Instructions for Use:

1. Supply Voltage (V_CC):

   • Ensure the supply voltage is within the range of 4.5V to 18V.
   • Avoid exceeding the maximum voltage to prevent damage to the device.

2. Output Current:

   • The device can source or sink up to 600mA per output.
   • Ensure that the load does not exceed this current limit to avoid overheating or damage.

3. Input Voltage Levels:

   • For a high input level (V_IH), the voltage should be at least 2.0V.
   • For a low input level (V_IL), the voltage should be no more than 0.8V.

4. Output Voltage Levels:

   • When sourcing current, the output voltage (V_OH) will be at least 2.4V and can go up to V_CC - 0.1V.
   • When sinking current, the output voltage (V_OL) will be no more than 0.4V.

5. Propagation Delay Time:

   • The propagation delay time (t_pd) is typically 22ns under standard conditions (V_CC = 5V, V_I = 2.5V to 0.8V).

6. Power Dissipation:

   • The maximum power dissipation (P_D) is 625mW. Ensure adequate heat dissipation if operating near this limit.

7. Operating Temperature:

   • The device is rated to operate between -40°C and 85°C. Ensure the ambient temperature stays within this range to maintain reliable operation.

8. Handling and Storage:

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

9. Mounting:

   • Ensure proper soldering and mounting techniques to avoid mechanical stress on the pins.
   • Follow the recommended PCB layout guidelines for optimal performance and reliability.
