Hello SI Experts, I am faced to signal integrity issue when temperature rises above 70°C. My clock signal output from 54HCT04 bare die is distorted: it presents non monotonic edges that falls down to 1V, ie under next device low threshold (Vil = 1.5V). Thus my clock at 3MHz is seen as a 6MHz clock, and my test is FAIL. When the temperature falls down to ambiant, the signal quality comes back perfect. - Have some of you ever seen such a temperature phenomenon ? - Do you have an idea of what happens to the 54HCT04 die ? - The backside of the die is left floating: do you think that we should connect the backside to VCC potential? Thank you for your help. Regards.
