8.1.1.2 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. Verify that the capacitive load at the output is ≤ 50pF. 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 SN74AHCT541-Q1 to one or more of the receiving devices.
  3. Verify that the resistive load at the output is larger than (VCC / IO(max))Ω. Doing this prevents the maximum output current from the Absolute Maximum Ratings from being violated. 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 CMOS Power Consumption and Cpd Calculation application note.
