Onsemi NL37WZ17USG Environmental and export classification status description

The NL37WZ17USG is a dual-input Schmitt-trigger buffer/driver designed for high-speed digital applications. It is part of the ON Semiconductor's family of logic devices and is built using advanced CMOS technology. The Schmitt-trigger input provides hysteresis and makes the device suitable for applications involving slowly changing signals. Functions - Buffering: The main function is to provide buffering for digital logic signals, ensuring signal integrity and driving capability. - Schmitt-trigger Input: It features Schmitt-trigger behavior which helps in clean switching, preventing false triggering of the output due to noise on input signals. - Dual Inputs: The device contains two independent Schmitt-trigger buffers, making it suitable for various applications where multiple signals need to be processed. Applications - Signal Conditioning: Ideal for interfacing between slow signal sources and high-speed digital systems. - Level Shifting: Can be used to adapt signals between different voltage levels in mixed-voltage systems. - Timing Applications: Suitable for timing circuits due to its noise immunity and clean edge transitions. - Logic Level Restoration: It can be used in applications where it is necessary to restore degraded logic levels to full voltage, improving system reliability. Alternative Parts - 74HC14: A standard Schmitt-trigger inverter that can serve similar functions but is not specified for CMOS limits. - SN74LVC1G17: Another alternative with single buffer functionality but different input characteristics. - MC74HC14A: A high-speed CMOS Schmitt-trigger inverter that can also be considered depending on logic design requirements. Embedded Modules While there are no specific “embedded modules” associated with the NL37WZ17USG, it can be incorporated into larger systems where integrated circuits or microcontrollers are used for signal processing tasks. It may often be included in PCB designs that require shielding against signal noise or enhancement of slow signal transitions. Related Q&A 1. Q: What is the main function of the NL37WZ17USG?
