SN74ALVC14NSR

Overview

The SN74ALVC14NSR is a hex inverter integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments, belonging to the 74ALVC logic family. It features six independent Schmitt-trigger inverters housed in a 14-pin SOIC surface-mount package. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2.3V to 3.6V and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. Key electrical specifications include a maximum static current of 10 µA, output drive capabilities of 24mA for both high and low states, and a typical propagation delay of 3.4ns at 3.3V with a 50pF load.

Feature Summary

• Integrates six independent Schmitt-trigger inverters for noise filtering and signal conditioning
• Provides balanced push-pull outputs with 24mA drive strength for reliable signal transmission
• Operates across a wide industrial temperature range suitable for diverse environmental conditions

Applications

• Signal conditioning and waveform shaping in digital communication interfaces
• Clock buffer applications requiring noise immunity in high-speed data systems
• Level shifting between different voltage domains in mixed-signal circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix NSR confirms the tape-and-reel packaging format and standard commercial grade temperature rating. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the 14-SOIC package. Confirm RoHS compliance status matches project requirements. Validate that the manufacturer's lead time aligns with production schedules before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring multiple inverted signals with built-in hysteresis for noise rejection. The ALVC series offers superior speed compared to standard LVC devices while maintaining low power consumption. Consider the 14-SOIC package constraints regarding board space and thermal dissipation. Verify that the 2.3V minimum supply voltage meets the system's lowest operational power rail requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Texas Instruments 74ALVC14 family of hex Schmitt-trigger inverters. The 'D' suffix typically denotes tube packaging, whereas 'NSR' indicates reel packaging. It serves as a high-speed alternative to legacy LS and HC logic families, providing improved performance in modern low-voltage digital designs.

Replacement Considerations

SN74ALVC14DR: Identical functional specification with tube packaging instead of reel. SN74ALVC14DGVR: Same logic function but utilizes TVSOP-14 packaging rather than SOIC-14.
