Texas Instruments Hex Schmitt Trigger Inverter, 14-Pin TSSOP

The Texas Instruments SN74LVC14APWR is a highly integrated hex Schmitt-trigger inverter designed for modern digital logic applications. This device contains six independent inverter circuits within a single 14-pin TSSOP package, each performing the standard Boolean logic function Y = Ā. A key feature is its compatibility with mixed-voltage systems, as inputs can be safely driven from either 3.3V or 5V logic devices, making it an ideal choice for level translation in environments where multiple supply voltages coexist.

Engineered for robust performance, this logic IC offers superior noise immunity and signal conditioning thanks to its integrated Schmitt-trigger inputs. It boasts impressive electrical characteristics, including a typical low-voltage output ground bounce (VOLP) of less than 0.8V and a typical output VOH undershoot (VOHV) greater than 2.3V when operating at a 3.3V supply. The inputs are tolerant to voltages up to 5.5V, providing an added safety margin. Furthermore, the device includes enhanced protection features, with ESD protection exceeding JESD 22 standards and latch-up performance that surpasses 100mA per JESD 78, Class II specifications.

With a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to 125°C and a supply voltage range from 2V to 3.6V, this component is suited for demanding industrial and commercial applications. Its compact TSSOP case style offers a space-saving footprint for high-density PCB designs, while maintaining a capable output current drive of 24mA. The SN74LVC14APWR delivers reliable, high-speed inversion and signal shaping critical for stable system operation.
