The IC component NC7SZ18P6X is a single buffer and inverter chip, which is part of the NC7SZ family of advanced high-speed CMOS logic components produced by Fairchild Semiconductor. This chip is primarily designed to handle low-voltage applications and is capable of operating at a voltage range of 1.65V to 5.5V.
One of the key features of the NC7SZ18P6X is its ability to act as a buffer or an inverter, depending on the configuration. It has one input pin, one output pin, and one enable pin, which allows the user to control the operation of the device. The enable pin provides the option to put the chip into a high-impedance state or maintain the output state, thereby adding flexibility to the overall system.
Additionally, this IC component offers excellent speed performance, allowing for high-frequency operation. The propagation delay is very low, typically around 2.5 nanoseconds, enabling fast signal processing capabilities. This makes it suitable for applications requiring quick response times and precise timing.
The NC7SZ18P6X is also designed with power-saving features, ensuring efficient power consumption. It has a low quiescent current and is built using CMOS technology, which helps minimize power requirements while maintaining performance.
Furthermore, this IC component has robust ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection mechanisms, providing enhanced reliability and stability
