SN74LVC14ADRG4

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74LVC14ADRG4 is a hex inverter integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments, belonging to the 74LVC logic family. It features six independent Schmitt-trigger inverters housed in a 14-SOIC surface-mount package. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 1.65V to 3.6V and supports input voltages up to 5.5V, enabling direct interfacing with 5V peripherals. Key electrical specifications include a maximum propagation delay of 6.2ns at 3.3V with a 50pF load, output drive currents of ±24mA, and a maximum static current of 1µA. It is rated for industrial temperatures from -40°C to 85°C.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Integrates six independent Schmitt-trigger inverters for noise filtering and signal conditioning
• Provides 5.5V tolerant inputs allowing safe interface between 3.3V logic and 5V devices
• Delivers high output drive capability of ±24mA for robust signal transmission
• Operates across a wide supply voltage range from 1.65V to 3.6V

Inverter Gates Applications

• Signal conditioning for noisy digital environments requiring hysteresis
• Level shifting interfaces between 3.3V microcontrollers and 5V sensors or buses
• Clock signal generation and waveform shaping in embedded systems
• Pulse width modulation (PWM) signal processing

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'DRG4' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm RoHS compliance and lead-free status. Confirm that the 14-SOIC package dimensions match the design footprint requirements. Ensure the operating temperature range meets the application's environmental constraints before finalizing procurement.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when multiple inverted channels with Schmitt trigger functionality are required in a compact SOIC package. It is suitable for designs needing 5V tolerance on inputs while powered by lower voltages like 3.3V. Consider alternatives if higher drive currents or different package types such as TSSOP are preferred for space-constrained layouts.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the Texas Instruments SN74LVC14 series of hex Schmitt-trigger inverters. The 'A' variant typically denotes an improved version over the original LVC14, often featuring enhanced performance characteristics. The 'DRG4' suffix indicates a tape-and-reel packaging format compliant with RoHS standards, intended for automated surface-mount assembly processes.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

SN74LVC14ADR: Non-RoHS compliant version of the same device. SN74LVC14APWR: Alternative package type (TSSOP-14) with similar electrical characteristics.
