Dual Schmitt buffer in a 6-pin US6 footprint
The TC7PZ17FU,LJ(CT is a dual non-inverting buffer with Schmitt-trigger inputs from Toshiba's TC7PZ series, packaged in a 6-TSSOP / SC-88 / SOT-363 footprint that maps to the supplier device package US6. It integrates two independent buffer elements, each handling a single bit, with push-pull outputs rated for 32 mA source and sink.
Supply range and output drive for mixed-voltage buses
The 32 mA symmetrical output drive at both high and low levels means it can directly switch the gate charge of a small MOSFET or drive a short unterminated trace without an external line driver — the output impedance is low enough to maintain signal integrity on short PCB stubs. The Schmitt-trigger input provides hysteresis that cleans up slow or noisy edges — a 50 mV/ns input ramp still produces a clean output transition. This matters when the buffer sits between a sensor with a long cable and a CMOS logic input that lacks its own hysteresis.
Active lifecycle and compliance posture
Listed as active in production with ROHS3 compliance. The laser etch on the package body should carry a legible Toshiba logo, the part marking, and a date-code that traces to the assembly plant — any sanded or re-marked surface is a red flag.
