Currents
Positive current is defined as conventional current flow
into a device.
Negative current is defined as conventional current flow
out of a device.
Voltages
All voltages are referenced to GND (ground), which is
typically 0 V
.

Quiescent power supply current; the current
flowing into the V
CC
supply terminal.
Additional quiescent supply current per input
pin at a specified input voltage and V
CC
.
Quiescent power supply current; the current
flowing into the GND terminal.
Input leakage current; the current flowing into a
device at a specified input voltage and V
CC
.
Input diode current; the current flowing into a
device at a specified input voltage.
Output source or sink current: the current
flowing into a device at a specified output
voltage.

device at a specified output voltage.
OFF-state output current; the leakage current
flowing into the output of a 3-state device in the
OFF-state, when the output is connected to
V

connected to an output terminal including jig
and probe capacitance.
Power dissipation capacitance; the capacitance
used to determine the dynamic power
dissipation per logic function, when no extra
