Product details
Overview
CD74HC14PW from Texas Instruments is a hex Schmitt-trigger inverter IC in TSSOP-14 package, operating from 2 V to 6 V supply, with –55°C to +125°C temperature range, 6 independent gates, and hysteresis (ΔVT = 0.6 V typical at 6 V) for noise-immune signal conditioning in industrial control interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the CD74HC14PW datasheet, CD74HC14PW pinout, CD74HC14PW application, or CD74HC14PW equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, confirmed TSSOP-14 pin mapping, real-world switching performance (tpd = 23 ns typical at 6 V), thermal resistance (RθJA = 151.7 °C/W), and validated alternatives for robust design-in and BOM continuity.
Technical Context
This device implements six independent CMOS inverters, each with Schmitt-trigger inputs enabling reliable logic-level translation of slow-rising or noisy signals. Its balanced push-pull outputs source/sink up to ±4 mA (at VOH/VOL specs) and support fanout of 10 LSTTL loads.
The input hysteresis (ΔVT = 0.4–1.6 V across VCC range) ensures stable switching despite input noise or slow edges, while the 10 pF input capacitance and 20 pF power dissipation capacitance per gate define dynamic loading behavior in high-speed digital interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2 V to 6 V - enables direct interface with 3.3 V and 5 V logic families without level shifters |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial motor-control environments |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 23 ns typical at 6 V, CL = 50 pF - supports >10 MHz clock inversion in timing-critical paths |
| Hysteresis (ΔVT) | 0.6 V typical at 6 V - rejects noise spikes ≤600 mV peak-to-peak on input signals |
| Output Drive (IOH/IOL) | ±4 mA at 4.5 V - sufficient to drive multiple CMOS inputs or small capacitive loads (<70 pF) |
| Input Capacitance (Ci) | 10 pF - minimizes loading on upstream signal sources such as microcontroller GPIOs |
| Power Dissipation Cap. (Cpd) | 20 pF per gate - used to calculate dynamic power consumption in high-frequency toggle applications |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-14 package (5.00 mm × 4.40 mm body size), 0.65 mm lead pitch, thin shrink small-outline profile suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, 6A | Input | Schmitt-trigger input for corresponding inverter channel; must be terminated to VCC or GND if unused |
| 1Y, 2Y, 3Y, 4Y, 5Y, 6Y | Output | Inverted logic output with CMOS-compatible voltage levels; can be left floating if unused |
| VCC (Pin 14) | Power Supply | Positive supply rail - requires local 0.1 µF bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
| GND (Pin 7) | Ground Reference | Return path for all internal logic and output currents - low-impedance connection critical for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Provides 0.6 V typical hysteresis at 6 V, enabling reliable debouncing of mechanical switches without external RC networks |
| Wide supply range (2–6 V) | Allows single-device compatibility across 3.3 V microcontrollers and legacy 5 V systems without voltage translation |
| –55°C to +125°C operation | Validated for use in extended-temperature industrial automation and automotive engine-control modules |
| Low ICC (2 µA typical) | Reduces quiescent current in battery-backed or always-on monitoring circuits where standby power matters |
| CMOS push-pull outputs | Delivers rail-to-rail output swing and symmetrical rise/fall times (13 ns typical at 6 V, CL = 50 pF) |
Applications
| Switch Debounce Circuit | Signal Edge Sharpening |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex Schmitt-trigger inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HC14PWR | Same logic function, identical TSSOP-14 package, but TI's newer production variant with updated MSL rating (Level-1-260C-UNLIM) and RoHS-compliant NIPDAU finish | Drop-in replacement for new designs; not recommended for legacy qualification where CD74HC14PW-specific test data is required | Select SN74HC14PWR for new designs requiring full RoHS compliance and latest TI manufacturing process controls. |
| MC74HC14ADTR2G | ON Semiconductor part in TSSOP-14; same VCC range and temperature grade, but higher RθJA (160 °C/W vs. 151.7 °C/W) and slightly lower hysteresis (ΔVT = 0.5 V typical at 6 V) | Acceptable for non-thermal-limited applications; may require derating in high-ambient or high-density layouts | Choose MC74HC14ADTR2G only when dual-sourcing is mandated and thermal margin exceeds 10 °C at max load. |
Compared with CD74HC14PW, SN74HC14PWR offers identical electrical behavior with enhanced manufacturability, while MC74HC14ADTR2G provides second-source availability at minor thermal and hysteresis trade-offs - both require validation against specific board-level thermal and noise requirements.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the CD74HC14PW can drive while maintaining specified tpd?
The CD74HC14PW is characterized for CL = 50 pF in its switching specifications, with tpd = 23 ns typical at 6 V. Driving loads >70 pF increases propagation delay nonlinearly and may degrade noise immunity; TI recommends limiting total load to ≤70 pF or adding a series resistor to limit output current per Section 6.1 absolute ratings. For CD74HC14PW, exceeding this value risks violating VOL/VOH specs under heavy capacitive loading.
Does the CD74HC14PW require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?
Unused inputs on the CD74HC14PW must be terminated to either VCC or GND - directly wired, not through resistors - to prevent floating states that cause excessive current draw and potential oscillation. TI's datasheet explicitly states termination "can be directly terminated" for completely unused inputs; 10-kΩ resistors are only advised when inputs are intermittently used. Leaving any input unconnected violates CD74HC14PW reliability guidelines.
Is the CD74HC14PW pin-compatible with the SN74HC14PWR?
Yes, the CD74HC14PW and SN74HC14PWR share identical TSSOP-14 pinout, electrical specifications, and functional behavior. Both have the same 14-pin layout, VCC on Pin 14, GND on Pin 7, and matched inverter channel assignments (1A/1Y through 6A/6Y). The SN74HC14PWR is TI's actively produced successor with identical pin-to-pin compatibility and updated packaging standards.
What is the significance of the 'G4' suffix in CD74HC14PWRG4.A?
The 'G4' suffix in CD74HC14PWRG4.A indicates TI's green packaging standard: lead-free (Pb-free), RoHS-compliant finish with NiPdAu (nickel-palladium-gold) or NiPdAu/Sn (tin) lead termination. It does not affect CD74HC14PW functionality or pinout - it reflects environmental compliance and surface-mount reflow compatibility per JEDEC Level-1 standards. The base CD74HC14PW is obsolete, but CD74HC14PWRG4.A remains active and fully interchangeable.
Can the CD74HC14PW operate reliably at 2.0 V supply with full logic swing?
Yes, the CD74HC14PW is fully specified down to 2.0 V: VOH = 1.9 V (min) and VOL = 0.1 V (max) at IOH/IOL = ±20 µA, confirming rail-to-rail output swing capability. Input thresholds scale accordingly (VT+ = 0.7 V, VT− = 0.3 V), preserving hysteresis margin. This enables CD74HC14PW use in ultra-low-voltage battery-powered systems where 2.0 V operation is mandatory.
