Instructions for Use:

1. Supply Voltage (V_CC):

   • Ensure the supply voltage is within the range of 2.0 V to 5.5 V.
   • Do not exceed the maximum supply voltage to avoid damaging the device.

2. Input Levels:

   • For a valid low input, ensure the voltage is between 0.0 V and 0.8 V.
   • For a valid high input, ensure the voltage is between 2.0 V and V_CC.

3. Output Levels:

   • The output low voltage should be less than or equal to 0.4 V when sourcing 4 mA.
   • The output high voltage should be at least V_CC - 0.4 V when sinking -0.4 mA.

4. Leakage Currents:

   • Input leakage current should be within ±1 μA.
   • Output leakage current should also be within ±1 μA.

5. Propagation Delay:

   • The propagation delay time is typically 8 ns at a supply voltage of 5 V.
   • Ensure that the timing requirements of your application are compatible with this delay.

6. Power Dissipation:

   • The total power dissipation should not exceed 350 mW to prevent overheating and potential damage.

7. Temperature Range:

   • The operating temperature range is from -40°C to 85°C. Ensure the device operates within this range to maintain reliable performance.

8. Handling and Storage:

   • Handle the device with care to avoid static damage.
   • Store the device in a dry environment to prevent moisture-related issues.

9. Layout Considerations:

   • Ensure proper decoupling capacitors are placed close to the V_CC and GND pins to minimize noise and improve stability.
   • Follow good PCB layout practices to reduce signal interference and crosstalk.

10. Testing:

    • Before finalizing the design, test the device under various conditions to ensure it meets the required specifications and performance criteria.
