74LVC14AS14-13

Inverter Gates Overview

The Diodes Incorporated 74LVC14AS14-13 is a hex inverter with Schmitt trigger inputs, part of the LVC logic family. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.65V to 5.5V and features outputs capable of sinking or sourcing 24mA at VCC = 3.3V. The device includes IOFF circuitry for partial power-down applications, preventing damaging current backflow. Inputs are tolerant to 5.5V, facilitating mixed-voltage environments. It is available in SO-14 and TSSOP-14 packages.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Provides six independent Schmitt trigger inverter buffers for signal conditioning
• Supports partial power-down mode operation via integrated IOFF circuitry
• Inputs tolerate up to 5.5V, enabling direct interfacing with higher voltage systems

Inverter Gates Applications

• Voltage level shifting between different logic domains
• General-purpose logic inversion in mixed-voltage circuits
• Power down signal isolation to prevent backflow currents

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package suffix (S14 for SO-14 or T14 for TSSOP-14) against your PCB footprint requirements. Confirm that the -13 tape and reel packing quantity aligns with your manufacturing line setup. Ensure input voltage levels do not exceed the absolute maximum ratings during transient conditions.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when noise immunity is required due to its Schmitt trigger input characteristics. It is suitable for designs needing robust signal restoration from slow-rising waveforms. Consider the 24mA drive capability if driving moderate capacitive loads directly without additional buffering stages.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the 74LVC14A series of hex inverters with Schmitt triggers manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. The 'S14' suffix indicates the SO-14 surface mount package variant. It is designed for low-voltage digital applications requiring high noise immunity and flexible voltage translation capabilities across various consumer and industrial electronics.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other manufacturers' 74LVC14 devices in equivalent packages. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical specifications such as propagation delay and output drive strength before substitution.

Inverter Gates FAQ

How does the IOFF feature benefit the circuit?

The IOFF circuitry disables the outputs when the device is powered down, preventing damaging current backflow from powered rails into unpowered pins.

Can this device interface with 5.5V logic signals?

Yes, the inputs are tolerant to 5.5V, allowing them to accept signals from 3.3V or 5.5V sources even if the device itself is powered at lower voltages.
