Instructions for Use:

1. Power Supply:

   • Ensure the supply voltage (VCC) is within the specified range of 3.0V to 18.0V.
   • Connect the ground (GND) pin to a stable reference ground.

2. Input Signals:

   • Input signals should be within the valid logic levels:
     • High level (VIH) should be at least 2.0V and can go up to VCC.
     • Low level (VIL) should not exceed 0.8V.

3. Output Signals:

   • The output high voltage (VOH) will be at least 2.4V and can reach up to VCC - 0.5V.
   • The output low voltage (VOL) will not exceed 0.4V.

4. Propagation Delay:

   • The propagation delay time (tpd) is typically 15ns at VCC = 5V and ambient temperature (TA) = 25°C.

5. Thermal Management:

   • Ensure the device operates within the specified temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.
   • Store the device in a temperature range of -65°C to 150°C.

6. Power Dissipation:

   • Do not exceed the maximum power dissipation of 600mW to avoid overheating and potential damage.

7. Handling:

   • Handle the device with care to avoid static discharge, which can damage the internal components.
   • Follow proper soldering techniques and use appropriate tools to ensure reliable connections.

8. Testing:

   • Test the device under typical operating conditions to ensure it meets the specified parameters.
   • Use a multimeter or oscilloscope to verify input and output voltages and timing characteristics.
