SN74LV6T17BQAR

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74LV6T17BQAR is a hex Schmitt-trigger buffer with integrated voltage level translation, manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates on a single power supply ranging from 1.6 V to 5.5 V and supports standard CMOS logic levels including 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V. The device features 5.5-V tolerant input pins and provides 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 is housed in a 14-pin WQFN package.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated voltage level translation supporting both up-translation and down-translation between various CMOS logic families.
• Schmitt-trigger inputs provide high noise immunity and tolerance for slow or noisy signal transitions.
• Balanced CMOS push-pull outputs capable of driving larger currents than the device can sustain without damage.

• Translation between communication modules and system controllers
• Enabling or disabling digital signals
• Controlling indicator LEDs

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix BQA corresponds to the WQFN-14 package configuration required for your design. Confirm that the component meets RoHS compliance standards as specified in the manufacturer's documentation. Ensure that the thermal pad connection guidelines are followed during assembly to maintain device reliability and performance.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when mixed-mode voltage translation is required within a single-supply system. It is suitable for applications needing robust signal buffering with Schmitt-trigger noise rejection. Consider the 5.5-V input tolerance if interfacing with higher voltage domains while operating at lower supply voltages.
