74LCX07FT

Overview

The Toshiba Semiconductor and Storage 74LCX07FT is a hex buffer featuring open-drain outputs, designed for low-voltage digital applications. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.65 V to 3.6 V. The device incorporates six independent non-inverting buffers in a single package. Key electrical specifications include a maximum propagation delay of 22 ns at 50 pF load capacitance. Output drive capabilities are rated at 24 mA for both high and low states. It utilizes a 14-pin TSSOP surface-mount package.

Feature Summary

• Provides six independent non-inverting buffer channels with open-drain output configuration
• Operates across a wide low-voltage power supply range from 1.65 V to 3.6 V
• Supports bidirectional level translation between different voltage domains

Applications

• Bidirectional voltage level shifting between 1.8 V and 3.3 V logic systems
• Driving open-drain loads such as I2C buses or LED indicators
• Interface buffering in portable battery-powered electronic devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'FT' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm the exact tape-and-reel packaging quantity and moisture sensitivity level. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for your target market. Cross-reference the ordering code with official distributor catalogs to confirm availability status and lead times before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an open-drain output topology is required for wired-AND logic configurations or direct interfacing with external pull-up networks. The 74LCX series offers superior speed compared to older HC/HCT families while maintaining compatibility with standard CMOS input thresholds. Consider the 14-pin TSSOP footprint constraints during PCB layout planning to ensure adequate thermal dissipation and soldering reliability.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 74LCX family of advanced low-voltage CMOS logic devices manufactured by Toshiba Semiconductor and Storage. The LCX series is engineered for high-speed operation with reduced power consumption, making it suitable for modern portable electronics. The 74LCX07 variant specifically provides buffered outputs with open-drain characteristics, distinguishing it from standard push-pull buffer variants within the same logical family.

Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts include the NXP 74LVC07A and ON Semiconductor MC74LCX07. Verify pinout compatibility and output drive strength when substituting. Ensure the alternative component supports the required 3.6 V maximum operating voltage and maintains similar propagation delay specifications.
