74LVC3G14V8-7

Inverter Gates Overview

The Diodes Incorporated 74LVC3G14V8-7 is a triple Schmitt-trigger inverter housed in an 8-pin VSSOP package. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.65V to 5.5V and features inputs tolerant up to 5.5V for mixed-voltage environments. The device includes IOFF circuitry to support partial power-down applications by disabling outputs and preventing backflow current. It provides standard push-pull outputs with drive capabilities of ±24mA at 3.3V.

• ESD protection exceeds 2000V Human Body Model and 1000V Charged Device Model

Inverter Gates Applications

• Voltage-level shifting
• General-purpose logic
• Power down signal isolation

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix '-7' corresponds to the 7-inch tape and reel packaging configuration as documented in the manufacturer's ordering information. Confirm that the V8 package code accurately identifies the VSSOP-8 form factor required for the target PCB layout. Ensure compliance with RoHS 3 and halogen-free specifications if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly process.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when three independent inverting channels with hysteresis are required in a compact surface-mount footprint. The wide operating voltage range accommodates systems utilizing 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, or 5V supplies. The inclusion of IOFF functionality makes it suitable for designs requiring safe isolation during power-down states without external control components.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the 74LVC series of low-voltage CMOS logic devices manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. The '3G' designation indicates three gates per package, while '14' specifies the Schmitt-trigger inverter function. The V8 suffix uniquely identifies the VSSOP-8 package variant, distinguishing it from other physical footprints like SSOP-8 available within the same logical family.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with SN74LVC3G14DCUR from Texas Instruments for equivalent electrical characteristics and pinout compatibility. Verify that any substitute maintains the same VSSOP-8 package dimensions and thermal resistance values to ensure mechanical fit and reliable heat dissipation in the existing design.

Inverter Gates FAQ

How does the IOFF feature function?

The IOFF circuitry disables the output when the device is powered down, preventing damaging current backflow into the system.

What is the input voltage tolerance?

The inputs are tolerant to 5.5V, allowing the device to interface with higher voltage signals even when operating at lower supply voltages.
