74LCX06SJX

Inverter Gates Overview

The onsemi 74LCX06SJX is a low-voltage CMOS open-drain hex inverter manufactured using sub-micron silicon gate technology. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2V to 3.6V and features five-volt tolerant inputs, allowing direct interfacing with 5V logic environments. The device provides symmetrical output impedance with a minimum drive current of 24mA at VCC = 3V. It includes power-down protection circuits that maintain high-impedance states during power-off conditions. The component offers high noise immunity and stable output performance suitable for low-power applications.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Open-drain outputs designed for bus-oriented control and level shifting
• Five-volt tolerant inputs enabling compatibility with mixed voltage systems
• Power-down protection ensuring high-impedance states when the device is unpowered

Inverter Gates Applications

• Bus-oriented control systems requiring open-drain signaling
• Level translation between 3.3V logic and 5V signal environments
• Driving relays, LEDs, or other loads in low-voltage digital circuits

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix SJX against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm package dimensions and pinout compatibility. Confirm RoHS compliance status as manufacturing processes may vary by production date. Ensure the source document explicitly identifies the part as an open-drain inverter before integration into designs requiring this specific output topology.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-voltage hex inverter with open-drain capability is required for 3.3V systems interfacing with 5V peripherals. The five-volt tolerant input feature simplifies interface design without additional level-shifting components. Verify that the open-drain output configuration aligns with the system's pull-up requirements and electrical load specifications.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This component belongs to the 74LCX series of low-voltage CMOS logic devices produced by onsemi. The LCX family is characterized by high speed and low power consumption, offering performance comparable to older AC/ACT families but with reduced operating voltages. The 74LCX06 specifically provides six independent inverting channels in a single integrated circuit package.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the MC74LCX06DT from onsemi. Other compatible alternatives are the SN74LVC06APW from Texas Instruments and the 74LVC06APW,118 from Nexperia.
