3 Description

The SN74LV6T17-EP device contains six

independent Buffers with Schmitt-trigger inputs. Each

gate performs the Boolean function Y = A in positive

logic. The output level is referenced to the supply

voltage (VCC) and supports 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V

CMOS levels.

The input is designed with a lower threshold circuit to

support up translation for lower voltage CMOS inputs

(for example, 1.2V input to 1.8V output or 1.8V input

to 3.3V output). In addition, the 5V tolerant input pins

enable down translation (for example, 3.3V to 2.5V

output).
