Notes:

*3 The VCC supply must be bypassed by a 0.1μF capacitor or larger. This can be either a ceramic or solid

tantalum capacitor with good high frequency characteristic and should be connected as close as possible to

the package VCC and GND pins

*4 CMH– The maximum tolerable rate of rise of the common mode voltage to ensure the output will remain in

the HIGH state (i.e., VOUT > 2.0V).

*5 CML– The maximum tolerable rate of rise of the common mode voltage to ensure the output will remain in

the LOW output state (i.e., VOUT < 0.8V).
