N74F14N,602

Inverter Gates Overview

The N74F14N,602 is a hex inverter Schmitt trigger integrated circuit manufactured by NXP USA Inc. It accepts standard TTL input signals and provides standard TTL output levels. The device transforms slowly changing input signals into sharply defined, jitter-free outputs with greater noise margin than conventional inverters. Each circuit contains a Schmitt trigger followed by a Darlington level shifter and phase splitter driving a TTL totem-pole output. Operating voltage ranges from 4.5V to 5.5V. Propagation delay is typically 5.0ns at 5V with total supply current of 18mA.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Contains six logic inverters with Schmitt trigger inputs for signal conditioning
• Transforms slowly changing input signals into sharply defined, jitter-free outputs
• Provides greater noise margin compared to conventional inverters
• Accepts standard TTL input signals and provides standard TTL output levels

Inverter Gates Applications

• Signal conditioning for slowly changing waveforms
• Jitter-free output generation from noisy inputs
• TTL logic interface applications requiring enhanced noise immunity

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'N' indicates the 14-pin plastic DIP package (SOT27-1) as documented in the ordering information table. Confirm the commercial temperature range specification of 0°C to +70°C matches the design requirements. Ensure compatibility with the 4.5V to 5.5V supply voltage limits before integration.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when slow-rising input signals require conversion to clean digital transitions. The internal positive feedback mechanism effectively speeds up input transitions. Consider the industrial temperature variant if operation below 0°C or above 70°C is required. Verify fan-out capabilities against the connected load requirements.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the 74F series of high-speed TTL logic devices produced by Philips/NXP Semiconductors. The 74F14 specifically implements the hex inverter function with Schmitt trigger characteristics. It is distinct from non-Schmitt variants like the 74F04 due to its hysteresis properties which improve noise immunity.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

The N74F14D,602 serves as a surface-mount alternative using the SO package. Other manufacturers producing equivalent 74F14 hex inverter Schmitt triggers may be considered if pin-compatible replacements are needed.
