Instructions for Use:

1. Power Supply:

   • Ensure the supply voltage (V_CC) is within the range of 2.0 V to 6.0 V.
   • Connect the ground (GND) pin to a stable reference potential.

2. Input Signals:

   • Apply input signals (V_IN) that meet the specified high (V_IH) and low (V_IL) voltage levels.
   • Avoid exceeding the maximum input voltage (V_CC) or going below ground (0 V).

3. Output Signals:

   • The output voltage (V_OH and V_OL) will be within the specified ranges when driving the specified current loads.
   • Ensure the load resistance is appropriate to maintain the output voltage levels within the specified limits.

4. Propagation Delay:

   • The propagation delay time (t_pd) is critical for timing considerations in digital circuits. Ensure that the delay meets the requirements of your application.

5. Thermal Management:

   • The power dissipation (P_D) should not exceed 100 mW to prevent overheating. Use proper heat sinking if necessary.

6. Temperature Range:

   • The device is rated for operation over a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. Ensure the operating environment does not exceed these limits.

7. Handling:

   • Handle the device with care to avoid damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD). Use appropriate ESD protection measures during handling and installation.

8. Testing:

   • Before integrating the device into a circuit, test it under controlled conditions to ensure it meets the specified parameters.

9. Schematic and Layout:

   • Follow recommended schematic and layout guidelines to ensure optimal performance and reliability. Keep signal paths short and use decoupling capacitors near the power pins to reduce noise.

10. Storage:

    • Store the device in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and sources of heat or moisture.
