Power Supply Recommendations

The power supply can be any voltage between the MIN and MAX supply voltage rating located in the Section 5.4

table.

Each VCC pin should have a good bypass capacitor to prevent power disturbance. For devices with a single

supply, 0.1 µF is recommended; if there are multiple VCC pins, then 0.01 µF or 0.022 µF is recommended for

each power pin. It is acceptable to parallel multiple bypass caps to reject different frequencies of noise. A 0.1 µF

and a 1 µF are commonly used in parallel. The bypass capacitor should be installed as close to the power pin as

possible for best results.

8.3 Layout

8.3.1 Layout Guidelines

When using multiple bit logic devices inputs should never float.

In many cases, functions or parts of functions of digital logic devices are unused, for example, when only two

inputs of a triple-input AND gate are used or only 3 of the 4 buffer gates are used. Such input pins should not

be left unconnected because the undefined voltages at the outside connections result in undefined operational

states. Section 8.3.2 specifies the rules that must be observed under all circumstances. All unused inputs of

digital logic devices must be connected to a high or low bias to prevent them from floating. The logic level that

should be applied to any particular unused input depends on the function of the device. Generally they will be

tied to GND or VCC, whichever makes more sense or is more convenient. It is generally acceptable to float

outputs, unless the part is a transceiver.
