SN74LVC1404YEPR

Specialty Logic Overview

The SN74LVC1404YEPR is a single buffered inverter with Schmitt-trigger input, designed as a crystal oscillator driver. It supports 5-V VCC operation and accepts inputs up to 5.5 V. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 1.65 V to 5.5 V and an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. It is housed in an 8-DSBGA package.

Specialty Logic Feature Summary

• Single buffered inverter configuration optimized for crystal oscillator applications
• Schmitt-trigger input provides noise filtering and clean signal transitions
• Compatible with 5-V systems while accepting 5.5-V input voltages

Specialty Logic Applications

• Crystal oscillator driving
• Ceramic resonator driving
• Voltage level translation between microcontrollers and peripherals

Specialty Logic Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EPR' against the manufacturer's current product status, as some sources indicate this variant may be obsolete. Confirm the package type matches the required 8-DSBGA NanoFree footprint. Ensure the supplier provides valid datasheets confirming the Schmitt-trigger characteristics and voltage tolerances before procurement.

Specialty Logic Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel oscillator driver with Schmitt-trigger hysteresis is required. It is suitable for designs needing to drive crystals or ceramic resonators directly. Consider the 8-DSBGA package size constraints and the 1.65 V to 5.5 V supply range compatibility with the system logic levels.

Specialty Logic Part Context

This device belongs to the Texas Instruments 74LVC series of low-voltage CMOS logic. It is specifically categorized as a specialty logic component for clock generation and distribution. The part serves as a buffer/driver interface for timing elements in digital circuits.

Specialty Logic Replacement Considerations

Check for active equivalents in the same 74LVC family with identical pinouts and Schmitt-trigger inputs. Verify that any substitute maintains the 8-DSBGA package dimensions and the 5.5 V input tolerance specification.
