74LCX06M

Inverter Gates Overview

The onsemi 74LCX06M is a hex inverter and buffer within the LCX logic family, designed for low-voltage CMOS applications. It features six independent inverters with open-drain outputs, supporting a supply voltage range of 2 V to 3.6 V. The device operates reliably across an extended temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum propagation delay of 4.1 ns at 2.7 V and 3.7 ns at 3.3 V, along with a low-level output current capability of 24 mA. Packaged in SOIC-14, it serves as a high-speed digital logic component.

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status and specific manufacturing date codes against project requirements. Check for obsolescence notices or lifecycle changes prior to final design approval. Ensure packaging specifications match assembly line capabilities.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when designing low-voltage digital circuits requiring hex inversion with open-drain outputs. Consider the 2V to 3.6V operating range and ensure load conditions remain within the 24 mA sink limit. Evaluate thermal performance for operation within the specified -40°C to +85°C ambient range. Compare propagation delays against system timing constraints.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the 74LCX series of low-voltage CMOS logic devices manufactured by onsemi. The LCX family is optimized for high-speed operation with low power dissipation, making it suitable for portable and battery-powered applications. The 74LCX06 specifically provides hex inverting functionality with open-drain outputs, distinguishing it from standard push-pull logic families.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include MC74LCX06DT and 74LCX06MTCX from onsemi. Cross-manufacturer alternatives such as SN74LVC06APW from Texas Instruments may be considered if pinout and electrical characteristics align with design requirements.
