STMicroelectronics 74VHC14YMTR Hex Schmitt Inverter

The 74VHC14YMTR from STMicroelectronics is a high-speed CMOS Hex Schmitt Inverter integrated circuit, designed to fulfill the requirements of a wide range of digital applications. This device features six independent inverters with Schmitt-trigger action on each input, which enables it to transform slowly changing input signals into sharply defined, jitter-free output signals, enhancing the circuit's noise immunity and providing a stable output.

With its advanced silicon-gate CMOS fabrication, the 74VHC14YMTR offers the high noise immunity and low power consumption characteristics of standard CMOS integrated circuits, along with the ability to drive 10 LSTTL loads. The device operates over a broad voltage range of 2V to 5.5V and provides a balanced propagation delay and transition times, making it suitable for use in a variety of logic-level translation and wave-shaping applications.

The 74VHC14YMTR is supplied in a compact surface-mount package, specifically the TSSOP-14 (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package with 14 leads), making it ideal for space-constrained applications. The small footprint of the package allows for efficient use of PCB real estate, which is critical in today's densely packed electronic assemblies.

Key features of the 74VHC14YMTR include:

• High-speed: t_PD = 8.8ns (typ.) at V_CC = 5V
• Low power dissipation: I_CC = 2μA (max.) at T_A = 25°C
• Power down protection provided on inputs
• Low noise: V_OLP = 0.8V (max.)
• Pin and function compatible with 74 series 14 logic family

Designed to be used in logic-level conversion for interfacing TTL or NMOS outputs to high-speed CMOS inputs, the 74VHC14YMTR is a versatile component that can be used in a broad spectrum of digital circuits. Its robustness and high-speed operation make it well-suited for applications such as wave and pulse shapers, astable multivibrators, monostable multivibrators, and in any circuit where noise immunity is critical.

STMicroelectronics' commitment to quality and reliability is reflected in the 74VHC14YMTR, ensuring that it meets the stringent requirements of the electronics industry. Whether you're designing consumer electronics, industrial control systems, or complex computing hardware, this Schmitt inverter from STMicroelectronics provides a reliable and efficient solution for your digital logic needs.
