Add a decoupling capacitor from VCC to
GND. The capacitor needs to be placed physically
close to the device and electrically close to both
the VCC and GND pins. An example layout
is shown in Layout Examples.
Ensure the capacitive load at the output is ≤ 70pF. This is not a hard limit; by design, however, it will optimize performance.
This can be accomplished by providing short, appropriately sized traces from the
SN74LVC11A to the receiving device.
Ensure the resistive load at the output is larger
than (VCC / IO(max)) Ω, so that the maximum output current
from the Absolute Maximum Ratings is not violated. Most CMOS inputs have
a resistive load measured in mega ohms; much larger than the minimum calculated
previously.
Thermal issues are rarely a concern for logic
gates, however the power consumption and thermal increase can be calculated
using the steps provided in the application report, CMOS Power
Consumption and Cpd Calculation
