The 74LCX04MTC is a low voltage hex inverter containing six independent inverters fabricated with advanced CMOS technology. It operates over a wide VCC range from 1.65V to 5.5V and features 5V tolerant inputs, which allows it to interface 5V systems to 3V systems. This device achieves high-speed performance with a maximum propagation delay of 5.2 ns at a 3.3V supply, while providing a robust output drive of ±24 mA at 3.0V. Additional features include power-down high impedance on inputs and outputs and ESD protection, making it suitable for various logic-level translation and signal inversion tasks.
