Product details
Overview
MC74ACT14MR1 from onsemi is a hex Schmitt-trigger inverter IC with TTL-compatible inputs, 5 V supply operation, 24 mA output drive capability, and 1.0 V typical hysteresis-used for noise-immune signal conditioning in digital interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MC74ACT14MR1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include input threshold compatibility with 5 V TTL logic families, guaranteed hysteresis for slow-edge signal cleanup, output sourcing/sinking performance at temperature extremes, and SOIC-14 package suitability for industrial control PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MC74ACT14MR1 implements six independent Schmitt-trigger inverters with asymmetric input thresholds (Vt+ ≈ 2.0 V, Vt− ≈ 0.8 V at VCC = 4.5 V), enabling reliable waveform shaping of noisy or slowly transitioning signals. Its internal hysteresis is transistor-ratio-based and stable across −40°C to +85°C ambient and 4.5–5.5 V supply range.
Each inverter provides rail-to-rail CMOS output levels with ±24 mA DC drive strength, supports 50 pF load capacitance, and achieves tPLH/tPHL ≤ 12.5 ns/11.0 ns (max) at VCC = 5.0 V, CL = 50 pF. Input leakage remains ≤ ±1.0 µA over full operating range.
Key Specifications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LV14APWR | 3.3 V only operation (1.65–3.6 V); lower drive (±12 mA); no TTL input compatibility | Suitable for low-voltage portable designs but incompatible with 5 V TTL source signals | Select when migrating to 3.3 V systems and replacing legacy 74ACT14 in non-TTL contexts |
| 74HC14D,653 | CMOS-only inputs (no TTL compatibility); higher hysteresis (≈1.5 V typ); same 5 V operation and SOIC-14 package | Accepts only CMOS-level inputs; better noise margin but requires upstream level shifting for TTL sources | Prefer when interfacing exclusively with 5 V CMOS logic and maximum hysteresis is prioritized over TTL compatibility |
Compared with SN74LV14APWR and 74HC14D,653, the MC74ACT14MR1 uniquely supports direct connection to 5 V TTL outputs while maintaining industrial temperature range and 24 mA drive-making it optimal for brownfield industrial upgrades where legacy signal sources remain in place.

FAQ
What logic family does the MC74ACT14MR1 belong to, and how does it differ from standard 74AC devices?
The MC74ACT14MR1 belongs to the 74ACT (Advanced CMOS TTL-compatible) logic family. Unlike standard 74AC devices, which accept only CMOS-level inputs, the MC74ACT14MR1 features TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V), allowing direct interfacing with 74LS and other TTL outputs without level shifters. This distinction is explicitly defined in the device's Recommended Operating Conditions and Input Characteristics tables.
Does the MC74ACT14MR1 support operation at 3.3 V?
No, the MC74ACT14MR1 is not rated for 3.3 V operation. Its Recommended Operating Conditions specify a minimum supply voltage of 4.5 V and maximum of 5.5 V. Attempting to operate the MC74ACT14MR1 at 3.3 V may result in undefined input thresholds, degraded noise margin, and unreliable output switching. For 3.3 V systems, consider the SN74LV14A or 74LVC14 series instead.
What is the guaranteed hysteresis range for the MC74ACT14MR1 across temperature and voltage?
The MC74ACT14MR1 guarantees a minimum hysteresis of 0.4 V and maximum of 1.6 V across −40°C to +85°C and 4.5–5.5 V supply, per the INPUT CHARACTERISTICS table. Typical hysteresis is 1.0 V at VCC = 4.5 V. This internally generated hysteresis is process-ratio-based and intentionally insensitive to supply and temperature variation-ensuring consistent noise rejection in demanding environments.
Can the MC74ACT14MR1 drive a 50 pF capacitive load reliably at full speed?
Yes, the MC74ACT14MR1 is fully characterized for 50 pF load capacitance, with AC specifications (tPLH, tPHL) guaranteed up to 12.5 ns/11.0 ns max at VCC = 5.0 V and TA = −40°C to +85°C. The device's 24 mA output drive strength and low output impedance ensure stable edge rates into this load, as confirmed in the AC CHARACTERISTICS section of the official datasheet.
Is the MC74ACT14MR1 pin-compatible with the MC74AC14MR1?
Yes, the MC74ACT14MR1 and MC74AC14MR1 share identical pinout, package (SOIC-14), and functional assignment-both contain six Schmitt-trigger inverters in the same 14-pin layout. However, they differ electrically: MC74AC14MR1 uses CMOS-only inputs (VIL/VIH referenced to VCC), while MC74ACT14MR1 provides TTL-compatible inputs. Swapping them requires verifying input signal levels in the target system.
