SN74LV06APWR

The SN74LV06APWR is TI’s low-voltage, hex inverter with open-drain outputs (six independent inverting buffers) in the SN74LV06A family.
Key points:
- Six inverting buffers with open-drain outputs. Outputs must be pulled up externally to define a high level.
- Supply and inputs: LV CMOS family (typical Vcc 1.65–3.6 V); inputs CMOS-compatible.
- Open-drain outputs enable wired-OR/wired-AND configurations and easy level shifting by choosing the pull-up voltage.
- Good for bus interfacing, level translation between domains, and simple logic buffering without totem-pole contention.
- Characteristics: low power, fast CMOS performance, ESD protection; typical 14-pin package (one device, six channels).
- Usage notes: provide appropriate pull-up resistors on each output; ensure pull-ups do not exceed Vcc and stay within device limits; suitable for fan-out and multi-drop bus applications but not for driving large loads directly.
Applications: signal buffering and inversion for microcontroller interfaces, bus drivers, and simple level-shifting networks where open-drain outputs are advantageous.

Here are the key features of the SN74LV06APWR:
- Hex inverter buffer/driver with open-drain outputs (six independent channels)
- Open-drain outputs require external pull-up resistors (allows wired-OR)
- Wide operating voltage range (LV family: supports low-voltage operation; typically 1.65–5.5 V)
- CMOS/TTL-friendly inputs; low static power
- Fast switching suitable for general logic buffering and level shifting
- Thermal and mechanical advantages with PowerPAD/thermally enhanced package (APWR variant)
- 14-pin package with standard TI naming; RoHS-compliant lead-free version
Note: Outputs are open-drain and sink current only; proper pull-ups determine the high level.

14-pin Small Outline package (SOIC-14), Pb-free/RoHS-compliant.

- Pin count: 14 pins (DIP/SOIC/TSSOP packages)
- Function: SN74LV06APWR is a hex inverter buffer/driver with open-collector outputs (six independent inverting buffers). Outputs are open-collector and require pull-up resistors; can sink current but not source.

Manufacturer: Texas Instruments (TI).
