74HC14BQ-Q100,115

Overview

The Nexperia 74HC14BQ-Q100,115 is a hex inverting Schmitt trigger integrated circuit designed for automotive applications. It features six independent inverters with Schmitt-trigger inputs and is qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 standards. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 6.0 V and supports ambient temperatures from -40 °C to +125 °C. It utilizes the DHVQFN14 package (SOT762-1), which includes side-wettable flanks to enable automatic optical inspection of solder joints.

Feature Summary

• Automotive qualification compliant with AEC-Q100 Grade 1 standards
• Schmitt-trigger inputs convert slowly changing signals into sharply defined jitter-free outputs
• DHVQFN14 package design enables automatic optical inspection via side-wettable flanks

Applications

• Wave and pulse shapers
• Astable multivibrators
• Monostable multivibrators

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix

Selection Notes

Select this component when an automotive-grade hex inverter with Schmitt-trigger functionality is required. The DHVQFN14 package is suitable for high-density surface-mount designs where automated optical inspection capabilities are necessary. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Nexperia 74HC14-Q100 family of hex inverting Schmitt triggers. It shares functional characteristics with other variants such as the SO14 and TSSOP14 packages but differs in physical form factor. The BQ suffix specifically denotes the DHVQFN14 package configuration.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other 74HC14-Q100 variants from Nexperia, such as the 74HC14D-Q100 (SO14) or 74HC14PW-Q100 (TSSOP14). Verify pinout compatibility and thermal performance requirements before substituting different package types.
