Abstract
Data sheets, which usually give information on device behavior only under recommended operating conditions, may only
partially answer engineering questions that arise during the development of systems using logic devices. However, information
is frequently needed regarding the behavior of the device outside the conditions in the data sheet. Such questions might be:
“How does a bus driver behave with reduced (or even switched-off) supply voltage?” or “How does the delay time of a gate
with a large capacitive load change?” or “What must be considered when using
backdriving?”.
This report gives information on a number of questions that frequently arise. In addition, it provides examples that explain
phenomena that the designer should be aware of when using devices outside their recommended operating conditions.
1 Introduction
The function and behavior of digital logic devices are described fully in data sheets. Most questions regarding the behavior
of the device that arise when developing a system can be answered with the information given. However, the devices might
be operated under conditions not covered by the data sheet. This report addresses this issue and provides information on the
behavior of devices under such conditions.
Many parameter values in data sheets are not measured when the circuits are tested. The information is based on typical values
that have been established experimentally and that are applicable to the majority of devices of the same type or family. In
individual cases it might be necessary to interpret data and make measurements to accurately forecast the behavior of the
complete system.
2 Behavior With the Supply Voltage Reduced
Although not specifically mentioned in data sheets, additional components, some of them parasitic, influence operational
characteristics of devices. These components can affect the function of a system if the devices are not operated within the
recommended operating conditions. For example, large systems often require that parts of the system be shut down while other
parts continue to operate. Frequent problems occur at the interfaces between subsystems, which are operated with different
supply voltages, or whose supply voltages are switched off. This section describes the behavior of digital circuits operated with
low supply voltages.
2.1 Behavior With the Supply Voltage Switched Off
Because many circuits can be used with the various logic families, no general rule applies to the behavior of systems with supply
voltages switched off. For this reason, only the most important circuits and their behavior are discussed.
2.1.1 Bipolar Circuits
Figure 1 shows the simplified circuit of a TTL device with diode inputs, such as are used with devices in the SN74LS
(low-power Schottky TTL) logic family. However, the following comments apply to all other bipolar logic families.
