1. General description

The 74LVC14A is a hex inverter with Schmitt-trigger inputs. Inputs can be driven from either 3.3 V

or 5 V devices. This feature allows the use of these devices as translators in mixed 3.3 V and 5 V

environments.

2. Features and benefits

• Wide supply voltage range from 1.2 V to 3.6 V

• Overvoltage tolerant inputs to 5.5 V

• CMOS low-power consumption

• Direct interface with TTL levels

• Unlimited input rise and fall times

• Complies with JEDEC standard JESD8-C/JESD36 (2.7 V to 3.6 V)

• ESD protection:

• HBM JESD22-A114F exceeds 2000 V

• MM JESD22-A115-B exceeds 200 V

• CDM JESD22-C101E exceeds 1000 V

• Multiple package options

• Specified from -40 °C to +85 °C and from -40 °C to +125 °C

3. Applications

• Wave and pulse shapers for highly noisy environments

• Astable multivibrators

• Monostable multivibrators
