SN74LVC541A: Problem happens after 20 hours of continuous work

Part Number: SN74LVC541A
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SN74LVC125A,

Dear colleagues,

Our customer input a bell shape waveform, then output square waveform.

But after 20 hours of continuous work, output changes to bell shape waveform.

And turn off the power, after a half-hour, turn on again, waveform recovery.

So do you have some suggestions on this issue?

Wrong waveform:

Right waveform:

Best Regards,

Rock Su

  • What is the length (time) of the bell shape?

    The SN74LVC125A datasheet mentions the input transition rise or fall rate limit of 8 ns/V; I do not know why the SN74LVC541A datasheet keeps silent about.

  • Hi Rock,

    Following up to Clemens's request, could we get more information on the timing of the input waveform (rise time / fall time / length of the bell shape / length of time between bell shapes)?

    It would also be helpful to know the supply voltage, as that affects the propagation delay between input & output.

    Thanks!
