Product details
Overview
74HC14D/AUJ from Nexperia is a hex inverting Schmitt trigger IC operating from 2.0 V to 6.0 V, featuring six independent channels with hysteresis (VH = 0.6–1.6 V at VCC = 2.0–6.0 V), TTL-compatible input thresholds, and propagation delay as low as 12 ns at VCC = 6.0 V. It is used for waveform shaping and noise-immune signal conditioning in industrial control interfaces and sensor signal preprocessing.
For engineers reviewing the 74HC14D/AUJ datasheet, 74HC14D/AUJ pinout, 74HC14D/AUJ application, or 74HC14D/AUJ equivalent, this device delivers deterministic edge regeneration for slow-rising inputs, supports -40 °C to +125 °C operation, and enables robust clockless timing circuits without external feedback components.
Technical Context
The 74HC14D/AUJ implements six independent CMOS Schmitt-trigger inverters with asymmetric input threshold voltages: VT+ = 1.7–5.9 V and VT− = 0.3–4.2 V across VCC = 2.0–6.0 V. Each channel transforms slow or noisy analog-like transitions into clean digital outputs via built-in hysteresis.
It uses standard HC logic family architecture with clamp diodes on all inputs, enabling safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when current-limiting resistors are applied. Input leakage remains ≤ ±1.0 μA over temperature, and output drive capability is ±25 mA per pin under limiting conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage | 2.0 V to 6.0 V - Enables direct compatibility with 3.3 V and 5 V systems without level shifters. |
| Propagation delay | 12 ns (typ) at VCC = 6.0 V - Supports reliable signal regeneration up to ~40 MHz in multivibrator configurations. |
| Hysteresis voltage | 0.6–1.6 V - Provides noise immunity margin sufficient to reject >300 mV of superimposed interference on input signals. |
| Input threshold (VT+) | 1.7 V (min) at VCC = 4.5 V - Ensures reliable recognition of TTL-level HIGH inputs down to 2.0 V supply. |
| Output drive | ±25 mA (max) - Sufficient to directly drive LEDs, small relays, or fan-out to ≥10 LS-TTL loads. |
| Operating temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - Qualified for under-hood automotive subsystems and industrial motor control environments. |
| ESD rating | HBM >2000 V - Reduces risk of field failure during manual handling or board assembly. |
Pinout & Package
74HC14D/AUJ is housed in an SO14 (SOT108-1) plastic small outline package: 14-pin, 3.9 mm body width, 1.27 mm pitch, 1.75 mm max height. Pin 1 is index-marked; pin 7 is GND; pin 14 is VCC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 13 | Data input (1A–6A) | Schmitt-triggered inputs accepting slow-rising/falling waveforms; clamp diodes allow overvoltage tolerance with series resistors. |
| 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 | Data output (1Y–6Y) | Inverted, jitter-free digital outputs; each capable of sourcing/sinking ≥4 mA at VCC = 4.5 V with defined VOH/VOL. |
| 7 | GND | Reference ground for all inputs, outputs, and internal circuitry; must be connected to system 0 V plane. |
| 14 | VCC | Main supply rail; decoupling capacitor (100 nF) recommended within 5 mm of this pin for stable switching behavior. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide supply range | 2.0–6.0 V operation allows single-part support across legacy 5 V and modern 3.3 V embedded designs. |
| Unlimited input rise/fall times | Eliminates need for external RC networks to meet minimum slew rate requirements in relaxation oscillator or debouncing applications. |
| High noise immunity | Typical 1.25 V hysteresis at VCC = 5 V ensures reliable switching despite >200 mV of broadband noise on sensor or switch inputs. |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 100 mA per JESD78 Class II Level B - prevents destructive latch-up during transient overvoltage events. |
| Multiple package options | SO14 (74HC14D), TSSOP14 (74HC14PW), DHVQFN14 (74HC14BQ) - enables layout flexibility for space-constrained or thermally demanding PCBs. |
Applications
| Waveform Shaping | Astable Multivibrator |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Converting noisy or slowly varying analog sensor outputs (e.g., thermistor divider, potentiometer wiper) into clean square waves for microcontroller capture timers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Six independent Schmitt-trigger inverters act as input conditioners, each providing deterministic zero-crossing detection with hysteresis. Use Value: Eliminates software debouncing overhead and prevents false edge detection caused by EMI or contact bounce in industrial HMI panels. |
Use Scenario: Generating fixed-frequency clock signals for LED flashers, status indicators, or low-speed data transmission where crystal precision is unnecessary. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One inverter plus external R-C network forms a relaxation oscillator; remaining inverters buffer or divide the output. Use Value: Achieves stable oscillation from 1 Hz to 100 kHz using only two passive components per stage-no external crystal or dedicated timer IC required. |
| Monostable Multivibrator | Switch Debouncing |
|
Use Scenario: Creating precise one-shot pulses triggered by mechanical pushbuttons or limit switches in PLC I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Inverter-based edge-triggered monostable circuit generating fixed-duration output pulses independent of input pulse width. Use Value: Guarantees consistent 10–100 ms pulse widths for relay driver activation, eliminating timing drift due to component aging or temperature variation. |
Use Scenario: Cleaning up bounce-prone signals from tactile switches, rotary encoders, or emergency stop buttons in factory automation panels. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-inverter feedback loop with RC timing network provides hardware-level synchronization and metastability suppression. Use Value: Delivers glitch-free digital inputs to FPGA or MCU GPIO pins without firmware polling or interrupt masking delays. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schmitt-trigger inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT14D | TTL-compatible input thresholds (VT+ = 1.2–2.1 V); identical SO14 package and pinout. | Better suited for mixed 5 V TTL/CMOS systems where input VIH min = 2.0 V is insufficient. | Select 74HCT14D when interfacing to legacy 5 V TTL outputs; otherwise retain 74HC14D/AUJ for wider VCC flexibility. |
| SN74LVC14APW | Lower VCC range (1.65–5.5 V); higher speed (tpd = 7.5 ns typ at 3.3 V); TSSOP14-only packaging. | Preferred for battery-powered IoT nodes requiring 1.8 V operation and minimal propagation delay. | Choose SN74LVC14APW only if 1.65 V minimum supply or sub-10 ns timing is mandatory; not drop-in compatible at 2.0 V. |
Compared with 74HCT14D and SN74LVC14APW, the 74HC14D/AUJ offers the broadest supply range (2.0–6.0 V) and highest temperature rating (+125 °C), making it optimal for industrial power supplies and wide-input-range sensor front-ends where voltage headroom and thermal margin are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the 74HC14D/AUJ?
The absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC) for the 74HC14D/AUJ is +7.0 V, but the recommended operating range is 2.0 V to 6.0 V. Operation above 6.0 V risks exceeding static characteristics limits and may degrade long-term reliability. Always observe derating curves for total power dissipation when operating near maximum ratings.
Does the 74HC14D/AUJ support operation at 3.3 V?
Yes, the 74HC14D/AUJ fully supports 3.3 V operation within its specified 2.0–6.0 V range. At VCC = 3.3 V, typical propagation delay is ~19 ns, VT+ is ~2.2 V, and VT− is ~1.0 V - ensuring reliable interfacing with 3.3 V microcontrollers and sensors while maintaining full hysteresis margin.
Can the 74HC14D/AUJ inputs tolerate voltages above VCC?
Yes, the 74HC14D/AUJ inputs include clamp diodes that permit safe operation with input voltages up to VCC + 0.5 V, provided input current is limited to ±20 mA. For inputs exceeding VCC, use a series resistor to restrict current - e.g., a 10 kΩ resistor limits current to <100 μA for a 12 V input at VCC = 5 V.
How many independent Schmitt-trigger inverters does the 74HC14D/AUJ contain?
The 74HC14D/AUJ contains six independent Schmitt-trigger inverters, each with dedicated input (1A–6A) and output (1Y–6Y) pins. All six channels share common VCC (pin 14) and GND (pin 7), and operate simultaneously without crosstalk under recommended conditions.
Is the 74HC14D/AUJ pin-compatible with the 74HCT14D?
Yes, the 74HC14D/AUJ and 74HCT14D share identical SO14 (SOT108-1) packaging and pinout, including pin 1 (1A), pin 7 (GND), pin 14 (VCC), and all six input/output pairs. However, their input threshold voltages differ: 74HC14D/AUJ uses CMOS-ratio thresholds, while 74HCT14D uses TTL-compatible thresholds - verify logic level compatibility before substitution.
