PARAMETER MEASUREMENT INFORMATION

Propagation delay time is defined as the interval between the application of an input step function and the instant when

the output crosses VO = 1 V with VDD = 3 V or when the output crosses VO = 1.4 V with VDD = 5 V. Propagation delay

time, low-to-high-level output, is measured from the leading edge of the input pulse while propagation delay time,

high-to-low-level output, is measured from the trailing edge of the input pulse. Propagation-delay-time measurement

at low input signal levels can be greatly affected by the input offset voltage. The offset voltage should be balanced

by the adjustment at the inverting input (as shown in Figure 11) so that the circuit is just at the transition point. Then

a low signal, for example 105-mV or 5-mV overdrive, causes the output to change states.
