The SN74LV14ADBR from Texas Instruments is a high-performance, hex inverter Schmitt-trigger device designed to operate from a 2 V to 5.5 V VCC supply. It belongs to the 74LV family, which is characterized by low-voltage operation and low power consumption, making it ideal for battery-operated and portable applications.

Key Features

• Logic Type: Hex Schmitt-Trigger Inverter
• Supply Voltage (VCC): 2 V to 5.5 V
• High-Level Output Current: -4 mA
• Low-Level Output Current: 8 mA
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 85°C
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Package / Case: SSOP-14 (DBR)

The SN74LV14ADBR is designed for applications that require slow input transitions to be filtered to the output without any glitches. The Schmitt-trigger action at all inputs makes the circuit tolerant to slower input rise and fall times, which is beneficial in environments with heavy noise where the input signals may not be clean.

Applications

Its robust design and capability to handle 5.5 V make it suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

• Wave shaping and noise filtering
• Signal processing
• Square wave and pulse generation
• Interface circuits
• Portable electronics
• Control systems

The device's small footprint and low power consumption are beneficial for compact and power-sensitive designs. Additionally, the SN74LV14ADBR's enhanced product features, such as latch-up performance that exceeds 250 mA per JESD 17, and ESD protection exceeding JESD 22, ensure a reliable operation in a variety of electronic circuits.

Quality and Reliability

Texas Instruments is known for its commitment to quality, and the SN74LV14ADBR is no exception. It is manufactured to the highest standards to ensure consistent performance and reliability.
