The MC74VHCT14ADR2G is an integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by ON Semiconductor. It belongs to the VHCT family, which stands for Very High-Speed CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) TTL-compatible logic.
This IC is a Hex Schmitt-Trigger Inverter, meaning it consists of six independent inverters with Schmitt-trigger inputs. Each inverter can take a digital input signal and produce its complementary output signal.
Key features of the MC74VHCT14ADR2G include:
1. High-speed operation: The VHCT technology allows for very fast switching speeds, ensuring minimal delays and high-performance operation.
2. Wide voltage range: This IC is designed to operate within a wide voltage range, offering compatibility with various digital circuits and power supplies. The voltage range typically spans from 2.0V to 5.5V.
3. Schmitt-trigger inputs: The Schmitt-trigger inputs enable the IC to have hysteresis behavior, making it less sensitive to input signal noise and ensuring better noise immunity. This feature enables the IC to provide reliable output transitions even in noisy environments.
4. CMOS technology: The use of CMOS technology allows for low power consumption, making it suitable for applications that require longer battery life or operate in a low-power environment
