current level, the active current level, and the transient current
peaks that are produced by voltage transitions on input pins. The
magnitude of these transient current peaks is dependent on the
output capacitance loading of the device. The associated VCC
transient voltage peaks can be suppressed by properly selected
decoupling capacitors. It is recommended that at least a 0.1 µF
ceramic capacitor be used on every device between VCC and
GND. This should be a high frequency capacitor of low inherent
inductance. In addition, at least a 4.7 µF bulk electrolytic capacitor
should be used between VCC and GND for each eight devices. The
bulk capacitor
