Switching time of 7408 IC... >21MHz?
Post
by MM007 » Wed Jan 10, 2007 12:38 pm
I'm trying to design an NES overclocking circuit, but part of the circuit design I am using requires a signal in excess of 21MHz to be fed through one input of a standard AND gate, spacifically a 7408 IC chip.
My question: Can the 7408 IC keep up with the clock signal and put out a signal of >21 MHz at its output?

huh? Why are you using a 7808 to output a clock signal? What exactly are you trying to do?
I dont think the 7808 would be fast enough anyway...

I think you mean a 7408. Better to use a 74HCT08, the letters are for for "High-speed CMOS TTL compatible" so it runs at 5v. I'm pretty sure it can handle high frequencies, it's made for them.

If nothing else, a switching transistor based gate should work I think.

hahaha...that makes a lot more sense! I was wondering how you could make a clock signal with a 7808 regulator...

Hmm...I'm using an "NTE7408"...and I've corrected the original post.
I may have to make some alterations then...hmm...
