Product details
Overview
74LVQ14SJX from Fairchild Semiconductor is a low-voltage hex inverter IC with Schmitt-trigger inputs, designed for noise-immune signal conditioning in 3.3V digital systems. It provides six independent inverters, each featuring 1.0V typical hysteresis, 13.5ns max propagation delay at 3.3V, and guaranteed incident-wave switching into 75Ω transmission lines - used in clock buffering, waveform shaping, and interface level translation.
For engineers reviewing the 74LVQ14SJX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include Schmitt-trigger hysteresis (0.3–1.2V), VCC range (2.0–3.6V), output drive (±12mA), AC skew performance (≤1.5ns), and SOP-14 package compatibility with JEDEC-standard PCB footprints.
Technical Context
The 74LVQ14SJX implements six independent CMOS inverter stages, each with internally biased Schmitt-trigger input circuitry that establishes distinct positive-going (Vt+ = 2.2V typ) and negative-going (Vt− = 0.5V typ) thresholds. This architecture enables clean edge regeneration of slow-rising or noisy signals without external RC components.
Its AC performance is characterized by tightly controlled propagation delays (tPLH/tPHL ≤15.0ns at 3.3V, CL = 50pF) and output-to-output skew ≤1.5ns, ensuring deterministic timing across all six channels under simultaneous switching conditions - critical for synchronized signal routing in industrial control and data acquisition interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.0V to 3.6V - supports direct interfacing with 3.3V LVTTL and LVCMOS logic families without level shifters |
| Hysteresis (Vh) | 0.3V min / 1.2V max - ensures ≥1.0V noise margin against ground bounce and crosstalk on shared PCB traces |
| Propagation Delay | 15.0ns max (tPHL/tPLH, VCC = 3.3V, CL = 50pF) - enables reliable operation up to ~33MHz fundamental frequency |
| Output Drive | ±12mA - sufficient to drive 50pF loads or terminate 75Ω transmission lines without external buffers |
| Input Thresholds | Vt+ = 2.2V typ, Vt− = 0.5V typ - defines precise switching windows for analog-like signal digitization |
| Quiescent ICC | 20.0µA max - maintains ultra-low static power in battery-backed or always-on monitoring circuits |
Pinout & Package
74LVQ14SJX is housed in a 14-lead Small Outline Package (SOP), EIAJ TYPE II, 5.3mm wide (Package Number M14D), with standard 1.27mm pitch and gull-wing leads compatible with reflow soldering.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Power-up/reset signal conditioner - ensures monotonic, glitch-free assertion/deassertion of active-low reset lines. Use Value: Guarantees minimum reset pulse width compliance (≥100ns) even with sub-millisecond button press jitter; quiescent current <20µA extends battery life in sleep-mode applications. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex inverter with Schmitt-trigger input applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LV14APW | TI part; same VCC range (2.0–5.5V), but wider hysteresis (0.4–1.6V typ), higher ICC (40µA max), and SOIC-14 only | Supports 5V-tolerant inputs; less suitable for strict 3.3V-only designs requiring minimal ICC | Choose if 5V interface compatibility or TI ecosystem alignment is required |
| 74LVC14AD,118 | Nexperia part; identical SOP-14 package, lower propagation delay (10.5ns max), but narrower hysteresis (0.2–0.9V) and no guaranteed 75Ω incident-wave switching | Better speed for high-frequency clock distribution, but reduced noise immunity in EMI-heavy environments | Choose for timing-critical applications where jitter suppression is secondary to propagation delay |
Compared with SN74LV14APW and 74LVC14AD,118, the 74LVQ14SJX uniquely guarantees incident-wave switching into 75Ω lines and offers tighter skew control (≤1.5ns), making it preferred for high-integrity signal conditioning in industrial communications and sensor front-ends where transmission-line effects dominate.

FAQ
What is the supply voltage range supported by the 74LVQ14SJX?
The 74LVQ14SJX operates over a VCC range of 2.0V to 3.6V, optimized for 3.3V systems. Operation outside this range is not guaranteed, and absolute maximum ratings limit VCC to −0.5V to +7.0V only for non-operational stress conditions. The 74LVQ14SJX must be powered within 2.0–3.6V to meet all AC and DC specifications including propagation delay, hysteresis, and output drive strength.
Does the 74LVQ14SJX have true Schmitt-trigger inputs, and what is the typical hysteresis value?
Yes, the 74LVQ14SJX features true Schmitt-trigger inputs with internally set thresholds. At VCC = 3.0V, the typical positive-going threshold (Vt+) is 2.2V and the negative-going threshold (Vt−) is 0.5V, yielding 1.7V nominal hysteresis - though the guaranteed range is 0.3V to 1.2V. This hysteresis is stable across temperature and supply voltage, enabling reliable noise rejection in electrically noisy environments.
Can the 74LVQ14SJX drive a 75Ω transmission line directly?
Yes, the 74LVQ14SJX is explicitly guaranteed for incident-wave switching into 75Ω transmission lines across the commercial temperature range, per datasheet Note 5. This capability allows direct connection to coaxial cables or controlled-impedance PCB traces without external series termination resistors - a key differentiator versus standard inverters like the 74LV14.
What is the maximum propagation delay for the 74LVQ14SJX at 3.3V?
The maximum propagation delay for the 74LVQ14SJX is 15.0ns for both tPLH and tPHL when VCC = 3.3V ± 0.3V, CL = 50pF, and TA = −40°C to +85°C. This value is measured under worst-case process, voltage, and temperature conditions and ensures timing predictability in real-world industrial deployments.
Is the 74LVQ14SJX pin-compatible with other 74-series hex inverters in SOP-14 packages?
The 74LVQ14SJX uses standard 14-pin SOP pinout (M14D) matching industry conventions for hex inverters: inputs on pins 1,3,5,9,11,13 and outputs on 2,4,6,10,12,14, with VCC on pin 14 and GND on pin 7. While functionally compatible with 74LV14 and 74LVC14 variants, the 74LVQ14SJX is not a drop-in replacement due to its unique Schmitt-trigger hysteresis profile and guaranteed 75Ω line driving - verify timing and noise requirements before substitution.
