SN74HCT14DRG3

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74HCT14DRG3 is a hex Schmitt-trigger inverter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It belongs to the HCT logic series and utilizes CMOS technology. The device contains six independent inverters within a single package. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V. The component supports surface-mount installation in an SOIC-14 package. It functions reliably across a temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. Key electrical characteristics include a propagation delay of 38 ns, a high-level output current of -4 mA, and a low-level output current of 4 mA.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Integrates six independent Schmitt-trigger inverters for signal conditioning
• Provides noise immunity through defined input hysteresis levels
• Compatible with standard TTL logic families via HCT technology

Inverter Gates Applications

• Signal wave shaping and pulse generation
• Noise filtering on digital input lines
• Transitioning slow-rise signals into clean square waves

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix DRG3 against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm the SOIC-14 package type and tape-and-reel orientation. Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified -40°C to +85°C thermal limits. Confirm that the 4.5 V to 5.5 V power supply constraints align with the target circuit design requirements before finalizing procurement.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when six isolated inverting channels with hysteresis are required in a compact surface-mount form factor. The HCT series ensures compatibility with 5 V systems while offering lower power consumption compared to older bipolar technologies. Consider the 38 ns propagation delay for timing-sensitive applications and verify that the SOIC-14 footprint matches the PCB layout constraints.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part is a member of the SN74HCT14 family, which includes various package options such as TSSOP and DIP. The DRG3 suffix specifically denotes the SOIC-14 body style with reel packaging. It serves as a digital logic interface component designed for general-purpose inversion tasks requiring noise rejection capabilities in industrial and commercial electronic systems.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other SN74HCT14 variants with different package suffixes, such as SN74HCT14D or SN74HCT14N, provided the pinout and electrical specifications remain identical. Verify package dimensions and thermal performance when swapping between SOIC, TSSOP, or DIP formats.
