Technical Specifications

The TC7SZ17FE,LM(T features Schmitt-trigger inputs which provide a hysteresis voltage, typically around 0.5V, to improve noise immunity. The propagation delay is approximately 4 ns. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.65 V to 5.5 V. The output drive capability can handle standard CMOS loads. This device comes in a small surface-mount package (typically ESV), making it suitable for densely populated PCBs. The operating temperature range is typically -40°C to +85°C. The device exhibits very low quiescent current, contributing to its low power consumption. It complies with RoHS standards, making it environmentally friendly. Its design is optimized for applications requiring robust signal conditioning and low power usage.

This single Schmitt-trigger buffer is ideally suited for environments where signal integrity is crucial. The hysteresis characteristic of the Schmitt-trigger inputs ensures clean and reliable signal transitions, even when input signals are noisy or slowly changing. Its small size makes it perfect for portable devices or applications with limited board space. The low power consumption extends battery life in battery-powered applications. Specifically, it can be used to clean up noisy signals from sensors, buffer clock lines to prevent signal degradation, and drive long traces without signal distortion. This component is a valuable addition to any digital design where reliable signal transmission is paramount.
