3 V figures.
Over and out!
I did read them again, the HC CMOS version accepts 2~6v power supply. let's say 3.3v, and I have my inputs to it is just a push button (tact switch) feeding either nothing or 3.3v. its output will be 3.3v according to "high-level output voltage".
at typical conditions, for "high-level input voltage" I understand that it means what voltage is considered "High" to it... for 4.5v supply it is typical value of 2.4v... so 2.4v and up are considered "High". for 2v it is 1.2v, so maybe 3.3v lies in 1.7~2v or so.
there are rise times\transition\etc.. but for my application they are not important. it is a simple tact switch to activate shift register in order to change video source... so the user will use it once per session.
therefore, supplying the device with 3.3v and have my inputs at exactly 3.3v is ok for "HC" version.. but I also wanted to get rid of 3.3v rail, went on the design and found that it is necessary for other stuff.
is there anything wrong with my understanding?
Did anyone already propose an Arduino?
I get that you assume i need an already made solution where understanding is not important, you are wrong. arduino won't help here, actually the design doesn't have a microcontroller.
