STMicroelectronics 74VHC14MTR Hex Schmitt Inverter

The 74VHC14MTR from STMicroelectronics is a high-speed CMOS device that contains six independent inverters with Schmitt-trigger action on each input. Designed to operate with a power supply ranging from 2V to 5.5V, this component provides a perfect solution for interfacing with different logic levels in mixed 3.3V/5V systems, offering robust noise immunity and hysteresis characteristics.

This inverter is particularly well-suited for wave shaping and noise-ridden applications where signal conditioning is crucial. Its Schmitt-trigger inputs transform slowly changing input signals into sharply defined jitter-free output signals, making the 74VHC14MTR an excellent choice for applications requiring clean edge signals.

Key Features:

• Logic Type: Hex Schmitt Inverter
• Supply Voltage Range: 2.0V to 5.5V, accommodating various logic levels and providing flexibility in mixed-voltage applications.
• High-Speed: t<sub>PD 8.5ns (Typ) at V<sub>CC = 5V, ensuring fast response times for critical applications.
• Low Power Dissipation: I<sub>CC = 2µA (Max) at T<sub>A = 25°C, which is beneficial for power-sensitive designs.
