# SN74LVC3G14DCTR Product Series Introduction

## 1. Overview
The SN74LVC3G14DCTR belongs to Texas Instruments' SN74LVC3G series of integrated circuits. It is a triple inverter gate device designed with low - voltage complementary metal - oxide - semiconductor (CMOS) technology. This product is engineered to meet the requirements of modern digital systems, offering high - performance logic functions in a compact and efficient package.

## 2. Key Features

### 2.1 Low - Voltage Operation
- The SN74LVC3G14DCTR is optimized for low - voltage operation, typically operating within a supply voltage range of 1.65V to 5.5V. This wide voltage range makes it highly versatile and suitable for use in a variety of applications, including battery - powered devices where power efficiency is crucial. For example, in portable consumer electronics such as smartwatches or wireless earbuds, the ability to operate at lower voltages helps to extend battery life.

### 2.2 High - Speed Performance
- It provides high - speed signal propagation, with typical propagation delays in the range of a few nanoseconds. This fast switching speed enables the device to handle high - frequency digital signals, making it ideal for applications that require rapid data processing, such as high - speed communication interfaces and clock distribution circuits.

### 2.3 Low Power Consumption
- Thanks to its advanced CMOS technology, the SN74LVC3G14DCTR consumes very low power. In standby mode, the quiescent current is extremely low, which is beneficial for reducing overall power consumption in the system. This is especially important in battery - operated devices where minimizing power usage is a top priority.

### 2.4 Compatibility
- The device is compatible with both TTL (Transistor - Transistor Logic) and CMOS logic levels. This compatibility allows it to interface easily with a wide range of other digital components, simplifying the design process of complex digital systems. For instance, it can be used to interface between different types of microcontrollers and peripheral devices.

### 2.5 ESD Protection
- The SN74LVC3G14DCTR is equipped with electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection on all inputs and outputs. This protection helps to safeguard the device from damage caused by static electricity, which is a common issue in electronic manufacturing and handling environments. It enhances the reliability and durability of the product, reducing the risk of premature failure.

## 3. Package and Pin Configuration

### 3.1 Package Type
- The SN74LVC3G14DCTR comes in a small - outline no - lead (SON) package, specifically the DCTR package. This package offers several advantages, including a small footprint, which is beneficial for space - constrained applications. The SON package also provides good thermal performance, allowing the device to dissipate heat effectively during operation.

### 3.2 Pin Configuration
- The device has a total of 8 pins. Each of the three inverters has an input and an output pin, and there are also pins for power supply (VCC) and ground (GND). The clear and well - defined pin configuration makes it easy to integrate the device into a printed circuit board (PCB) design.

## 4. Functional Description

### 4.1 Inverter Function
- The core function of the SN74LVC3G14DCTR is to invert the input logic level. That is, if the input is a logic high (1), the output will be a logic low (0), and vice versa. This basic logic function is fundamental in digital circuits and is used in a wide variety of applications, such as signal conditioning, level shifting, and
