74LCX06MX Hex Inverter | Open-Drain Outputs | Low-Voltage CMOS (LVCMOS)

Description

The 74LCX06MX is a high-performance, low-voltage CMOS hex inverter featuring open-drain outputs. This device contains six independent inverters that take a logic signal and output its inverse. Because the outputs are open-drain, they do not provide a high-voltage drive directly; instead, they require an external pull-up resistor to reach a desired HIGH logic level.

The “LCX” (Low-Voltage CMOS) series is designed for 3.3V systems and features 5V-tolerant inputs, making it an excellent choice for interfacing different logic voltage domains. It is widely used in applications where signal inversion must be combined with level shifting or wired-OR logic functionality.
