The MC74ACT14DG is a high-performance, hex inverter with Schmitt-trigger inputs from ON Semiconductor, designed to offer robust signal conditioning in a variety of digital applications. This integrated circuit is part of ON Semiconductor's AC/ACT series, which is renowned for its high-speed operation and compatibility with TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) levels.

Each inverter in the MC74ACT14DG features a Schmitt-trigger input that provides a hysteresis effect, which is particularly beneficial in environments with high noise levels. This hysteresis helps to enhance noise immunity and transform slowly changing input signals into sharply defined jitter-free output signals, making the device ideal for squaring up slow input rise and fall times.

The device is fabricated with silicon gate CMOS technology, which ensures low power consumption while maintaining high-speed operation. The MC74ACT14DG operates over a wide voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V, and it can source or sink 24mA at output voltages of 4.6V, making it highly flexible for interfacing with various logic levels and driving capacitive loads.

Key Features

• Hex inverter configuration with six independent inverter gates.
• Schmitt-trigger action at all inputs, which makes the circuit tolerant to slower input rise and fall times.
• Operating voltage range from 4.5V to 5.5V, compatible with TTL levels.
• Output drive capability of 24mA, suitable for driving multiple loads.
• ICCH and ICCL are both 4 µA maximum at TA = 25°C, contributing to low power consumption.
