Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and RoHS compliance status directly with Texas Instruments or authorized distributors before procurement. Confirm that the SOIC-14 package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the selected component meets the required industrial temperature specifications for your application environment.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when multiple inverted signals with noise immunity are required. The SN74LV14DBR is suitable for applications needing Schmitt-trigger action to clean up slow-rising edges. Compare its 14 ns propagation delay against system timing constraints to ensure compatibility with target clock speeds.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74LV14A series of hex Schmitt-trigger inverters. It shares functional similarities with other LV logic family members but is distinct due to its specific inverting configuration and Schmitt-trigger input characteristics. The DBR suffix indicates the SOIC-14 surface-mount package variant.

Inverter Gates FAQ

What is the primary function of the Schmitt-trigger inputs?

The Schmitt-trigger inputs provide hysteresis, which filters out noise and ensures clean switching transitions even with slowly changing input signals.

Does the SN74LV14DBR support 3-state outputs?

No, the SN74LV14DBR provides standard CMOS outputs without a third high-impedance state control pin.
