Instructions for Use:

1. Power Supply:

   • Ensure the supply voltage (V_CC) is within the range of 2.0 V to 5.5 V.
   • Connect the ground (GND) pin to a stable 0 V reference.

2. Input Signals:

   • Apply input signals such that the low level (V_IL) does not exceed 1.5 V and the high level (V_IH) is at least 3.5 V.
   • Avoid excessive input leakage current, which should be within ±1.0 μA.

3. Output Signals:

   • The output low voltage (V_OL) should not exceed 0.4 V when sinking up to 4 mA.
   • The output high voltage (V_OH) should be at least 2.4 V when sourcing up to -4 mA.
   • Ensure the output leakage current does not exceed 100 μA.

4. Current Handling:

   • The maximum output sink current (I_OL) is 25 mA.
   • The maximum output source current (I_OH) is -4 mA.

5. Timing:

   • The propagation delay time (t_pd) is typically 9 ns, but can vary depending on the specific application and conditions.

6. Power Dissipation:

   • The device should not exceed a power dissipation of 100 mW to avoid overheating and potential damage.

7. Handling:

   • Handle the CD74HCT27E with care to avoid static discharge, which can damage the device.
   • Store the device in a dry, static-free environment when not in use.

8. Mounting:

   • Ensure proper mounting and soldering techniques to avoid mechanical stress and ensure good electrical connections.
