SN74LV6T14PWR

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74LV6T14PWR is a hex Schmitt-trigger inverter with integrated voltage level translation, manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 1.6 V to 5.5 V and features balanced CMOS push-pull outputs. The device supports up-translation for lower voltage inputs (e.g., 1.2 V to 1.8 V) and down-translation for higher voltage inputs (e.g., 5.0 V to 3.3 V). It provides high noise immunity through Schmitt-trigger inputs and maintains 5.5-V tolerant input pins.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Integrated voltage level translation supporting both up-translation and down-translation across various standard CMOS levels.
• Schmitt-trigger inputs provide enhanced noise immunity and tolerance for slow or noisy signal transitions.
• Balanced CMOS push-pull outputs ensure similar sourcing and sinking current capabilities.

Inverter Gates Applications

• Synchronizing inverted clock inputs
• Debouncing mechanical switches
• Inverting digital signals

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'PWR' corresponds to the TSSOP-14 package and reel packaging configuration. Confirm that the component meets RoHS compliance requirements as specified in the manufacturer's documentation. Ensure the procurement channel provides valid traceability for production data.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when simultaneous inversion and voltage level shifting are required within a single logic gate. It is suitable for interfacing between different voltage domains, such as connecting low-voltage microcontrollers to 5-V legacy systems. Consider the thermal characteristics and output drive capabilities relative to the load capacitance.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74LV6T14 family of logic devices designed for versatile voltage translation applications. The PW suffix indicates a 14-pin Thin-Shrink Small-Outline Package (TSSOP), which is optimized for surface-mount assembly. It serves as a bridge between varying logic families requiring robust signal conditioning.

Inverter Gates FAQ

How does the device handle slow input signals?

The Schmitt-trigger architecture allows the device to tolerate slow input transition rates without causing excessive power consumption or oscillation, provided the signals remain within valid logic thresholds.

What is the maximum input voltage tolerance?

The input pins are designed to be 5.5-V tolerant, allowing them to accept signals up to 5.5 V even when the device is powered at lower voltages.
