The SN74HC14DR is a hex Schmitt-trigger inverter integrated circuit (IC) from Texas Instruments, part of the 74HC series. Here are its key features:
- Functionality: Hex Schmitt-trigger inverter, which means it contains six independent inverters with Schmitt-trigger inputs that provide hysteresis for improved noise immunity and signal integrity.
- Input and Output:
- Input type: Schmitt-trigger
- Output type: CMOS
- Operating Voltage: Wide operating voltage range from 2V to 6V, making it compatible with various logic levels and power supplies.
- Propagation Delay: Typical propagation delay is 14ns at 5V, providing fast switching times.
- Current Drive: Capable of sourcing and sinking up to 25 mA per output.
- Package: Available in a 14-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package, identified by the “DR” in the part number.
- Temperature Range: Operates in a temperature range from -40°C to +85°C, suitable for both commercial and industrial applications.
- Applications: Used in digital circuits for signal conditioning, noise filtering, and creating stable logic levels in environments with slow or noisy input signals.
This IC is ideal for use in digital systems where signal integrity is important, particularly in applications requiring fast and reliable logic inverters with noise immunity.
