SN74ALVC14PWR

Overview

The SN74ALVC14PWR is a hex Schmitt-trigger inverter manufactured by Texas Instruments, belonging to the ALVC logic family. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.3 V to 3.6 V and supports a maximum propagation delay of 3.4 ns at 3.3 V with a 50 pF load. The device features push-pull outputs capable of sourcing and sinking 24 mA. It is housed in a 14-pin TSSOP package and functions reliably across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates six independent inverting channels with Schmitt-trigger input thresholds for noise filtering
• Provides high-speed signal processing with low propagation delay characteristics typical of the ALVC series
• Supports robust output drive capability suitable for interfacing with various digital loads

Applications

• Signal conditioning and waveform shaping in noisy environments
• Clock circuit generation and timing applications
• Level shifting between different voltage domains in mixed-signal systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix PWR corresponds to the TSSOP-14 package configuration when ordering. Confirm that the required operating temperature range aligns with the industrial specification limits. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB footprint and soldering profile for surface-mount assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when Schmitt-trigger hysteresis is required to stabilize inputs against slow-rising signals or electrical noise. The ALVC series offers faster switching speeds compared to standard LVC variants while maintaining low power consumption. Verify that the 2.3 V minimum supply voltage meets the system's lowest operational requirement.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Texas Instruments SN74ALVC14 family of hex inverters. It shares functional similarities with other ALVC logic gates but is distinct due to its Schmitt-trigger inputs. The PWR suffix denotes the specific thin-shrink small-outline package used for compact board designs.
