SN74LVCU04APWT

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74LVCU04APWT is a hex inverter integrated circuit from Texas Instruments, designed for operation within a supply voltage range of 1.65 V to 3.6 V. It features six independent inverters with unbuffered outputs and accepts input voltages up to 5.5 V. The device exhibits a maximum propagation delay (tpd) of 3.8 ns and offers typical output ground bounce (VOLP) performance. It is housed in a 14-TSSOP package and supports industrial temperature ranges.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Contains six independent inverter channels
• Accepts 5.5 V tolerant inputs while operating at lower supply voltages
• Unbuffered output configuration

Inverter Gates Applications

• General-purpose digital signal inversion
• Clock signal buffering and inversion
• Logic level translation interfaces

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PWT' corresponds to the 14-TSSOP package and tape-and-reel shipping format. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation. Ensure the design accounts for the 5.5 V input tolerance relative to the 3.6 V maximum supply voltage. Check for any recent product change notifications affecting pinout or electrical characteristics.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density hex inverter solution is required in a small outline package. The 5.5 V input tolerance allows interfacing with higher voltage logic domains without additional level shifters. Consider the unbuffered output nature for applications where drive strength is not critical. Verify thermal dissipation requirements for the TSSOP-14 package in enclosed environments.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74LVCU04A family of hex inverters. It shares functional similarities with other LVC series devices but is distinguished by its specific packaging and channel count. The 'U' designation typically indicates unbuffered outputs, differentiating it from buffered variants like the SN74LVC04A.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include SN74LVCU04APWR and SN74LVCU04APWRE4, which share identical logical functions and pinouts. Verify package compatibility and lead availability before substitution.
