For accurate comparator applications without hysteresis maintaining a stable power supply with minimized noise and glitches is critical. Best practice is to add a bypass capacitor between the supply voltage and ground. This can be implemented on the positive power supply and negative supply (if available). If a negative supply is not being used, do not put a capacitor between the GND pin and system ground.
Minimize coupling between outputs and inverting inputs to prevent output oscillations. Do not run output and inverting input traces in parallel unless there is a VCC or GND trace between output and inverting input traces to reduce coupling. When series resistance is added to inputs, place resistor close to the device.
