SN74HC14PWRE4

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74HC14PWRE4 is a hex Schmitt-trigger inverter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2V to 6V and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. The device provides buffered inputs, significant power reduction compared to LSTTL logic ICs, and supports fanout up to 10 LSTTL loads. It contains six independent inverters with Schmitt-trigger inputs that perform the Boolean function Y = A.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Contains six independent inverters with Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise tolerance
• Features buffered inputs and balanced CMOS push-pull outputs
• Supports wide operating voltage range from 2V to 6V
• Provides significant power reduction compared to LSTTL logic ICs

Inverter Gates Applications

• Synchronize inverted clock inputs
• Debounce a switch
• Invert a digital signal

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the component matches the SN74HC14 family specifications before integration. Confirm the PW (TSSOP) package type aligns with PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the E4 suffix indicates compliance with RoHS standards as per manufacturer documentation. Validate thermal resistance values against system cooling capabilities.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when noisy input signals require hysteresis filtering or when switching speed is not critical. The HC series offers standard drive capabilities suitable for general-purpose logic applications. Consider the TSSOP package size constraints during layout planning. Verify compatibility with existing 2V to 6V supply rails in the target design.
