Product details
Overview
74AC14TTR from STMicroelectronics is a high-speed CMOS hex Schmitt trigger inverter with 6 independent channels, operating from 2V to 6V supply, 4.5ns typical propagation delay at 5V, ±24mA symmetrical output drive, and 2kV ESD immunity. It interfaces slow-rising digital signals in clock conditioning and noise-prone sensor signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 74AC14TTR datasheet, 74AC14TTR pinout, 74AC14TTR application, or 74AC14TTR equivalent, key selection criteria include hysteresis voltage (0.3–1.6V), input threshold symmetry (Vt+ = 3.9V / Vt− = 1.1V at 5.5V), transmission-line driving capability (50Ω), and industrial temperature range (−55°C to +125°C).
Technical Context
The device implements six independent Schmitt-trigger inverters using sub-micron C2MOS technology, each with three-stage buffered output for enhanced noise immunity. Its hysteresis (0.3–1.6V) enables reliable switching on slow-edge inputs like mechanical switch debouncing or analog sensor outputs.
Propagation delays are balanced (tPLH ≅ tPHL), and output impedance is symmetrical (|IOH| = |IOL| ≥ 24mA), supporting bidirectional signal integrity in mixed-signal interface applications without external termination.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2V to 6V - supports dual-supply systems and legacy 5V logic while enabling 3.3V compatibility |
| tPD (Typ) | 4.5ns at VCC = 5V - enables high-frequency clock shaping up to ~100MHz edge rates |
| Hysteresis (Vh) | 0.3–1.6V - rejects noise spikes ≤1.6V and ensures clean transitions on slow-rising inputs |
| IOL / IOH | ≥24mA - drives 50Ω transmission lines directly without external buffers |
| ICC (Max) | 4µA at TA = 25°C - ultra-low static power for battery-backed or always-on monitoring nodes |
| ESD Rating | 2kV HBM - protects against handling-induced discharge in assembly and field service |
| Operating Temp | −55°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial motor control environments |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-14 package: 4.9 × 6.4 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, 14-pin surface-mount, moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1), lead-free and RoHS compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 13 | Input (1A–6A) | CMOS Schmitt-trigger inputs accepting 0–VCC logic levels with hysteresis |
| 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 | Output (1Y–6Y) | Inverted, buffered outputs capable of sourcing/sinking ≥24mA |
| 7 | GND | Reference ground for all I/O and internal logic stages |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply rail (2–6V); decoupling capacitor required per channel group |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Schmitt-trigger input hysteresis | 0.3–1.6V programmable via VCC - eliminates contact bounce and EMI-induced false triggering |
| Symmetrical output drive | |IOH| = |IOL| ≥ 24mA - ensures matched rise/fall times and minimal skew in timing-critical paths |
| Balanced propagation delays | tPLH ≅ tPHL - preserves duty cycle integrity in clock inversion and waveform reshaping |
| 50Ω transmission-line drive | Validated at CL = 50pF, RL = 500Ω, ZOUT ≈ 50Ω - eliminates need for series termination resistors |
Applications
| Switch Debouncing | Sensor Signal Conditioning |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Mechanical push-button or relay contact closure in industrial HMI panels. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Schmitt-trigger inverter cleans noisy, slow-rising switch edges into clean digital pulses.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schmitt-trigger inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LV14APWR | Lower drive (±12mA), narrower VCC (2–5.5V), lower hysteresis (0.2–0.8V) | Optimized for low-power 3.3V systems; insufficient for 50Ω line driving | Select when power budget <1µA and load current <12mA is acceptable |
| MC74VHC14DT | Higher ICC (max 20µA), wider hysteresis (0.4–2.0V), same 24mA drive | Better noise margin at 3.3V but higher quiescent consumption | Prefer for high-noise industrial settings where static power is secondary to robustness |
Compared with SN74LV14APWR and MC74VHC14DT, the 74AC14TTR uniquely balances ultra-low ICC (4µA), full 50Ω line drive, and wide temperature range - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-aware, and automotive-grade signal conditioning.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage for guaranteed Schmitt-trigger operation?
The 74AC14TTR guarantees correct Schmitt-trigger behavior down to VCC = 2V, with validated hysteresis (Vt+ − Vt−) ≥ 0.3V across −55°C to +125°C. Below 2V, input thresholds become undefined and hysteresis collapses, risking metastability on slow edges.
Can 74AC14TTR drive a 50Ω coaxial cable directly?
Yes - its symmetrical 24mA output drive and matched output impedance allow direct connection to 50Ω transmission lines at frequencies up to ~100MHz, provided CL ≤ 50pF and proper PCB layout (controlled impedance, ground plane). No series termination resistor is needed.
How does the 74AC14TTR differ from standard 74HC14 in noise immunity?
The 74AC14TTR offers higher hysteresis (up to 1.6V vs. 0.9V typical for HC14 at 5V), faster propagation (4.5ns vs. 18ns), and superior ESD rating (2kV vs. 200V HBM), making it significantly more robust against EMI and contact bounce in industrial and automotive settings.
Is the TSSOP-14 package of 74AC14TTR pin-compatible with DIP-14 and SO-14 versions?
Yes - all variants share identical pin numbering and logic function. The TSSOP-14 (74AC14TTR), SO-14 (74AC14MTR), and DIP-14 (74AC14B) are functionally and electrically identical; only mechanical form factor and thermal characteristics differ.
