TC7PZ14FU,LJ(CT

Inverter Gates Overview

The TC7PZ14FU,LJ(CT is a dual Schmitt inverter from Toshiba's CMOS digital integrated circuit family. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.65 V to 5.5 V and features 5.5 V tolerant inputs with power-down protection outputs. The device provides high output current capability of ±24 mA minimum at 3.0 V. Typical propagation delay is 3.7 ns at 5.0 V with 50 pF load. Operating temperature ranges from -40°C to 85°C for the LJ(CT suffix, while other variants support up to 125°C.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Dual Schmitt trigger configuration for noise immunity
• Wide operating voltage range supporting low-power applications
• High output drive capability for direct interface loads
• Power-down protection prevents leakage during standby

Inverter Gates Applications

• Signal conditioning for noisy digital lines
• Waveform shaping in communication interfaces
• Level translation between different logic families
• Clock signal buffering in automotive electronics

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the ordering suffix matches the required temperature grade. The J(CT) suffix specifies an operating range of -40°C to 85°C. Non-J(CT) variants support extended temperatures up to 125°C. Confirm package type US6 (SOT-363) availability. Check AEC-Q100 compliance requirements if automotive qualification is necessary. Ensure input pins are tied to valid logic levels to prevent undefined states.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when dual inversion with hysteresis is required in a compact surface-mount package. Compare propagation delays against system timing constraints at specific supply voltages. Evaluate output current needs against the ±24 mA minimum rating. Consider the extended temperature option if ambient conditions exceed 85°C. Verify input voltage tolerance matches the driving source levels.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to Toshiba's TC7PZ series of ultra-small CMOS logic devices. It complements single-gate inverters like the TC7PZ04 by providing two independent channels in one package. The US6 package offers space savings compared to standard SSOP options. It serves as a robust solution for signal integrity improvement in portable and automotive designs where noise susceptibility is a concern.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other dual Schmitt inverters in SOT-363 packages such as the SN74LVC1G14 or NC7SZ14 variants. Ensure replacement parts match the 1.65V to 5.5V supply range and output current specifications. Verify pin compatibility and package dimensions before substitution. Check if the alternative meets the same AEC-Q100 reliability standards if used in automotive contexts.
