ATTENTIONThese devices contain circuits to protect the inputs and outputs against damagedue to high static voltages or electrostatic fields; however, it is advised thatprecautions be taken to avoid application of any voltage higher than maximumratedvoltages to these high-impedance circuits.Unused inputs must always be connected to an appropriate logic voltage level,preferably either supply voltage or ground.•Additional information concerning the handling of ESD sensitive devices isavailable from Texas Instruments in a document entitled "Guidelines forHandling Electrostatic-Discharge-Sensitive (ESDS) Devices and Assemblies."Please contactTexas InstrumentsP.O.
