The CD74AC14EG4 is an integrated circuit component, specifically a hex Schmitt-trigger inverter. It belongs to the AC (Advanced CMOS) family of logic devices, which operate at a higher speed compared to the standard CMOS logic. The CD74AC14EG4 is designed for digital signal processing applications and is widely used in various electronic circuits.
Key Features:
1. Hex Schmitt-Trigger Inverters: This IC contains six independent Schmitt-trigger inverter gates. These gates help in conditioning digital signals by adding hysteresis, which means that the output signal level changes only when the input signal crosses a certain threshold, reducing the effects of noise and glitches.
2. Wide Operating Voltage Range: The CD74AC14EG4 has a wide operating voltage range from 2 V to 6 V. This makes it compatible with a variety of power supply voltages, allowing for flexibility in design.
3. High-Speed Operation: Thanks to its AC family designation, this IC offers high-speed operation with a typical propagation delay of 4.5 ns. This enables faster switching and processing of digital signals.
4. Schmitt-Trigger Inputs: Each Schmitt-trigger gate in this IC has a Schmitt-trigger input. This input is designed to provide improved noise immunity, making the CD74AC14EG4 suitable for applications in noisy environments
