NL37WZ14US

Overview

The NL37WZ14US is a triple inverter from the LCX logic family, designed for operation within a 1.65 V to 5.5 V supply voltage range. It features Schmitt-trigger inputs with approximately 1 V hysteresis at 5 V to ensure clean signal transitions. The device provides balanced output drive capabilities of 24 mA and maintains low static power dissipation. Packaged in an US-8 surface-mount format, it operates reliably across temperatures from -40 °C to +85 °C.

Feature Summary

• Schmitt-trigger input structure provides significant noise immunity and hysteresis for slow or noisy signals
• Wide operating voltage range supports direct interfacing between 1.65 V and 5.5 V logic systems
• Balanced high and low output current drive capability ensures symmetric switching performance

Applications

• Line receiver applications for converting slow-changing input signals into defined outputs
• Noise filtering in digital communication interfaces
• Signal conditioning for microcontroller input pins

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official datasheets to confirm package type and tape/reel specifications. Ensure the component matches the required temperature grade and voltage tolerance for your target application environment before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when Schmitt-trigger functionality is required for noise rejection in low-voltage CMOS environments. It serves as a suitable alternative to standard inverters where signal integrity is compromised by slow rise times or electrical interference.

Part Context
