CD4009UB Inverter not settling

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CD4009UB

I am using a CD4009UB for a switching application that is sensitive to mV errors on a microsecond timescale.  I have hardwired it "deadbug" style on a copper ground plane.  All power is supplied by high-quality HP DC supplies.

  • VDD = 12V
  • VCC = 10V
  • VSS = 0V
  • All unused inputs are tied to VDD.
  • Input pulse is a positive, 8V pulse at 100 Hz, 1% duty cycle.

My requirements are:

  • switches from 10V to 0V.
  • transition time less than 80 ns.
  • settles to error band of 5 mV in 200 ns.

Here is what I measure (Tek P6139A passive 500MHz 8pF probe into a Tek TDS3012 100MHz scope):

I need to eliminate that 20 mV hump that occurs after the initial ringing.  Can anyone suggest how I could do that?  (Note:  I have verified that the "hump" is NOT found in the trigger pulse, which is provided by an Agilent 33250A arbitrary waveform generator.)
