Hi,
I want to abuse a CD4049UBE for an audio experiment. The power supply will be 15V. I read here that this can bake the inverter (see table, bottom of the page). Since I dont need all 15V of signal head room, can I just stick a resistor between the supply and the VCC pin of the CD4049UBE in order to limit the current? What about a zener between supply and the VCC pin, would that work? If so, that would probably give a more stable supply voltage to the chip than a resistor.
If such a simple fix is possible, I do not have to generate a lower supply voltage in the power supply.
