SN74HCT14DT

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74HCT14DT is a hex Schmitt-trigger inverter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and features six independent inverting channels. The device utilizes HCT CMOS technology, ensuring TTL-compatible logic levels. It is housed in a 14-pin SOIC package with surface-mount installation. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum propagation delay of 38 ns at 5.5 V with a 50 pF load, and output drive currents of ±4 mA. The operating temperature range extends from -40°C to +85°C.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Integrates six independent Schmitt-trigger inverters for signal conditioning
• Provides noise filtering and waveform shaping capabilities through hysteresis
• Ensures compatibility with standard TTL logic input levels via HCT technology

Inverter Gates Applications

• Signal conditioning for noisy digital environments
• Waveform shaping of slow-rise or slow-fall time signals
• Oscillator circuits requiring precise threshold control

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'DT' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm the exact package variant and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the component meets the required industrial temperature range and voltage standards for your specific application design before finalizing procurement.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when TTL-level compatibility is required alongside Schmitt-trigger noise immunity. It is suitable for designs needing multiple inverting stages with defined switching thresholds. Consider alternative packages if pin count or thermal performance requirements differ from the standard SOIC-14 configuration.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74HCT14 family of hex Schmitt-trigger inverters. It shares functional similarities with other members like SN74HC14 but differs in input logic level compatibility. The HCT series is designed to interface directly with TTL outputs, making it distinct from standard HC series components in mixed-voltage systems.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include SN74HCT14DR and SN74HCT14DRE4. Verify pinout compatibility and ensure the replacement maintains the same HCT logic family characteristics and SOIC-14 package dimensions.
