Instructions for Use:

1. Supply Voltage (V_CC):

   • Ensure the supply voltage is within the range of 1.8V to 6.0V.
   • Avoid exceeding the maximum supply voltage to prevent damage to the device.

2. Input Voltages (V_IL, V_IH):

   • For reliable operation, input low voltages should be below 2.0V and input high voltages should be above 3.0V when V_CC is 5.0V.
   • Inputs should not exceed V_CC or go below ground to avoid potential damage.

3. Output Voltages (V_OL, V_OH):

   • The output low voltage should not exceed 0.4V under a load current of 4 mA.
   • The output high voltage should be at least 4.5V under a load current of -4 mA.

4. Leakage Currents (I_IL, I_OL):

   • Input and output leakage currents are typically around 1.0 μA. Ensure that any connected circuits can handle this level of leakage.

5. Propagation Delay Time (t_pLH, t_pHL):

   • The typical propagation delay time is 7.0 ns at a supply voltage of 5.0V and a frequency of 10 MHz.
   • This parameter is crucial for timing considerations in digital circuits.

6. Power Consumption (P_tot):

   • The typical power consumption is 1.0 mW at a supply voltage of 5.0V and a frequency of 10 MHz.
   • Ensure that the power supply can handle the total power consumption of the circuit.

7. Handling and Storage:

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

8. Mounting and Soldering:

   • Follow recommended soldering profiles to avoid thermal stress.
   • Ensure proper alignment and secure mounting to prevent mechanical stress on the device.

By adhering to these parameters and instructions, you can ensure optimal performance and reliability of the 74VHC00FT device.
