74LVC14ABZZ

Inverter Gates Overview

The Nexperia 74LVC14ABZZ is a hex inverting Schmitt trigger housed in a DHXQFN-14 package (SOT8014-1). It operates on a supply voltage range of 1.2 V to 3.6 V with overvoltage tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V. The device features six independent inverters with Schmitt-trigger action, ensuring tolerance for slow input rise and fall times. Propagation delay ranges from 6.4 ns at 3.6 V to 14.7 ns at 1.65 V. It supports an ambient temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Schmitt-trigger inputs provide noise immunity and tolerate slow signal transitions.
• Overvoltage tolerant inputs allow direct interfacing with 5 V logic devices.
• CMOS construction ensures low static power consumption across the operating voltage range.

Inverter Gates Applications

• Wave and pulse shapers for highly noisy environments
• Astable multivibrators
• Monostable multivibrators

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix ZZ corresponds to the DHXQFN14 package configuration as documented in the ordering information table. Confirm that the required temperature grade matches the specified -40 °C to +125 °C operational range. Ensure design compatibility with the 5.5 V input tolerance limits defined in the recommended operating conditions before finalizing procurement specifications.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when hex inversion with hysteresis is required in mixed-voltage systems. The DHXQFN14 package offers a compact footprint suitable for space-constrained designs. Verify that the application does not exceed the 3.6 V maximum supply voltage limit while utilizing the 5.5 V input tolerance feature for level shifting purposes.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the 74LVC14A family of hex inverters manufactured by Nexperia. The ABZ suffix specifically denotes the DHXQFN14 leadless package variant. This series is designed for low-voltage CMOS applications requiring robust signal conditioning and interface capabilities between different logic voltage domains.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

The 74LVC14AD (SO14) and 74LVC14APW (TSSOP14) are electrically equivalent alternatives within the same family but utilize different physical packages. Cross-package substitution requires PCB layout modification due to differing pin configurations and thermal pad requirements.
