74LVC14APW/AUJ

Inverter Gates Overview

The 74LVC14APW/AUJ is a hex inverting Schmitt trigger manufactured by Nexperia, housed in a TSSOP14 package (SOT402-1). It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.2 V to 3.6 V and features overvoltage tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V. The device provides six independent inverters with distinct positive-going (VT+) and negative-going (VT-) threshold voltages, creating hysteresis for noise immunity. It supports unlimited input rise and fall times and complies with JEDEC standards JESD8-C and JESD36.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Hex inverter configuration with Schmitt-trigger inputs
• Overvoltage tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V
• Wide supply voltage range from 1.2 V to 3.6 V
• Compliance with JEDEC standards JESD8-C and JESD36

Inverter Gates Applications

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

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current product data sheet to confirm the exact package type and temperature rating. Confirm that the component status matches production requirements, as specifications may be updated without notice. Ensure compatibility with system voltage levels and environmental operating conditions before finalizing procurement.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring signal conditioning in mixed 3.3 V and 5 V environments. The Schmitt-trigger action is essential for converting slowly changing signals into sharply defined outputs. Verify that the TSSOP14 package dimensions fit the available PCB space and that the thermal dissipation characteristics are adequate for the intended ambient temperature range.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the 74LVC14A family of hex inverters with Schmitt triggers. The 'PW' designation specifically identifies the TSSOP14 plastic thin shrink small outline package variant. This series is designed for low-power CMOS applications and offers direct interface capabilities with TTL logic levels while maintaining robust ESD protection performance.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other 74LVC14A variants such as the SO14 package version (74LVC14AD) or DHVQFN14 package version (74LVC14ABQ), provided pinout compatibility is maintained.
