General Description
• The SN74LVC14APWR is a hex inverter buffer/line driver with Schmitt-trigger inputs. It is designed to provide buffering and inversion of logic signals in a variety of digital applications.
Input Characteristics
• Schmitt-Trigger Inputs: The Schmitt-trigger inputs of the SN74LVC14APWR are capable of accepting a wide range of input voltages. They exhibit hysteresis, which helps to improve noise immunity and reduce the likelihood of false triggering due to electrical noise or signal fluctuations. This makes the chip suitable for use in noisy electrical environments.
Output Characteristics
• Inverting Function: Each of the six channels in the SN74LVC14APWR performs an inversion operation. That is, if the input is a high logic level, the output will be a low logic level, and vice versa.
• Buffering and Driving Capability: The chip is capable of driving significant capacitive and resistive loads, making it suitable for use in applications where the output signal needs to drive other logic gates, flip-flops, or other digital components over relatively long distances or through multiple interconnected stages.
Power Supply and Operating Conditions
• Wide Power Supply Range: The SN74LVC14APWR can operate over a relatively wide power supply voltage range, typically from 1.65 V to 5.5 V. This allows it to be used in a variety of systems with different power supply requirements.
• Low Power Consumption: It is designed to consume relatively low power, making it suitable for battery-powered applications and other systems where power efficiency is a concern.
Applications
• Logic Signal Inversion and Buffering: It is widely used in digital circuits to invert and buffer logic signals, ensuring that the signals are properly shaped and amplified for further processing in the circuit.
• Bus Interface Circuits: In bus systems, the SN74LVC14APWR can be used to drive bus lines, providing the necessary signal strength and inversion to ensure reliable communication between different components on the bus.
• Memory Interface Circuits: It can be used in memory systems to buffer and invert address and control signals, facilitating proper communication between the memory and other parts of the system.
