SN74LV6T07BQAR

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74LV6T07BQAR is a hex open-drain buffer with integrated voltage level translation, housed in a 14-pin WQFN package. It operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 1.65 V to 5.5 V. The device features LVxT enhanced inputs that support up-translation from lower voltage CMOS levels (e.g., 1.2 V) and down-translation via 5.5-V tolerant input pins. It provides over 6.67-Mbps operation under specific load conditions and includes latch-up performance exceeding 250 mA per JESD 17.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated voltage level translation capability for both up-conversion and down-conversion between different logic families
• Open-drain outputs requiring external pull-up resistors to drive high states, allowing flexible voltage interfacing
• LVxT enhanced inputs designed with reduced thresholds to support low-voltage CMOS inputs while maintaining 5.5-V tolerance

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Translation between communication modules and system controllers
• Enabling or disabling digital signals across different voltage domains
• Controlling indicator LEDs driven by low-voltage sources

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the BQA suffix confirms the WQFN-14 package configuration during procurement. Ensure the component meets automotive qualification requirements if the application demands it, as standard versions may differ from Q1 variants. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official datasheets before finalizing orders.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when bidirectional level shifting is required within a single power rail environment. The open-drain architecture necessitates careful selection of external pull-up resistor values based on desired rise times and capacitive loads. Ensure input transition rates comply with specifications to prevent excessive power consumption.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to Texas Instruments' LVxT family of logic devices, which are optimized for low-voltage applications. The SN74LV6T07 specifically addresses the need for seamless integration between legacy 5-V systems and modern low-voltage microcontrollers without requiring dual power supplies for translation.
