ON Semiconductor MC14106BDTR2 Hex Schmitt Trigger

The MC14106BDTR2 is a high-performance integrated circuit from ON Semiconductor, designed to function as a hex Schmitt trigger. This device is a member of the 4000 series CMOS logic family, featuring six independent Schmitt triggers in a single package. The Schmitt trigger is a digital switching circuit with a hysteresis characteristic that makes it ideal for noise immunity and clean switching action, even in the presence of electrical noise and unstable input signals.

Each Schmitt trigger in the MC14106BDTR2 has a specific input threshold for switching from a low to a high state and vice versa, ensuring stable output transitions. This feature makes the device particularly suitable for applications that require wave-shaping, signal conditioning, or any situation where an input signal needs to be debounced or cleaned up before being used in digital circuits.

The MC14106BDTR2 is provided in a TSSOP-14 package, which is a compact form factor suitable for space-constrained applications. It operates over a wide voltage range from 3V to 18V, allowing it to be used in various systems without the need for additional level shifting. The device offers low power consumption, which is a hallmark of CMOS technology, making it a good choice for battery-powered and low-power applications.

Key features of the MC14106BDTR2 include:

• Versatility: Suitable for a wide array of applications, including wave generation, signal processing, and logic level conversion.
