74LCX06MTCX_SF501652

Inverter Gates Overview

The 74LCX06MTCX is a low voltage hex inverter or buffer featuring open-drain outputs, manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor (now onsemi). It belongs to the LCX series and utilizes advanced CMOS technology. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2.3V to 3.6V. Inputs are designed to tolerate voltages up to 7V, facilitating interface between 5V systems and 3V systems. Key electrical specifications include a maximum propagation delay of 3.7 ns at VCC = 3.3V with a 50 pF load, a maximum quiescent current of 10 μA, and an output drive capability of 24 mA at VCC = 3.0V. The component is housed in a TSSOP-14 package.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Features inputs that tolerate voltages up to 7V for interfacing 5V systems with 3V logic levels
• Provides high-speed operation with a maximum propagation delay of 3.7 ns at 3.3V
• Incorporates patented noise and EMI reduction circuitry
• Offers power-down high impedance state for inputs and outputs

Inverter Gates Applications

• Interface circuits connecting 5V systems to 3V systems
• Low voltage digital logic inversion and buffering
• Open-drain output driving applications requiring pull-up resistors

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation carefully, as Fairchild Semiconductor was acquired by onsemi. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required tape and reel quantity. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors, as availability varies. Check for moisture sensitivity level requirements during storage and handling.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a hex inverter or buffer with open-drain outputs is required in a low voltage environment. It is suitable for designs needing 5V tolerant inputs while operating from a 3.3V supply. Consider the TSSOP-14 package constraints and the specific need for open-drain functionality versus standard push-pull outputs found in other series members like the 74LCX04.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the 74LCX family of low voltage CMOS logic devices. The LCX series is characterized by high speed and low power consumption, making it compatible with various logic families. The 74LCX06 specifically provides six independent inverters or buffers with open-drain outputs, distinguishing it from standard inverters which typically have push-pull outputs.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Functionally compatible substitutes include the 74LVC06 and SN74LVC06A. For pin-compatible alternatives with similar performance, consider the 74HC06 or 74HCT06, though voltage tolerances and drive strengths may differ. Verify that replacement parts support the required 5V input tolerance if interfacing with higher voltage logic.
