SN74LS14DBR

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74LS14DBR is a hex Schmitt-trigger inverter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It belongs to the 74LS logic series and utilizes CMOS technology. The device features six independent inverters, each equipped with Schmitt-trigger inputs to ensure clean signal transitions. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V. The component is housed in a 14-pin SSOP package and supports surface-mount installation. It functions reliably across an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Hex Schmitt-trigger configuration for noise immunity
• Temperature-compensated threshold levels
• Clean output generation from slow-rising signals

Inverter Gates Applications

• Signal conditioning for noisy environments
• Waveform shaping of analog or distorted digital signals
• Debouncing mechanical switches

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'DBR' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm the exact tape-and-reel quantity and packaging specifications. Ensure the order matches the required SSOP-14 package variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated in the official documentation before finalizing procurement.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when high noise immunity is required for inverting applications. The Schmitt-trigger input characteristic makes it suitable for interfaces involving slow signal edges or significant electrical noise. Verify that the 74LS logic family voltage requirements align with the system design constraints.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part is part of the standard 74-series logic family, specifically the Low-power Schottky (LS) variant. It serves as a fundamental building block for digital circuits requiring reliable inversion with hysteresis. The SSOP package provides a compact solution for space-constrained printed circuit board designs compared to through-hole alternatives.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include SN74LS14DR and SN74LS14N. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics match the original design requirements before substitution.
