Instructions for Use:

1. Power Supply:

   • Ensure the supply voltage (V_CC) is within the specified range of 4.75V to 5.25V.
   • Connect the ground (GND) pin to a stable ground reference.

2. Input Signals:

   • Apply input signals that meet the input high (V_IH) and input low (V_IL) voltage levels.
   • Avoid exceeding the maximum input voltage levels to prevent damage to the device.

3. Output Signals:

   • The output high (V_OH) and output low (V_OL) voltages are designed to drive standard TTL loads.
   • Ensure the load current does not exceed the specified limits to avoid overheating or damage.

4. Propagation Delay:

   • The typical propagation delay time (t_pd) is 35 nanoseconds at room temperature (25°C) and a supply voltage of 5V.
   • Consider this delay when designing timing-sensitive circuits.

5. Temperature Considerations:

   • Operate the device within the specified operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C).
   • Store the device within the storage temperature range (-65°C to 150°C) to ensure long-term reliability.

6. Power Dissipation:

   • Ensure the power dissipation (P_T) does not exceed 100 milliwatts to avoid thermal issues.
   • Use appropriate heat sinking if necessary, especially in high-power applications.

7. Handling:

   • Handle the device with care to avoid static discharge, which can damage sensitive components.
   • Follow ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) precautions during handling and installation.

8. Mounting:

   • Mount the device on a PCB using standard surface mount or through-hole techniques.
   • Ensure proper soldering and alignment to avoid mechanical stress on the pins.

9. Testing:

   • Test the device under controlled conditions to verify its performance before integrating it into a larger system.
   • Use a multimeter or oscilloscope to check the input and output signals for correct operation.
