74LVC2G17DW-7

The 74LVC2G17DW-7 is a dual-input buffer/driver in the 74LVC logic family. This logic family has been designed to operate at higher switching speeds with a low-voltage power supply, making it suitable for a variety of applications. Its low-voltage, low-power characteristics make it especially favorable in portable devices and other low-power applications.

The dual-input Non-Inverting Buffer/Driver is composed of two non-inverting Buffers. It is a symmetrical device, which means that its inputs and outputs feature a logic low level relative to VCC. This logic level is guaranteed for input voltages up to 0.5 volts, and output voltages up to 0.8 volts. This means that the device can directly interface with other logic families operating at different voltage levels. Furthermore, the device is capable of driving up to 16 loads each with a maximum voltage of 5.5 volts.

The 74LVC2G17DW-7 can be used in a variety of applications in the logic family, such as multiplexing and demultiplexing, tri-state logic, switching, and bus driving. In addition, it can be used as a level translator between two different logic families operating at different voltage levels. Its ability to drive higher currents makes it a suitable fit for driving large loads such as LEDs. This can be particularly useful in portable devices and automotive applications, as it can reduce the number of discrete components necessary.

In order to work properly, the 74LVC2G17DW-7 must be operated in a controlled logic environment. It requires a positive logic input and a common ground. This means that both input pins must be either low or high, with a logic low level relative to VCC. The device also has protection diodes, which are used to protect the inputs from overvoltage. The device has a propagation delay of 10 ns, so it is well-suited for high-speed applications.

The 74LVC2G17DW-7 is a versatile and capable device, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. Its low-voltage and low-power characteristics make it especially suitable for use in portable devices, while its high-speed switching capabilities and level-translation features make it well-suited for use in systems operating at different voltage levels. Its protection diodes and the ability to drive outputs make it suitable for use in multiplexers, switch designs, and bus driving applications.
