CD74AC14EG4

Inverter Gates Overview

The CD74AC14EG4 is a hex Schmitt-trigger inverter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It belongs to the AC logic family and features six independent inverters within a single package. The device operates with a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V and supports an extended industrial temperature range from -55 °C to +125 °C. It utilizes a 14-pin plastic small-outline (SOIC) surface-mount package.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Integrates six independent Schmitt-trigger inverters for signal conditioning
• Provides noise filtering and waveform shaping capabilities via hysteresis
• Supports operation across an extended industrial temperature range

Inverter Gates Applications

• Signal conditioning for noisy digital environments
• Waveform shaping of slow-rise or slow-fall signals
• Oscillator circuit design requiring precise threshold control

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific EG4 suffix against current manufacturer documentation to confirm lead wire plating and RoHS compliance status. Confirm availability as this component may be subject to production lifecycle changes. Ensure the SOIC-14 package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements before finalizing procurement.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when six Schmitt-trigger inputs are required in a compact surface-mount form factor. The AC logic family offers higher speed performance compared to standard HC series devices while maintaining CMOS power efficiency. Verify that the 2 V to 6 V operating voltage range aligns with the system power supply rails.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part is a member of the Texas Instruments CD74AC14 family, which provides hex Schmitt-trigger inverters. The EG4 designation typically indicates a specific tape-and-reel packaging option and environmental compliance attributes within the broader CD74AC14 product line.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include CD74AC14M and CD74AC14M96. Cross-manufacturer equivalents such as MC74AC14 or HD74AC14 may function similarly but require verification of pinout compatibility and electrical specifications.
