Introduction

The CD74ACT14E is a high-speed Hex Schmitt-trigger inverter designed for high-performance digital systems.

Product Features and Performance

Consists of six inverter circuits with Schmitt-trigger action on each.

Operates from a single 4.5V to 5.5V supply.

Very low quiescent current of 4 µA max, making it energy-efficient.

Output capability of 24mA for both high and low levels, enabling direct driving of loads.

Features fast propagation delays of 14.5ns max at 5V and 50pF, enhancing system speed.

Inputs accept voltages from 0.8V (low level) to 2V (high level), providing flexible interfacing.

Product Advantages

Schmitt-trigger action provides noise immunity and transforms slowly changing input signals into sharply defined jitter-free output signals.

The chip's wide operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C ensures reliability in extreme conditions.

Through-hole package allows for easy prototyping and soldering on PCBs.
