SN74LV14APW

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74LV14APW is a hex Schmitt-trigger inverter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 5.5 V and features six independent inverting channels. The device utilizes CMOS logic technology and is housed in a 14-pin TSSOP package with a width of 4.40 mm. It supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +125°C. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum propagation delay of 15.2 ns at 2.5 V, 10.6 ns at 3.3 V, and 7.5 ns at 5 V. Output drive capabilities are specified as 16 mA for low-level output current.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Integrates six independent Schmitt-trigger inverters for noise filtering and signal conditioning
• Supports wide supply voltage operation from 2 V to 5.5 V
• Provides robust output drive capability suitable for driving capacitive loads

Inverter Gates Applications

• Signal conditioning for noisy digital environments
• Waveform shaping of slow-rise or slow-fall input signals
• Clock signal generation and distribution

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PW' corresponds to the 14-TSSOP package variant when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation or authorized distributors. Ensure the component meets the required industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +125°C) for your specific application environment. Cross-reference ordering information with the latest Texas Instruments datasheet to avoid discrepancies in packaging or revision levels.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when Schmitt-trigger hysteresis is required to eliminate noise on input signals. It is suitable for applications requiring inversion with moderate speed and high noise immunity. Compare against standard inverters if hysteresis is unnecessary. Consider the TSSOP package constraints for PCB layout. Verify that the 2 V to 5.5 V supply range aligns with the system power rails.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74LV14A series of hex Schmitt-trigger inverters. It is functionally compatible with other variants in the LV family, such as SN74LV14APWR, differing primarily in packaging (TSSOP vs. SOIC/TSSOP reel options). The 'A' designation typically indicates enhanced specifications or revisions within the product line. It serves as a fundamental building block for digital logic circuits requiring clean signal transitions.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

SN74LV14APWR is a direct functional substitute with identical electrical characteristics but may differ in tape-and-reel packaging configuration. SN74LV14AMDREP is available for military-grade requirements with extended temperature ranges. Verify pinout compatibility and package dimensions before substitution.
