The Nexperia 74LVC06APW,118 is a hex inverter with open-drain outputs supplied in a 14-pin TSSOP package. It provides six independent inverting channels whose outputs are open-drain, so each output must be tied to an external pull-up resistor to define the high level. Because the open-drain structure decouples the output high level from the device supply, the 74LVC06APW,118 is commonly used for voltage-level translation and for wired-OR signalling. The part is supplied on tape and reel, is RoHS compliant, and is in active production at Nexperia.

The 74LVC06APW,118 is used wherever a logic signal must be inverted and driven onto a shared or differently-referenced rail. The open-drain outputs make it a straightforward choice for level shifting between two supply domains, for driving wired-OR interrupt and status lines where several devices share one node, and for interfacing to open-drain buses. Designers of industrial control boards, computing and networking hardware, and general embedded systems use hex inverters like this one as glue logic between a microcontroller and surrounding peripherals. The 14-pin TSSOP footprint and tape-and-reel packaging suit automated assembly of high-volume boards.
