Product details
Overview
74ACT14TTR from STMicroelectronics is a hex Schmitt-trigger inverter IC designed for noise-immune signal conditioning in high-speed digital interfaces. It delivers 7.2 ns typical propagation delay at 5 V, ±24 mA symmetrical output drive, and operates across 2 V to 5.5 V supply range-enabling robust interfacing between TTL, CMOS, and NMOS logic families in industrial control and data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74ACT14TTR datasheet, 74ACT14TTR pinout, 74ACT14TTR application, or 74ACT14TTR equivalent, key selection criteria include hysteresis voltage (0.4–1.5 V), transmission-line driving capability (50 Ω), ESD immunity (2 kV), and TSSOP-14 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The device implements six independent Schmitt-trigger inverters using sub-micron C2MOS technology, with three-stage buffered output architecture that ensures stable switching and high noise immunity. Each gate features asymmetric input thresholds (Vt+ = 2.0 V, Vt− = 0.6 V) and 0.4–1.5 V hysteresis to reject slow-rising/falling signals on bus lines or sensor inputs.
It supports direct interfacing across logic families due to TTL-compatible input thresholds and CMOS-level output swing, while its 50 Ω transmission-line drive capability enables clean edge integrity without external termination resistors in point-to-point routing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation Delay | 7.2 ns typical at VCC = 5 V - enables ≤139 MHz toggle rate in single-gate configurations |
| Hysteresis Voltage | 0.4–1.5 V - rejects noise up to 1.5 V peak-to-peak on slow input edges |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA min - drives 50 Ω transmission lines directly without series termination |
| Supply Range | 2 V to 5.5 V - interoperable with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains |
| Input Leakage | ±1 µA max at TA = −55°C to +125°C - preserves signal integrity in low-power standby modes |
| ESD Immunity | 2 kV HBM - protects against handling-induced discharge during assembly and field operation |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-14 package: 4.9 × 6.4 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, 14-pin surface-mount with exposed pad not present; RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level MSL3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 13 | Input (1A–6A) | CMOS/TTL-compatible Schmitt-trigger inputs with hysteresis; accept slow edges without oscillation |
| 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 | Output (1Y–6Y) | Inverted, rail-to-rail CMOS outputs with symmetrical sourcing/sinking capability |
| 7 | GND | Reference ground for all I/O and internal logic; must be low-impedance for noise suppression |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply input; decoupling capacitor required within 5 mm for stable high-speed operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Schmitt-trigger inputs per gate | Enables reliable switching on noisy or slowly transitioning signals (e.g., mechanical switch debouncing, analog sensor digitization) |
| 50 Ω transmission-line drive | Eliminates need for external series termination in point-to-point clock or data lines up to 100 MHz |
| 2 kV HBM ESD protection | Reduces risk of field failure during handling, board insertion, or system-level ESD events |
| Wide VCC range (2–5.5 V) | Supports mixed-voltage designs and brown-out tolerant operation in battery-backed systems |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Interface | RS-232 Line Receiver Conditioning |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Converting slow-rising analog sensor outputs (e.g., thermistor divider, potentiometer wiper) into clean digital logic levels. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Schmitt-trigger inverter acting as noise-immune threshold comparator and signal shaper.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional voltage-level translator leveraging Schmitt thresholds and rail-swing outputs. Use Value: Maintains timing integrity across voltage domains without active translation ICs or resistor dividers. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex Schmitt inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LV14APWR | Lower VCC range (1.65–5.5 V); 10 ns tPD at 3.3 V; 8 mA drive; no 50 Ω line drive spec | Better suited for ultra-low-power 1.8/3.3 V systems; insufficient for 50 Ω transmission-line loads | Select when operating below 3.3 V and power budget is critical; avoid for 5 V or high-speed line driving |
| MC74VHC14DT | Same pinout; 7.5 ns tPD at 5 V; 8 mA drive; no guaranteed 50 Ω drive or 2 kV ESD rating | Lacks transmission-line drive validation and industrial-grade ESD margin; narrower temp range (−40°C to +85°C) | Acceptable for commercial-grade 5 V logic; not recommended for industrial or harsh-environment deployment |
Compared with SN74LV14APWR and MC74VHC14DT, the 74ACT14TTR uniquely combines 50 Ω line drive, 2 kV ESD, and full industrial temperature support (−55°C to +125°C), making it the only choice for ruggedized signal conditioning in factory automation and test equipment.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage for guaranteed Schmitt-trigger operation?
The 74ACT14TTR guarantees correct Schmitt behavior down to VCC = 2.0 V, with specified hysteresis (0.4–1.5 V) and input thresholds (Vt+ = 2.0 V, Vt− = 0.6 V) validated across −55°C to +125°C. Below 2.0 V, hysteresis collapses and input thresholds shift unpredictably, risking metastability.
Can 74ACT14TTR drive a 50 Ω coaxial cable directly?
Yes-the device is explicitly characterized for 50 Ω transmission-line driving capability per output, with symmetrical ±24 mA drive strength and balanced tPLH/tPHL delays. No external series resistor is needed for point-to-point 50 Ω traces up to 15 cm at 5 V supply.
Is the TSSOP-14 package lead-free and RoHS-compliant?
Yes-74ACT14TTR uses a standard RoHS-compliant, lead-free TSSOP-14 package (JEDEC MO-153 variant), qualified to MSL3 per J-STD-020, with matte-tin finish on all leads and no exemption-required substances.
How does the 74ACT14TTR differ from standard 74HC14 in industrial use?
Unlike 74HC14, the 74ACT14TTR offers 2 kV HBM ESD protection, guaranteed 50 Ω line drive, tighter propagation delay matching (tPLH ≅ tPHL), and full −55°C to +125°C operation-making it suitable for factory-floor PLC I/O modules and motor drive feedback conditioning where HC variants fail prematurely.
