SN74LVC14AD

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74LVC14AD is a hex Schmitt-trigger inverter manufactured by Texas Instruments, belonging to the 74LVC logic family. It features six independent inverting channels with single inputs and push-pull outputs. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 1.65V to 3.6V. Key electrical specifications include a maximum static current of 1 µA, output drive currents of 24mA for both high and low states, and a maximum propagation delay of 6.2ns at 3.3V with a 50pF load. Logic thresholds are defined as 0.15V to 0.8V for low levels and 1.3V to 2V for high levels. It supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to 125°C and is available in surface-mount packages such as 14-TVSOP or 14-SOIC.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Integrates six independent Schmitt-trigger inverters for noise-immune signal conditioning
• Supports wide supply voltage operation from 1.65V to 3.6V
• Provides robust 24mA push-pull output drive capability
• Ensures stable switching performance through defined input hysteresis thresholds

Inverter Gates Applications

• Signal conditioning for noisy digital environments
• Waveform shaping and pulse generation
• Clock signal buffering and inversion
• Interface circuits requiring noise immunity

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., ADGVR, ADT) to confirm the exact package type and reel configuration required for your assembly process. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) during procurement. Ensure the selected variant matches the thermal and mechanical constraints of the target PCB layout.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when six inverted channels with Schmitt-trigger inputs are required in a low-voltage CMOS process. Compare against other LVC series variants if different package footprints or pin counts are needed. Verify that the 3.6V maximum supply voltage aligns with the system power rails and that the 24mA drive strength meets the load requirements.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the Texas Instruments SN74LVC14 family of hex Schmitt-trigger inverters. It shares functional characteristics with other members like SN74LVC14ADGVR and SN74LVC14ADT, differing primarily in packaging options such as TVSOP or SOIC. The LVC series is designed for low-voltage applications requiring high speed and noise tolerance.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible alternatives within the same LVC family. Verify that any substitute maintains the 1.65V-3.6V supply range and Schmitt-trigger input characteristics. Ensure the replacement package matches the existing footprint if no board redesign is planned.
