SN74LVC14ADG4

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74LVC14ADG4 is a hex Schmitt-trigger inverter manufactured by Texas Instruments, belonging to the 74LVC logic family. It features six independent inverters with Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise filtering and clean signal transitions. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 1.65V to 3.6V, ensuring compatibility with low-voltage digital systems. It utilizes a 14-pin TSSOP surface-mount package, suitable for space-constrained designs. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum static current of 1 µA and output drive capabilities of 24mA for both high and low states. Propagation delay is specified at 6.2ns @ 3.3V with 50pF load.

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'DG4' indicates lead-free composition and RoHS compliance during sourcing. Confirm the package type matches the required PCB footprint, as variations exist within the LVC14 family. Ensure the supplier provides official datasheets referencing the SN74LVC14Ax Logic Guide for accurate timing parameters. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number against authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when multiple inverted outputs are required with noise immunity in low-voltage applications. Compare propagation delays and supply voltage ranges against other LVC series variants if higher speed or wider voltage tolerance is needed. Consider the TSSOP package dimensions for thermal management and board space constraints relative to SOIC alternatives.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the Texas Instruments 74LVC (Low Voltage CMOS) family, which offers high-speed performance with low power consumption. The LVC14 series specifically integrates Schmitt triggers into standard inverter functions. It serves as a modern replacement for older TTL-based inverters like the SN7414, offering improved noise margins and lower operating voltages while maintaining similar functional pinouts.
