Instructions for Use:

1. Power Supply:

   • Ensure the supply voltage (VCC) is within the specified range of 4.5V to 5.5V.
   • Connect the ground (GND) pin to a stable ground reference.

2. Input Signals:

   • Input voltages (VI) should be within the range of 0V to VCC.
   • Avoid applying voltages outside this range to prevent damage to the device.

3. Output Handling:

   • The maximum output current (IO) per pin is 25mA. Do not exceed this limit to avoid overheating or damaging the device.
   • The output voltage (VO) will be between 0.4V and VCC - 0.4V for logic levels.

4. Temperature Considerations:

   • Operate the device within the ambient temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.
   • Store the device in an environment with temperatures between -65°C and 150°C.

5. Propagation Delay:

   • The typical propagation delay time (tPD) is 10ns. This is the time it takes for a change at the input to appear at the output.

6. Power Dissipation:

   • The maximum power dissipation (PD) is 340mW. Ensure proper heat dissipation if the device is operating near this limit.

7. Quiescent Current:

   • The quiescent current (IQ) is typically 10μA when all outputs are high. This is the current drawn by the device under no load conditions.

8. Handling Precautions:

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

9. Mounting and Soldering:

   • Follow recommended soldering profiles to ensure reliable connections without damaging the device.
   • Use appropriate soldering tools and techniques to avoid excessive heat exposure.
