The SN74AHCT14D is a hex Schmitt-trigger inverter IC component manufactured by Texas Instruments. It is a part of the 74AHCT family, which features the characteristics of high-speed CMOS devices combined with Schmitt-trigger inputs.
Key Features of SN74AHCT14D:
1. Hex Schmitt-Trigger Inverter: The IC is comprised of six independent Schmitt-trigger inverters, each performing the function of converting a logic input signal to its complementary output.
2. Schmitt-Trigger Inputs: The SN74AHCT14D is equipped with inputs that feature Schmitt-trigger action. This configuration provides hysteresis and ensures a more accurate and noise-tolerant switching behavior. It enables the IC to accept signals with slow transition times and reduces the chances of false output switching caused by noise fluctuations.
3. Wide Operating Voltage Range: This component has a wide operating voltage range from 2V to 5.5V. It can be effectively used in applications with varying voltage levels, offering flexibility in system design.
4. High-Speed Operation: The SN74AHCT14D operates at high speed, making it suitable for applications that demand quick response times. Its propagation delay is typically 7.5 nanoseconds, which enables it to process signals rapidly
