SCLS790C January 2020 – October 2026 SN74HCS11
PRODUCTION DATA
The SN74HCS11 includes three 3-input AND gates with Schmitt-trigger inputs. These 3-input AND gates work independently, but can be combined to get up to a 7-input AND gate. Use the device with all three inputs active, or disable one input by directly connecting them to VCC to turn the device into a 2-input AND gate.
The SN74HCS11 is used to control the RESET pin of a motor controller. This system requires three input signals to all be HIGH before the controller is enabled, and must be disabled in the event that any one signal goes LOW. The 3-input AND gate combines the 3 individual reset signals into a single active-low reset signal.
Many power good signals use open-drain outputs which can produce slow input transition rates during transition from LOW to Hi-Z mode. This makes the SN74HCS11 an excellent choice for the application because this device has Schmitt-trigger inputs that do not have input transition rate requirements.
