SN74LV6T17PWREP

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74LV6T17PWREP is an enhanced product hex Schmitt-trigger buffer with integrated voltage level translation. It operates on a single supply from 1.6V to 5.5V and supports up-translation from lower voltages (e.g., 1.2V, 1.8V) and down-translation from higher levels (e.g., 3.3V, 5.0V). The device features 5.5V tolerant inputs, balanced CMOS push-pull outputs, and latch-up performance exceeding 250mA per JESD 17. It functions in temperatures ranging from -55°C to 125°C.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated voltage level translation supporting both up-translation for low-voltage inputs and down-translation for high-voltage inputs.
• Schmitt-trigger inputs provide hysteresis to ensure clean signal transitions despite slow or noisy input signals.
• Balanced CMOS push-pull outputs capable of driving significant currents while maintaining stable logic levels.

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

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific 'EP' suffix indicates Enhanced Product status, which may involve distinct reliability standards compared to standard commercial variants. Confirm that the PW package designation corresponds to the TSSOP-14 form factor required for your PCB layout. Ensure the component meets all environmental specifications for your intended operating temperature range.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when bidirectional level shifting is required within a single supply domain. The LVxT architecture allows interfacing with various CMOS logic families without external biasing networks. Consider the thermal resistance metrics if driving heavy capacitive loads at high frequencies to ensure junction temperatures remain within safe limits.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74LV6T17-EP family, designed for robust signal integrity in mixed-voltage systems. The enhanced product designation typically implies stricter manufacturing controls and reliability testing suitable for demanding environments. It serves as a bridge between disparate voltage domains using a unified power rail.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Standard SN74LV6T17PWR is functionally similar but lacks the EP reliability enhancements. Verify pinout compatibility before substitution. No other direct substitutes are confirmed in public documentation.
