Notes:
*3 The VCC supply must be bypassed by a 0.1μF capacitor or larger. This can be either a ceramic or solid
tantalum capacitor with good high frequency characteristic and should be connected as close as possible to
the package VCC and GND pins
*4 CMH– The maximum tolerable rate of rise of the common mode voltage to ensure the output will remain in
the HIGH state (i.e., VOUT > 2.0V).
*5 CML– The maximum tolerable rate of rise of the common mode voltage to ensure the output will remain in
the LOW output state (i.e., VOUT < 0.8V).
