The 74LVC1GU04GN is a single channel, inverted, CMOS Non-Inverting buffer/line driver from NXP. It is used in applications that require the signal to be inverted, for example for differential signaling, where the source is a signal that needs to be inverted before being sent out on the line. The device has an output enable signal, which can be used to enable or disable the output signal, providing an additional layer of signal conditioning. The device is designed to operate from a single 1.8 V to 5.5 V supply, and has protected inputs against static discharge and current surge. It is available in small packages, such as SOIC8, for easy system integration.
