Instructions for Use:

1. Supply Voltage:

   • Ensure the supply voltage (V_DD) is within the range of 3.0V to 18.0V.
   • Avoid exceeding the maximum supply voltage to prevent damage to the device.

2. Input Voltages:

   • For a high input, the voltage should be at least V_DD - 1.5V.
   • For a low input, the voltage should be no more than V_DD - 3.5V.

3. Output Voltages:

   • When sourcing current (I_O = 1.0 mA), the output voltage (V_OL) should not exceed 0.5V.
   • When sinking current (I_O = -1.0 mA), the output voltage (V_OH) should be at least V_DD - 1.5V.

4. Propagation Delay:

   • The typical propagation delay time (t_pd) is 36 ns at V_DD = 10V and f = 1 MHz.

5. Power Dissipation:

   • The maximum power dissipation (P_D) is 500 mW. Ensure proper heat dissipation if operating near this limit.

6. Temperature Ranges:

   • The operating temperature range (T_A) is from -40°C to 85°C.
   • The storage temperature range (T_STG) is from -65°C to 150°C.

7. Handling:

   • Handle the device with care to avoid static discharge, which can damage the internal components.
   • Use appropriate ESD protection measures during handling and installation.

8. Mounting:

   • Ensure the device is properly mounted on a PCB with adequate clearance and thermal management if necessary.
   • Follow the recommended soldering profile to avoid thermal stress.

9. Testing:

   • Before final assembly, test the device under specified conditions to ensure it meets the required performance parameters.
