SN74LV6T14PWREP

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74LV6T14PWREP is a hex Schmitt-trigger inverter with integrated voltage translation, manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.6 V to 5.5 V and supports an input voltage up to 5.5 V. The device features balanced CMOS push-pull outputs capable of sourcing and sinking currents ranging from ±3 mA at 1.6 V to ±15 mA at 3.3 V to 5.0 V. Propagation delays vary between 5.8 ns and 46.7 ns depending on the supply voltage and load capacitance. It functions across a temperature range of -55 °C to +125 °C and utilizes a 14-pin TSSOP package.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Integrated LVxT level translation supporting both up-translation for lower voltage inputs and down-translation for higher voltage inputs.
• Schmitt-trigger inputs provide hysteresis to ensure noise immunity and stable switching for slow or noisy signals.
• Balanced CMOS push-pull outputs deliver symmetric drive capabilities for high-speed digital signal inversion.

Inverter Gates Applications

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

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'PWREP' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm the exact package type and environmental compliance status. Ensure that the required operating temperature range and supply voltage specifications align with the system design constraints before finalizing procurement.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when simultaneous signal inversion and voltage level translation are required within a single logic gate. The integrated Schmitt-trigger functionality makes it suitable for environments with significant electrical noise or slow signal transitions where standard inverters might oscillate.

Inverter Gates FAQ

How does the device handle voltage translation?

The device uses LVxT technology to support up-translation (e.g., 1.2V to 1.8V) via reduced input thresholds and down-translation (e.g., 5.0V to 3.3V) via 5.5V tolerant inputs.

What is the benefit of the Schmitt-trigger inputs?

The Schmitt-trigger architecture provides hysteresis, making the device highly tolerant to slow or noisy input signals and preventing output oscillation during transition periods.
