The 74LVC14APW is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the 74LVC family of high-speed CMOS devices. It is a Hex Schmitt-Trigger inverter available in a TSSOP-14 package. This IC is designed to provide a wide range of voltage translation, signal conditioning, and digital logic functions.
Key Features:
1. Hex Inverter: The 74LVC14APW consists of six individual inverters on a single chip. Each inverter takes an input signal and provides the corresponding inverted output.
2. Schmitt-Trigger Input: The IC utilizes Schmitt-trigger inputs that allow for noise immunity and hysteresis. This ensures that the output transitions occur at different input levels, reducing the chances of false triggering in noisy environments.
3. High-Speed Operation: The 74LVC14APW operates at high-speed, with a propagation delay of only a few nanoseconds. This makes it suitable for applications that require fast signal processing or precise timing.
4. Wide Voltage Translation: This IC supports voltage translation functionality, allowing for interfacing between circuits operating at different voltage levels. It can handle input voltages ranging from 1.65V to 5.5V, making it compatible with various standard logic families like TTL, LVTTL, and CMOS
