STMicroelectronics 74LVX14TTR Hex Schmitt Inverter

The 74LVX14TTR from STMicroelectronics is a high-speed Si-gate CMOS device that is part of the LVX family. This product is a hex inverter featuring Schmitt-trigger inputs, designed to be used in applications where noise immunity is critical. It is ideal for wave and pulse shapers, astable multivibrators, and circuit applications that benefit from input hysteresis.

The device is characterized for operation from -40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for industrial temperature ranges. Each inverter in the 74LVX14TTR has a Schmitt trigger action on the input, which allows for slow input transition and better noise immunity during operation. The threshold levels of the Schmitt trigger vary depending on the logic level on the output, providing a hysteresis effect that is extremely useful in noisy environments.

Key features of the 74LVX14TTR include:

• High-speed performance: The device operates at a voltage range of 2.7V to 3.6V, providing high-speed performance that is typical of modern CMOS devices.
• Low power dissipation: With a low power consumption, it is an excellent choice for battery-operated and low-power applications.
• Power-down protection: Inputs and outputs on the 74LVX14TTR provide protection when the device is powered down, ensuring no excess current is drawn from or supplied to the device.
• Multiple package options: The device is available in a TSSOP package, making it suitable for surface mount technology (SMT) and offering flexibility in PCB design.
• Lead-free and RoHS compliant: The 74LVX14TTR adheres to environmental standards, ensuring compliance with global regulations for electronic components.

With its robust design and enhanced noise immunity, the STMicroelectronics 74LVX14TTR is a reliable choice for designers who require a logic level inverter that can withstand the rigors of industrial and noise-prone applications.
