The SN74AC14PWR is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the SN74AC series of logic gates manufactured by Texas Instruments. It is a hex inverter Schmitt trigger, meaning it consists of six independent NOT gates with Schmitt-trigger inputs. The IC operates with a wide supply voltage range of 2V to 6V and is designed for high-speed logic-level translation and signal conditioning.
Key Features:
1. Hex Inverter Schmitt Trigger: The SN74AC14PWR contains six independent inverters, each with a Schmitt-trigger input. These inverters can convert low-level signals into logic-compatible high-level signals, making it suitable for processing noisy or weak input signals.
2. Schmitt-Trigger Inputs: The Schmitt-trigger inputs allow hysteresis, which means the input thresholds for switching between high and low states have different voltage levels. This hysteresis ensures better noise immunity and removes any uncertainty in the input signal due to noise or slow input rise/fall times.
3. Wide Supply Voltage Range: The IC can operate in a supply voltage range of 2V to 6V, making it compatible with various digital circuits and microcontrollers.
4. High-Speed Operation: The SN74AC14PWR features a propagation delay of just 3.5 nanoseconds, allowing it to process signals quickly without introducing significant delays
