74LCX14M

Inverter Gates Overview

The onsemi 74LCX14MTCX is a low-voltage hex inverter gate featuring Schmitt trigger inputs, designed to convert slowly changing input signals into sharply defined, jitter-free output signals. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2V to 3.6V and supports a maximum propagation delay of 7.8ns. The device provides high-level and low-level output currents of -24mA and 24mA respectively, with a quiescent current of 10µA. It is housed in a 14-TSSOP surface-mount package and functions across an operating temperature range of -65°C to +150°C.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Hex inverter configuration with Schmitt trigger inputs for signal conditioning
• Capable of transforming slowly changing input signals into sharply defined, jitter-free outputs
• Low quiescent current consumption for power efficiency

Inverter Gates Applications

• Signal conditioning for noisy or slow-rise/fall-time inputs
• Clock signal generation and shaping
• Oscillator circuits requiring precise threshold detection

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., MTCX) against the datasheet to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required moisture sensitivity level and RoHS compliance status. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest documentation for any pinout or electrical characteristic updates before finalizing procurement.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when Schmitt trigger action is required to eliminate noise-induced glitches on inverting logic lines. The wide operating temperature range makes it suitable for industrial environments. Verify that the 2V-3.6V supply voltage aligns with the system's power rails and that the TSSOP-14 footprint fits the PCB layout constraints.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This device belongs to the 74LCX family of low-voltage CMOS logic ICs. It serves as a standard hex inverter solution for modern digital systems requiring low power consumption and compatibility with 3.3V and 2.5V logic levels. The inclusion of Schmitt triggers distinguishes it from standard inverters by providing hysteresis for improved noise immunity.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible alternatives within the same logic family that offer identical Schmitt trigger characteristics. Ensure replacement parts maintain the same voltage range and output drive capabilities. Verify that any substitute maintains the specified propagation delay and temperature range requirements.
