TC74AC14F(EL,F)

Inverter Gates Overview

The TC74AC14F(EL,F) is a hex Schmitt inverter from Toshiba's 74AC logic series, fabricated using silicon gate and double-layer metal wiring CMOS technology. It operates within a wide voltage range of 2.0 V to 5.5 V. The device features a typical propagation delay of 5.3 ns at 5 V supply and maintains low power dissipation with a maximum quiescent current of 4 μA. It provides symmetrical output impedance with minimum drive currents of 24 mA for both high and low states. The component supports driving 50 Ω transmission lines and includes input protection circuits against static discharge.

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (EL,F) corresponds to the SOP-14 surface mount package configuration during sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official Toshiba documentation prior to integration. Ensure design compatibility with the specified 2.0 V to 5.5 V operating voltage range and -40°C to +85°C temperature limits. Cross-reference datasheet electrical characteristics for accurate timing analysis.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when Schmitt trigger action is required to eliminate noise on slow-rising digital signals. It serves as a direct functional replacement for 74F14 equivalents while offering improved speed and lower power consumption typical of AC logic families. Consider the SOP-14 package constraints and verify that the 24 mA drive capability meets load requirements for connected circuitry.
