NC7NZ14L8X

Inverter Gates Overview

The NC7NZ14L8X is a CMOS inverter from the TinyLogic UHS series by onsemi, formerly Fairchild Semiconductor. It features three independent inverters with Schmitt trigger inputs in an 8-lead MicroPak package. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 1.65 V to 5.5 V and supports surface mount installation. Key electrical parameters include high output drive currents of ±32 mA and propagation delays ranging from 5.9 ns to 12.5 ns depending on load conditions. It functions across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Ultra-high speed performance with Schmitt trigger inputs for noise immunity
• High output drive capability supporting ±32 mA loads
• Broad operating voltage range compatible with 1.65 V to 5.5 V supplies
• Compact leadless MicroPak packaging for space-constrained designs

Inverter Gates Applications

• Signal conditioning and waveform shaping in digital circuits
• Clock signal buffering and inversion
• Interface level translation between different logic families
• Noise filtering in high-speed data lines

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation carefully, as onsemi acquired Fairchild Semiconductor's logic business. Confirm the specific suffix 'L8X' corresponds to the 8-lead MicroPak package variant. Ensure RoHS compliance documentation matches current regulatory requirements. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics remain consistent with design specifications.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when ultra-high speed inversion with hysteresis is required in minimal footprint applications. The NC7NZ14L8X offers superior speed compared to standard logic while maintaining low power consumption. Consider the ±32 mA drive strength for direct interfacing with moderate capacitive loads without additional buffering stages.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the NC7NZ family of TinyLogic UHS inverters. It shares functional similarities with other members like the NC7NZ04L8X (non-inverting) but differs in logical operation. The device represents the transition from Fairchild branding to onsemi manufacturing standards while retaining established performance metrics and package dimensions.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include NC7NZ04L8X for non-inverting applications and NC7WZ14L8X for dual-channel configurations. Verify package compatibility and electrical parameter alignment before substitution.
