Instructions for Use:

1. Power Supply:

   • Ensure the supply voltage (Vcc) is within the specified range of 4.5V to 5.5V.
   • Use appropriate decoupling capacitors (e.g., 0.1 μF) close to the Vcc pin to stabilize the power supply.

2. Output Current:

   • Each output pin can source or sink up to 50 mA continuously.
   • The total current drawn from all outputs combined should not exceed 150 mA.

3. Input Levels:

   • High-level input voltage (VIH) should be at least 2.0V and can go up to 5.5V.
   • Low-level input voltage (VIL) should be no more than 0.8V.

4. Output Levels:

   • When sourcing current (IO = -0.4 mA), the high-level output voltage (VOH) should be at least 2.4V.
   • When sinking current (IO = 16 mA), the low-level output voltage (VOL) should not exceed 0.5V.

5. Propagation Delay:

   • The propagation delay time (tpd) is typically 12 ns but can be as high as 35 ns.

6. Thermal Management:

   • The device can dissipate up to 625 mW of power.
   • Ensure adequate heat dissipation if operating near the maximum power dissipation.

7. Temperature Range:

   • The operating temperature range is -40°C to 85°C.
   • The storage temperature range is -65°C to 150°C.

8. Handling:

   • Handle the device with care to avoid static damage.
   • Follow standard ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) precautions when handling and soldering the device.

9. Mounting:

   • Ensure proper mounting and soldering techniques to avoid mechanical stress on the pins and the package.

10. Testing:

    • Test the device under typical operating conditions to ensure it meets the specified parameters.
