The CD74AC14M is a high-speed hex Schmitt-trigger inverter designed and manufactured by Texas Instruments. This integrated circuit is built with advanced silicon-gate CMOS technology to achieve the high-speed operation similar to equivalent Bipolar Schottky TTL while maintaining the CMOS low power dissipation.

Key Features

• Logic Type: Inverter
• Number of Circuits: 6
• Input Type: Schmitt Trigger
• Output Type: CMOS
• Supply Voltage Range: 2V to 6V
• Operating Temperature: -55°C to +125°C
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Package / Case: SOIC-14
• Propagation Delay Time: 8ns at 5V

Performance Advantages

The CD74AC14M provides significant performance advantages within a wide range of applications. Its Schmitt-trigger action at all inputs makes the circuit highly tolerant to slower input rise and fall times across the entire VCC range, and its noise immunity is enhanced. The device functions as an inverter but because of the Schmitt action, it has different input threshold levels for positive-going (V_T+) and negative-going (V_T-) signals.

Applications

Thanks to its robust design and high-speed operation, the CD74AC14M is suitable for an array of applications, including:

• Wave shaping and noise elimination
• Pulse shaping
• ASTABLE multivibrators
• MONOSTABLE multivibrators
• Logic circuits
