74AC14SC

Overview

The onsemi 74AC14SCX is a hex inverter integrated circuit belonging to the 74AC logic series. It features Schmitt trigger inputs and is manufactured using CMOS technology. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V and supports a maximum operating temperature of +85°C. It provides six independent inverting channels in a 14-pin SOIC package. Key electrical specifications include a maximum propagation delay of 10 ns at 5 V with 50 pF load, static current of 2 µA, and output drive capabilities of ±24 mA.

Feature Summary

• Hex inverter configuration with Schmitt trigger inputs for noise immunity
• CMOS construction offering low static power consumption
• High output drive capability suitable for driving multiple loads

Applications

• Signal conditioning and waveform shaping
• Clock signal generation and buffering
• Pulse width modulation circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., SCX) against the datasheet to confirm package type and tape/reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with required operating temperatures and voltage ranges. Confirm RoHS compliance status if restricted substances are a constraint. Check for alternate part numbers such as 74AC14SCX_NL which may indicate packaging variations.

Selection Notes

Select this component when six independent inverters with hysteresis are required in a standard SOIC footprint. Compare propagation delays and output currents against other 74AC family members if higher speed or different packaging like TSSOP is needed. Verify that the 2V to 6V supply range aligns with the system design constraints.

Part Context

This component is part of the 74AC14 family from onsemi, designed for high-speed digital applications. It serves as a standard solution for inverting signals with noise rejection capabilities. The AC series offers performance improvements over older HC/HCT families while maintaining pin compatibility.

Replacement Considerations

The 74AC14MTCX is an alternative version from onsemi featuring the same logical function but housed in a TSSOP-14 package instead of SOIC-14. Other manufacturers' 74AC14 equivalents may be compatible if pinouts and electrical characteristics match.
