Product Description

74HC14 Hex Inverting Schmitt Trigger Logic Gate IC

Six Inverters with Schmitt Trigger for Clean, Noise-Immune Signal Processing

The 74HC14 is a highspeed CMOS logic IC containing six independent inverting buffers with Schmitt trigger inputs. This device provides clean, jitterfree output transitions even when input signals have slow edges or significant noise. The built-in hysteresis ensures reliable performance in noisy environments, making it an indispensable component for signal conditioning, waveform shaping, and oscillator circuits.

Operating voltage range: 2.0V to 6.0V
Hysteresis voltage: 0.4V to 1.2V (at 5V)
Propagation delay: 13ns typical at 5V
Do not exceed 7.0V supply voltage - permanent damage may occur
Unused inputs must be tied to VCC or GND - floating inputs can cause oscillation
