8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

  1. 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 the Layout section.
  2. Ensure the capacitive load at the output is ≤ 50 pF. 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 SN54SC8T541-SEP to one or more of the receiving devices.
  3. Ensure the resistive load at the output is larger than (VCC / IO(max)) Ω. Doing this will not violate the maximum output current from the Absolute Maximum Ratings. Most CMOS inputs have a resistive load measured in MΩ; much larger than the minimum calculated previously.
  4. Thermal issues are rarely a concern for logic gates; the power consumption and thermal increase, however, can be calculated using the steps provided in the application report, CMOS Power Consumption and Cpd Calculation.
