SN74AUP3G06DCUR

Overview

The SN74AUP3G06DCUR is a low-power triple inverter buffer and driver from Texas Instruments' AUP logic family. It features open-drain outputs and operates within a supply voltage range of 0.8V to 3.6V. The device provides a propagation delay of 4.3ns and draws a maximum static current of 500nA. It supports output currents of -4mA at high level and 4mA at low level. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to +85°C, housed in an 8-pin VSSOP package.

Feature Summary

• Low-power operation with minimal static and dynamic consumption across the full voltage range
• Open-drain output configuration suitable for voltage translation and wired-OR applications
• Triple inverter design providing three independent logic channels in a compact footprint

Applications

• Portable battery-powered equipment requiring extended operational life
• Voltage level shifting between different logic domains
• General-purpose digital signal inversion in space-constrained designs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix DCUR corresponds to the tape-and-reel packaging format required for automated assembly processes. Confirm that the open-drain output characteristic aligns with the target circuit's pull-up requirements. Ensure the operating temperature range meets the environmental specifications of the final application environment before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when low power consumption is critical alongside the need for open-drain functionality. Compare against standard CMOS families if higher drive strength is required, as this device prioritizes energy efficiency over raw current capability. Consider the 0.8V minimum supply voltage constraint for compatibility with modern low-voltage systems.

Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74AUP series, designed for ultra-low power applications. It complements other devices like the SN74AUP3G34 by offering inverted logic functions within the same low-power ecosystem. The VSSOP-8 package allows for dense PCB layouts compared to larger DIP or SOIC alternatives.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the SN74AUP3G06DCTR (same function, different reel size) or the SN74LVC3G06DCUR (similar form factor but different electrical characteristics). Verify pinout compatibility and voltage thresholds when cross-referencing with non-AUP family members.
