Product details
Overview
74HCT14DB,112 from Nexperia is a hex inverting Schmitt trigger IC designed for noise-immune signal conditioning in TTL-level interfacing applications. It features six independent channels, 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply range, ±4.0 mA output drive, Schmitt-trigger hysteresis (0.4–0.6 V typical at VCC = 4.5 V), and operates from –40 °C to +125 °C - used in waveform shaping and relaxation oscillator circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT14DB,112 datasheet, 74HCT14DB,112 pinout, 74HCT14DB,112 application, or 74HCT14DB,112 equivalent, key selection considerations include TTL-compatible input thresholds (VT+ ≈ 1.41 V, VT− ≈ 0.85 V at VCC = 4.5 V), propagation delay (20–34 ns), low static current (≤2 μA typ), and SO14 package compatibility with legacy board layouts.
Technical Context
The 74HCT14DB,112 implements six independent CMOS inverters with Schmitt-trigger inputs, enabling robust conversion of slow-rising or noisy analog-like signals into clean digital edges. Its input clamping diodes allow safe interface to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors.
It adheres to JEDEC JESD7A (2.0–6.0 V) and JESD8C (2.7–3.6 V) standards, supports unlimited input rise/fall times, and delivers jitter-free output transitions via hysteresis (VH ≈ 0.56 V typ at VCC = 4.5 V), making it suitable for astable/monostable multivibrator timing functions without external feedback components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures reliable operation with standard 5 V TTL logic rails and tolerance for rail droop. |
| Input Thresholds (VCC = 4.5 V) | VT+ = 1.41 V, VT− = 0.85 V - enables clean switching on slowly varying inputs with 0.56 V hysteresis. |
| Output Drive | ±4.0 mA - sufficient to directly drive multiple 74-series TTL inputs or small capacitive loads (≤50 pF). |
| Propagation Delay | 20–34 ns (VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF) - supports stable operation up to ~15 MHz in oscillator or pulse-shaping configurations. |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for industrial and under-hood automotive auxiliary control modules. |
| Static Supply Current | ≤2.0 μA (typ), ≤40 μA (max at +125 °C) - enables ultra-low-power standby in battery-backed timing circuits. |
| ESD Protection | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - reduces risk of field failure during handling and PCB assembly. |
Pinout & Package
74HCT14DB,112 uses the SO14 (SOT108-1) plastic small outline package: 14-pin, 3.9 mm body width, 1.27 mm lead pitch, gull-wing leads. Pin 1 is index-marked; device is surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 13 | Input (1A–6A) | Schmitt-trigger inputs - accept slow or noisy signals; clamp diodes permit overvoltage-safe interfacing. |
| 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 | Output (1Y–6Y) | Inverted outputs - drive TTL/CMOS loads with defined VOH/VOL levels and ±4 mA capability. |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference - must be connected to system 0 V plane for correct logic threshold referencing. |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply - decoupling capacitor (100 nF ceramic) required within 5 mm for stable high-speed operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | VT+ = 1.41 V, VT− = 0.85 V at VCC = 4.5 V - eliminates need for level-shifters when interfacing with legacy 5 V microcontrollers or sensors. |
| Unlimited input edge rates | Supports arbitrarily slow rise/fall times - enables direct use with RC networks, thermistors, or mechanical switch debouncing without added circuitry. |
| Low dynamic power dissipation | CPD = 8 pF - limits switching power to <100 μW at 1 MHz, critical for energy-constrained embedded timing nodes. |
| Industrial temperature range | –40 °C to +125 °C - validated for continuous operation in motor control enclosures and power supply monitoring circuits. |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 100 mA per JESD78 Class II Level B - prevents destructive parasitic thyristor activation during transient overvoltage events. |
Applications
| Waveform Shaping | Astable Multivibrator |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Converting noisy sine-wave or triangle-wave sensor outputs into clean square waves for microcontroller capture timers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Signal conditioner - transforms analog-like inputs into deterministic digital edges using Schmitt hysteresis. Use Value: Eliminates false triggering in position/speed sensing systems by rejecting sub-threshold noise without external filtering components. |
Use Scenario: Generating fixed-frequency clock signals for LED flashers or status indicators using only two external resistors and one capacitor. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Oscillator core - leverages internal inverter gain and external RC feedback to sustain oscillation. Use Value: Reduces BOM count and PCB area versus discrete transistor-based oscillators while maintaining frequency stability across temperature. |
| Monostable Multivibrator | Switch Debouncing |
|
Use Scenario: Creating precise, repeatable pulse widths (e.g., 10–100 ms) from momentary push-button presses in industrial HMI panels. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Pulse generator - converts edge-triggered inputs into controlled-duration outputs via RC time constant. Use Value: Provides consistent, jitter-free timing independent of contact bounce duration or operator actuation speed. |
Use Scenario: Cleaning mechanical switch signals before feeding into FPGA I/O banks or microcontroller GPIOs in factory automation controls. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Digital filter - suppresses transients <100 ns using hysteresis, eliminating need for software debounce delays. Use Value: Guarantees single, clean logic transition per press - critical for safety-critical enable/disable functions. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex inverting Schmitt trigger applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT14D,653 | Same SO14 package, identical electrical specs, but rated only to +85 °C ambient (not +125 °C). | Not suitable for under-hood or high-temperature industrial environments where full -40/+125 °C operation is required. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs extended temperature needs and thermal margin is sufficient. |
| SN74HCT14DR | Texas Instruments variant; same logic function and pinout, but higher ICC (max 20 μA vs. 40 μA) and tighter VOH/VOL tolerances. | Preferred in systems requiring stricter output voltage compliance with legacy 74LS loads or mixed-vendor designs. | Choose when interoperability with TI-based reference designs or tighter DC specs are mandatory. |
Compared with 74HCT14DB,112, the 74HCT14D,653 sacrifices high-temperature reliability for lower cost, while SN74HCT14DR offers tighter DC specs at the expense of broader supply voltage tolerance (4.5–5.5 V vs. TI's 4.5–5.5 V with tighter test conditions), making the Nexperia part optimal for thermally demanding, cost-sensitive industrial timing.

FAQ
Can 74HCT14DB,112 operate from a 3.3 V supply?
No. The 74HCT14DB,112 is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation per its recommended conditions table. At 3.3 V, input thresholds fall outside TTL compatibility range and output drive degrades significantly; use 74HC14 or 74LVC14 for 3.3 V systems instead.
What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive reliably?
The 74HCT14DB,112 is characterized up to 50 pF (per dynamic characteristics table). Driving >50 pF increases propagation delay nonlinearly and may cause ringing; for >100 pF loads, add a series resistor (22–47 Ω) near the output to dampen reflections and maintain edge integrity.
Does this part support hot-swap or live-insertion?
No. The 74HCT14DB,112 lacks powered-off protection or Ioff specification. Applying input signals while VCC is unpowered risks forward-biasing internal clamp diodes and causing excessive current flow - always power VCC before applying inputs.
How does the Schmitt trigger hysteresis improve performance in noisy environments?
Hysteresis creates separate rising (VT+) and falling (VT−) thresholds - e.g., 1.41 V and 0.85 V at 4.5 V - so noise spikes <0.56 V cannot cause unintended output toggling. This eliminates multiple transitions on slow edges, ensuring one clean edge per input crossing, critical for encoder or limit-switch interfaces.
