SN74LS14DRE4

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74LS14DRE4 is a hex Schmitt-trigger inverter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V and features six independent inverters with Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity. The device utilizes a 14-pin SOIC surface-mount package and supports propagation delays up to 22ns at 5V with 15pF load capacitance. It functions reliably across an operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Integrates six independent Schmitt-trigger inverters for enhanced signal conditioning
• Provides hysteresis to filter noisy input signals effectively
• Supports standard TTL logic levels for broad compatibility

Inverter Gates Applications

• Signal wave shaping from slow or distorted input edges
• Debouncing mechanical switches to eliminate contact bounce
• Pulse generation circuits requiring precise timing thresholds

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm package type, tape-and-reel specifications, and environmental compliance status. Ensure the component matches the required pinout and electrical characteristics for your design before procurement.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when input signals require significant noise rejection compared to standard inverters. Consider the propagation delay limits and output drive capabilities relative to downstream loads. Verify that the SOIC-14 package fits the available PCB footprint constraints.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the Texas Instruments 74LS series of logic devices, which are widely used in digital systems. The 'D' suffix indicates a plastic small-outline package, while 'RE4' typically denotes a specific reel configuration and lead finish compliant with RoHS standards.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include SN74LS14DR and SN74LS14NSR. Verify that alternative manufacturers maintain identical pinouts and electrical parameters to ensure direct interchangeability without circuit modification.
