CD74HCT14MT

Inverter Gates Overview

The CD74HCT14MT is a high-speed CMOS logic hex inverter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features six independent Schmitt-trigger inverters within a single 14-pin SOIC package. The device operates on a supply voltage range of 2V to 6V, with a maximum propagation delay of 23ns at 6V and 50pF load. Output drive capabilities include 5.2mA for both high and low states. Static current consumption is limited to a maximum of 2µA. The component supports surface mount installation and functions reliably across an extended temperature range from -55°C to +125°C.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Integrates six independent Schmitt-trigger inverters for signal conditioning
• Provides robust noise immunity through defined input hysteresis levels
• Supports wide supply voltage operation from 2V to 6V
• Features low static power consumption suitable for battery applications

Inverter Gates Applications

• Waveform shaping of slow-rise or slow-fall signals
• Pulse generation from noisy digital inputs
• Oscillator circuit design requiring stable switching thresholds
• Signal level translation in mixed-voltage systems

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix MT indicates the 14-SOIC surface-mount package configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status as per the latest manufacturer documentation. Check for any recent Product Change Notifications (PCN) regarding manufacturing site changes or material updates. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required lead time and packaging format such as cut tape or reel.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when Schmitt trigger action is required for noise rejection in low-power CMOS designs. The 2V to 6V operating range offers flexibility compared to standard 5V-only logic families. Consider the 14-SOIC package dimensions for PCB layout constraints. Verify that the 5.2mA output drive current meets the load requirements of the subsequent circuit stages.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This device belongs to the Texas Instruments 74HC series of high-speed CMOS logic components. The 74HC family provides performance comparable to standard TTL logic but with lower power consumption and wider voltage tolerance. The HCT designation typically refers to High-Speed CMOS with TTL-compatible inputs, though the HC variant specified here operates with CMOS input thresholds compatible with the broader 2V-6V range.
