Hex inverter with open-drain outputs

The 74LV05A is a hex inverter with open-drain outputs. The outputs are open-drain and can be connected to other open-drain outputs to implement active-LOW wired-OR or active-HIGH wired-AND functions.

Inputs are overvoltage tolerant. This feature allows the use of these devices as translators in mixed voltage environments.

Schmitt-trigger action at all inputs makes the circuit tolerant of slower input rise and fall times.

This device is fully specified for partial power down applications using IOFF. The IOFF circuitry disables the output, preventing the potentially damaging backflow current through the device when it is powered down.
