The IC component CD74HCT14M is a hex inverter Schmitt trigger. It contains six individual inverters with Schmitt trigger inputs. Here are some key features and an overview of this component:
1. Hex Inverter Schmitt Trigger: CD74HCT14M consists of six inverters that perform the logic function "NOT" on their inputs. It provides Schmitt trigger inputs, which allow the device to have a hysteresis characteristic. This helps in improving noise immunity and provides better signal integrity.
2. Wide Operating Voltage Range: The CD74HCT14M operates in a wide voltage range from 2 V to 6 V. This makes it compatible with both TTL and CMOS logic levels, allowing it to be used in various applications.
3. High Speed Operation: With a propagation delay of just 20 ns (typical) and a maximum frequency of 74 MHz, the CD74HCT14M offers fast and efficient signal processing capabilities. This quick response time is essential in applications requiring rapid data processing.
4. Low Power Consumption: This component is designed to consume low power, making it suitable for energy-efficient designs. It draws significantly less power compared to traditional TTL logic chips, resulting in reduced system power consumption.
5. TTL and CMOS Compatibility: The CD74HCT14M is designed to be pin-to-pin compatible and functionally equivalent to popular TTL 74 series devices
