Sourcing this part now goes through independent distribution, where availability is limited to existing stock. For a production BOM, a replacement part should be qualified.
This is a single-channel, non-inverting buffer from the 74LVC logic family. The open-drain output can sink up to 32mA, making it useful for level translation, driving LEDs, or wired-OR bus connections. The wide supply range from 1.65V to 5.5V allows it to interface between different voltage domains without an external level shifter.
5-DSBGA package — layout considerations
The part comes in a 5-bump DSBGA (1.4mm x 0.9mm) package. This ultra-small footprint saves board space but demands careful PCB layout — the solder pads are small and require precise stencil aperture design.
