Instructions for Using HCF4076BE

1. Power Supply:

   • Ensure the supply voltage (V_CC) is within the range of 3 to 15 volts.
   • Connect the ground (GND) pin to a stable 0V reference.

2. Input Signals:

   • For a high-level input (V_IH), the voltage should be between 2V and V_CC - 1.5V.
   • For a low-level input (V_IL), the voltage should be between 0V and 1.5V.
   • Ensure that input signals do not exceed the supply voltage (V_CC) or go below ground (GND).

3. Output Signals:

   • The output high level (V_OH) will be between V_CC - 0.5V and V_CC - 0.1V when the output current (I_OL) is -0.4 mA.
   • The output low level (V_OL) will be between 0V and 0.5V when the output current (I_OL) is 16 mA.

4. Propagation Delay:

   • The propagation delay time (t_pd) is typically 10 nanoseconds at a supply voltage of 10V and a frequency of 10 MHz.
   • Ensure that the propagation delay is accounted for in timing-sensitive applications.

5. Power Dissipation:

   • The maximum power dissipation (P_D) is 500 milliwatts. Ensure adequate heat dissipation if operating near this limit.

6. Handling and Storage:

   • Handle the device with care to avoid static damage.
   • Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and sources of heat.

7. Testing:

   • Use a multimeter to verify the supply voltage and ground connections.
   • Test the inputs and outputs using a logic analyzer or oscilloscope to ensure proper operation.

8. Applications:

   • The HCF4076BE is suitable for digital circuits requiring XOR and XNOR functions.
   • It can be used in data processing, error detection, and control systems.
