Instructions for Use:

1. Power Supply:

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

2. Input Signals:

   • Apply input signals with voltages between 0V and 5.5V for logic low and high, respectively.
   • Ensure that the input signals do not exceed the supply voltage or go below ground.

3. Output Signals:

   • The output high voltage (V_OH) will be between 2.4V and 5.0V when V_CC is 5V.
   • The output low voltage (V_OL) will be between 0V and 0.4V when V_CC is 5V.
   • The output current should not exceed 10mA for sinking (I_OL) or sourcing (I_OH) currents.

4. Propagation Delay:

   • The propagation delay time (t_pd) is the time it takes for the output to change state after the input changes. It ranges from 5ns to 15ns.

5. Temperature Considerations:

   • The device is designed to operate within a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.
   • Store the device in an environment with temperatures ranging from -65°C to 150°C.

6. Handling and Storage:

   • Handle the device with care to avoid static discharge, which can damage the internal circuits.
   • Store the device in a dry, cool place to prevent moisture damage.

7. Layout and PCB Design:

   • Use proper decoupling capacitors (e.g., 0.1μF ceramic capacitors) close to the power pins to ensure stable operation.
   • Keep signal traces as short as possible to minimize noise and crosstalk.

8. Testing:

   • Before integrating the device into a larger system, test it individually to ensure it meets the specified performance parameters.
   • Use appropriate test equipment to measure propagation delays, output voltages, and current levels.
