CD74HC14E

The Texas Instruments CD74HC14E is a high-speed CMOS logic inverter IC featuring six independent Schmitt Trigger inputs. Each inverter provides a standard logic function with a Schmitt Trigger input, which helps to improve noise immunity and provides clean transitions from noisy input signals. This device is suitable for a wide range of digital applications requiring reliable signal conditioning.

Key electrical characteristics include an operating voltage range of 2V to 6V and a maximum propagation delay of 23ns at 6V with a 50pF load. The IC has a low quiescent current of 5.2mA. It is designed for through-hole mounting and comes in a 14-pin DIP package.

The CD74HC14E is ideal for applications where signal integrity is critical, such as in noisy environments or when interfacing with slower or less precise signal sources. Its Schmitt Trigger action ensures that even slow or distorted input signals are converted into clean, sharp output transitions.

This component is packaged in a standard 14-DIP form factor, facilitating easy integration into breadboard prototypes or through-hole PCB designs. The operating temperature range is from -55°C to 125°C, making it suitable for various environmental conditions.
