SN74HCT14DRG4

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74HCT14DRG4 is a hex Schmitt-trigger inverter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within the HCT logic series and utilizes CMOS technology. The device is housed in a 14-pin SOIC package. It supports a supply voltage range from 4.5 V to 5.5 V. The component functions across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Key electrical characteristics include a propagation delay of 38 ns, a low-level output current of 4 mA, and a high-level output current of -4 mA.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Integrates six independent Schmitt-trigger inverters for signal conditioning
• Provides noise filtering capabilities through defined input thresholds
• Compatible with standard TTL logic levels via HCT family design

Inverter Gates Applications

• Waveform shaping of slow-rise or slow-fall signals
• Noise elimination on digital input lines
• Pulse width modulation signal generation

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix G4 against official Texas Instruments documentation to confirm lead-free status and RoHS compliance details. Ensure the SOIC-14 package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements. Cross-reference the HCT logic level compatibility with your system's 5V power domain to guarantee correct voltage threshold operation.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when six inverted outputs with hysteresis are required in a single package. The HCT series ensures compatibility with 5V TTL systems. Consider the SOIC-14 package for surface-mount assembly. Verify that the 38 ns propagation delay meets the timing constraints of the target application circuit.

Inverter Gates Part Context
