ON Semiconductor MC74HCT14AG Hex Schmitt-Trigger Inverter

The ON Semiconductor MC74HCT14AG is a high-performance, hex inverter chip featuring Schmitt-trigger inputs, designed to operate with a power supply range of 4.5V to 5.5V. This integrated circuit (IC) is part of the high-speed CMOS HCT family and is pin-compatible with low-power Schottky TTL (LSTTL), ensuring ease of use in mixed-technology environments.

Each inverter in the MC74HCT14AG is a single-stage, six-channel device that provides a unique hysteresis characteristic, which is ideal for transforming slowly changing input signals into sharply defined, jitter-free output signals, enhancing noise immunity and eliminating output signal glitches. This makes the device particularly suitable for applications requiring squaring up slow input rise and fall times.
