ON Semiconductor 74LCX07M Low Voltage Hex Buffer

The ON Semiconductor 74LCX07M is a high-performance, low-voltage hex buffer that provides the perfect solution for interfacing 3.3V to 5V systems. This robust integrated circuit is designed with the modern electronic environment in mind, ensuring compatibility with the mixed-voltage system operation. It is a part of ON Semiconductor's LCX family, which is renowned for its low power consumption and high noise immunity, making it a reliable choice for a wide range of applications.

With six independent non-inverting buffers, the 74LCX07M offers great flexibility for a variety of circuit designs. Each buffer has an open drain output, enabling the possibility to perform wired-OR logic functions. This feature is particularly useful in applications where multiple outputs need to be connected to a single input without causing electrical interference.

The device is fabricated with an advanced CMOS technology to achieve high-speed operation while maintaining CMOS low power dissipation. The 74LCX07M is capable of sinking 24mA at both the 3.3V and 5V supply levels, thus delivering robust output performance for driving heavy loads. Additionally, the 5V tolerant inputs allow for direct interfacing with 5V TTL logic without the need for external components, simplifying design and reducing system cost.

Key features of the 74LCX07M include:

• Supply voltage range from 2.0V to 3.6V
• High noise immunity characteristic of LVCMOS technology
• Guaranteed output current up to 24mA
• 5V tolerant inputs for interfacing with TTL logic
• Supports live insertion and withdrawal (partial power-down)
• Low quiescent current
• ESD performance: Human-body model > 2000V, Machine model > 200V

The 74LCX07M is packaged in a compact SOIC-14 package, making it easy to integrate into various electronic assemblies. It is ideal for applications that require low-power operation without sacrificing performance, such as portable electronics, computing devices, and telecommunications systems.

Overall, the ON Semiconductor 74LCX07M is a versatile hex buffer that combines power efficiency with high drive capability, providing an excellent interface solution for mixed-voltage electronic systems.
