CD40106BCN

Inverter Gates Overview

The CD40106BCN is a monolithic CMOS Hex Schmitt Trigger integrated circuit manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor. It contains six independent inverters with Schmitt-trigger inputs, constructed using N and P-channel enhancement transistors. The device operates within a DC supply voltage range of 3V to 15V and supports an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. Key electrical characteristics include a typical propagation delay of 400ns at 5V and guaranteed hysteresis of at least 0.2 VDD. It is housed in a 14-lead Plastic Dual-In-Line (PDIP) package.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Provides high noise immunity through Schmitt-trigger input thresholds that reduce signal transition errors.
• Features wide supply voltage compatibility ranging from 3V to 15V for flexible power integration.
• Includes internal diode clamps on all inputs to protect against static discharge damage.

Inverter Gates Applications

• Low power oscillator circuits
• Waveform shaping applications
• Signal conditioning for noisy environments

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer origin, as this component was originally produced by Fairchild Semiconductor. Confirm package integrity for the 14-lead PDIP configuration. Ensure the revision date aligns with project requirements, noting the datasheet was revised in September 2003. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by current manufacturing standards.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when hex inverter functionality with built-in hysteresis is required. It serves as a direct equivalent to the MM74C14. Consider the 14-lead PDIP package for through-hole mounting needs. Verify that the 3V to 15V supply range matches the system power architecture before finalizing the design.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the 4000 series of CMOS logic devices. It functions specifically as a hex inverter with Schmitt triggers. The 'N' suffix denotes the 14-lead Plastic Dual-In-Line package. It is distinct from standard inverters due to its hysteresis properties, which improve noise tolerance in digital signal processing tasks.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

The MM74C14 is documented as an equivalent part number. Other manufacturers may produce compatible hex Schmitt trigger inverters within the 4000 series family. Verify pinout and electrical specifications before substituting with generic equivalents.
