SN74LV14APWT

The SN74LV14APWT is a part of the Texas Instruments CMOS range of products and is a single gate buffer useful in both high speed and low power applications. It is a 3-state device, meaning that it can be used to control the output of a single signal between an active high or low state, or the inactive \'high impedance\' state. This particular SN74LV14APWT is a \'P\' version, meaning it has an open drain output structure, and is also \'W\' version, meaning it is a wide temperature product.

The SN74LV14APWT is typically used in applications such as bus switching, bus buffering and data routing. It is two data input buffers, meaning that the two signals can be used together in order to produce a desired output. It is also useful in applications such as level translation, where it can be used to convert between high and low voltage levels.

The SN74LV14APWT has a maximum guaranteed operating voltage of 4.5V, compared to the previous LV14APW version having a maximum operating voltage of 6V. This makes it a handy device when power consumption needs to be kept to a minimum. It also has higher input levels in comparison to other SN74LV14APWTs, which makes it more suitable for interfacing between wider voltage levels.

The SN74LV14APWT works as a single inverting buffer, meaning that it takes a logic low input and produces a logic high output. This is useful when the output needs to be inverted from what the input is. The SN74LV14APWT can also be used as a single non-inverting buffer, which takes a logic low input and produces a logic low output. The SN74LV14APWT can also be used in conjunction with an enable input so that the SN74LV14APWT can function as a 3-state device.

The SN74LV14APWT has low noise characteristics and is designed to ensure proper operation with inputs of as low as 0.8V. This makes it a great choice for high speed applications where noise is an issue. Additionally, it is equipped with an output enable input which allows the output to be disabled when necessary. This is useful for power saving applications.

In summary, the SN74LV14APWT is a single gate buffer for high speed and low power applications. It is capable of inverting and non-inverting inputs, making it a very versatile device. It has an open drain output structure and is a wide temperature product. It has low noise characteristics, making it suitable for high speed applications and it is also equipped with an output enable input. All of these features make it an excellent choice for a variety of applications.
