The TC74ACT14FT(EL.PP) is a high-speed hex Schmitt-trigger inverter from Toshiba Semiconductor and Storage, belonging to the Advanced CMOS Technology (ACT) logic family. This device operates with a supply voltage of 4.5V to 5.5V and is designed for applications requiring noise immunity and signal conditioning. The Schmitt-trigger inputs provide different positive-going (VT+) and negative-going (VT-) threshold voltages, which minimizes the effect of noise on input signals. This device is suitable for applications requiring clean and reliable digital signals.

Applications:

• Wave and pulse shapers
• Astable and monostable multivibrators
• Noise discrimination
• Signal conditioning
• Clock generation circuits

Features:

• High-speed operation: tpd = 6.0 ns (typ.) at VCC = 5V
• Low power consumption: ICC = 4 μA (max.) at VCC = 5V
• TTL compatible inputs
• Schmitt-trigger inputs with hysteresis
• High noise immunity
• Symmetrical output drive: |IOH| = IOL = 24 mA
• Wide operating temperature range: -40°C to +85°C
• Package: SOIC14 (Small Outline Integrated Circuit)

Benefits:

• Improved noise immunity for noisy environments
• Clean digital signals with reduced signal distortion
• Easy interfacing with TTL logic circuits
• Stable circuit operation due to hysteresis
• Directly drives LEDs and other high-current loads with its symmetrical output drive
• Suitable for a wide range of applications due to its wide operating temperature range
• Compact size for space-constrained applications

Additional Details:

The TC74ACT14FT(EL.PP) is fabricated using silicon gate CMOS technology. The device's inputs are equipped with clamp diodes to limit the effects of transmission line reflections, simplifying system design. The 'FT' suffix denotes a surface mount package (SOIC14), and the 'EL' indicates environmentally friendly lead-free, and PP typically denotes tape and reel packaging. The Schmitt-trigger action makes the device suitable for use in applications where the input signal has a slow transition time or contains significant noise. This device is suitable for industrial, automotive, and consumer electronics applications.
