SN74LV6T17QPWRQ1

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SN74LV6T17-Q1 is an automotive-grade hex Schmitt-trigger buffer with integrated voltage level translation. It operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 1.8 V to 5.5 V and supports CMOS levels of 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V. The device features 5.5-V tolerant input pins for down-translation and reduced input thresholds for up-translation. It provides balanced push-pull outputs and meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 standards for operation between -40°C and +125°C.

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

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package variant (BQA WQFN or PW TSSOP) required for the design, as thermal characteristics differ significantly between them. Confirm that the ordering suffix matches the intended reel or cut-tape configuration. Ensure the component version aligns with the latest datasheet revision SCLS933 dated June 2023 to guarantee accurate electrical specifications.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing interfaces requiring bidirectional voltage translation between disparate logic families without external components. The integrated Schmitt triggers are suitable for noisy environments or long trace lengths where signal integrity is critical. Verify that the load capacitance does not exceed 50 pF to maintain specified switching performance and timing margins.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74LV6T17-Q1 family of automotive logic devices. It is distinct from non-automotive variants by its qualification to AEC-Q100 standards. The device functions as a unidirectional buffer with translation capabilities, differentiating it from standard buffers like the SN74LV1G17 which lack the LVxT translation features.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers FAQ

How does the device handle unused inputs?

Unused inputs must be terminated to either VCC or ground. They can be directly terminated if completely unused or connected via a pull-up/pull-down resistor if occasionally used.

What is the maximum recommended load capacitance?

The device can drive a load with a total capacitance less than or equal to 50 pF while meeting all data sheet specifications.
