SN74LVC1G32-Q1: question about Input transition rise or fall rate

Part Number: SN74LVC1G32-Q1

Hi expert

i saw the following in our datasheet:SN74LVC1G32-Q1 Single 2-input positive-OR gate datasheet (Rev. A)

how to understand this spec? during design circuit, what is needed to pay attention?

thanks 

  • Hi Jay,

    This spec means that the input must have a slew rate of at least 0.1V/ns at 3.3V VCC. When designing the circuit, make sure the input signal has a fast enough slew rate. Usually this just means that you do not have a large capacitive load on the input.

    If the slew rate is lower than the spec demands, the device might not transition properly, or the input stage will oscillate and the device can be damaged due to increased shoot through current.

    Best,

    Malcolm
