Instructions for Use:

1. Power Supply:

   • Ensure the supply voltage (V_CC) is within the range of 4.75V to 5.25V to avoid damage to the device.
   • Use a stable power supply to maintain consistent operation.

2. Input Signals:

   • Input signals should be within the specified input high (V_IH) and input low (V_IL) voltage levels to ensure proper logic recognition.
   • Avoid floating inputs; use pull-up or pull-down resistors if necessary.

3. Output Signals:

   • The output high level (V_OH) and output low level (V_OL) voltages should be within the specified ranges to ensure reliable operation with connected devices.
   • Ensure the load current does not exceed the maximum output current ratings.

4. Propagation Delay:

   • The propagation delay time (t_pd) is critical for timing considerations in digital circuits. Use this value to synchronize operations with other components.

5. Thermal Management:

   • The device can dissipate up to 650 mW at room temperature. Ensure adequate heat dissipation if operating near the maximum power dissipation.
   • Operate the device within the specified temperature range to avoid thermal stress and potential failure.

6. Storage:

   • Store the device in a controlled environment within the storage temperature range to prevent damage from extreme temperatures.

7. Handling:

   • Handle the device with care to avoid static discharge, which can damage the internal circuitry.
   • Follow ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) precautions when handling and installing the device.
