ON Semiconductor MC74VHC14DTR2: Hex Schmitt-Trigger Inverter

The MC74VHC14DTR2 is a high-performance, six-channel inverter integrated circuit (IC) with Schmitt-trigger inputs, designed and manufactured by ON Semiconductor. This advanced logic IC is created to operate with a power supply range of 2V to 5.5V, making it suitable for a variety of applications, including those that need to interface with 3.3V and 5V systems. The device is a member of the high-speed CMOS family, which is known for its low power consumption and high noise immunity.

Each inverter in the MC74VHC14DTR2 is designed with a Schmitt-trigger input, which enhances the noise immunity and transforms slowly changing input signals into sharply defined jitter-free output signals. This feature is particularly beneficial in environments where noise is present on the signal lines, or when signals are not cleanly transitioning between high and low logic levels.

The device is provided in a TSSOP-14 (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package) form factor, making it compact and suitable for space-constrained applications. The pin configuration is carefully designed to ensure easy integration into circuit designs. The MC74VHC14DTR2 is also characterized for operation from -55°C to 125°C, ensuring reliable performance across a wide range of temperature conditions.

Key features of the MC74VHC14DTR2 include:

• Hex inverter configuration with Schmitt-trigger inputs
• Wide operating voltage range of 2V to 5.5V
• Low power consumption
• High noise immunity characteristic of CMOS devices
• Capability to drive 10 LSTTL loads over the full temperature range
• Power down protection provided on all inputs and outputs
• Pin and function compatible with other standard logic families
• Lead-free, RoHS compliant, and 100% matte tin lead finish

Applications for the MC74VHC14DTR2 are diverse and include signal conditioning, pulse shaping, oscillators, and as a logic-level converter for interfacing different voltage levels within a system. Its robust design and high functionality make it an excellent choice for designers looking for a reliable Schmitt-trigger inverter solution.

With ON Semiconductor's commitment to quality, the MC74VHC14DTR2 stands out as a versatile component that can enhance the performance and reliability of digital systems.
