Product details
Overview
MC74VHC14D from onsemi is a hex Schmitt-trigger inverter IC designed for noise-immune signal conditioning in digital interfaces. It features six independent inverters with hysteresis (VT+ = 3.85 V, VT− = 1.65 V at VCC = 5.5 V), 5.5 ns typical propagation delay at 5.0 V, full 5.0 V CMOS output swing, and operation across 2.0–5.5 V supply range - enabling robust level translation between 3.3 V and 5.0 V systems.
For engineers reviewing the MC74VHC14D datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device is selected for slow-edge signal reception, EMI-resistant clock buffering, mixed-voltage interface design, and automotive-grade signal conditioning where AEC-Q100 qualification and latchup immunity (>100 mA) are required.
Technical Context
The MC74VHC14D implements silicon-gate CMOS Schmitt-trigger logic with three-stage internal buffering to ensure high noise immunity (VNIH/VNIL = 28% VCC) and stable output drive. Its input structure tolerates up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, allowing safe interfacing between 5 V and lower-voltage subsystems without external clamping.
Each inverter provides balanced tPLH/tPHL propagation delays, hysteresis voltage (VH = 0.50 V typ at VCC = 5.5 V), and low dynamic noise (VOLP ≤ 0.8 V). The device supports hot insertion and battery-backup scenarios via power-down protection on inputs and operates reliably from −55°C to +125°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 5.5 V - enables direct use in both 3.3 V and 5.0 V logic domains without level shifters |
| Propagation Delay (tPD) | 5.5 ns (typ) at VCC = 5.0 V, CL = 15 pF - supports >100 MHz signal edge rates in clean digital paths |
| Hysteresis Voltage (VH) | 0.50 V (typ) at VCC = 5.5 V - rejects noise spikes up to ±250 mV on slow-rising/falling inputs |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | −0.5 V to +6.5 V - permits safe connection to 5 V buses even when VCC = 3.3 V |
| Output Drive Strength | ±8 mA at VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to drive standard CMOS loads and short PCB traces |
| Quiescent ICC | 2.0 µA (max) at TA = 25°C - negligible static power draw in battery-powered wake-up circuits |
| Latchup Immunity | >100 mA - meets JEDEC JESD78 Class II, ensuring robustness against transient current faults |
Pinout & Package
MC74VHC14D is packaged in a 14-lead SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit), case 751A, with 1.27 mm pitch and Pb-free finish. Dimensions: 8.55–8.75 mm × 3.80–4.00 mm × 1.35–1.75 mm height.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 13 | Inverter Input (A1–A6) | Accepts slow or noisy digital signals; Schmitt-trigger threshold rejects sub-threshold glitches |
| 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 | Inverter Output (Y1–Y6) | Provides rail-to-rail CMOS output swing (VOH ≥ 4.4 V, VOL ≤ 0.1 V at VCC = 4.5 V) |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference for all logic and power domains; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| 14 | VCC | Primary supply pin; supports 2.0–5.5 V operation and powers all six inverters and internal buffers |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High Noise Immunity | VNIH = VNIL = 28% VCC ensures reliable switching in industrial EMI environments |
| Wide Supply Range | 2.0–5.5 V operation allows single-device support for 3.3 V microcontrollers and legacy 5 V peripherals |
| Input Overvoltage Tolerance | Inputs withstand −0.5 V to +6.5 V - eliminates need for external clamping diodes in mixed-supply systems |
| Automotive Qualification | AEC-Q100 qualified (−Q suffix variant) with PPAP capability for under-hood and ADAS signal conditioning |
| Low Dynamic Noise | VOLP ≤ 0.8 V (max) reduces crosstalk in dense PCB layouts with shared ground planes |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schmitt-trigger inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LV14APWR | Lower VCC range (1.65–5.5 V); slightly higher tPD (7.5 ns typ @ 3.3 V); no AEC-Q100 qualification | Optimized for ultra-low-voltage portable designs; lacks automotive stress testing and extended temp validation | Select when cost-sensitive consumer applications require LV logic compatibility but not automotive reliability |
| 74HC14D,653 | Slower speed (tPD = 20 ns typ @ 5 V); identical SOIC-14 package; non-AEC-Q100; wider commercial temp range only (−40°C to +125°C) | Suitable for non-safety-critical industrial controls where timing margin is ample and qualification is not mandated | Choose for legacy redesigns requiring drop-in replacement where speed penalty is acceptable and qualification is not required |
Compared with SN74LV14APWR and 74HC14D,653, the MC74VHC14D delivers superior noise immunity (28% VCC hysteresis vs. ~20%), faster propagation (5.5 ns vs. ≥7.5 ns), and verified AEC-Q100 compliance - making it the preferred choice for automotive and high-reliability industrial signal conditioning.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage tolerance for MC74VHC14D?
The MC74VHC14D supports DC input voltages from −0.5 V to +6.5 V, independent of VCC level. This allows safe interfacing with 5 V signals even when powered from 3.3 V, eliminating the need for external clamping diodes in mixed-supply applications. The specification is validated per Absolute Maximum Ratings in the official onsemi datasheet (Rev. 13, Feb 2025).
Does MC74VHC14D support operation at 2.5 V supply?
Yes, MC74VHC14D is fully specified for operation from 2.0 V to 5.5 V. At VCC = 2.5 V, it maintains functional Schmitt thresholds (VT+ ≈ 1.5 V, VT− ≈ 0.7 V), propagation delay <15 ns (CL = 15 pF), and output drive ≥±4 mA - making it suitable for low-power 2.5 V system interfaces and battery-backed monitoring circuits.
Is MC74VHC14D pin-compatible with standard 74HC14 devices?
Yes, MC74VHC14D uses the same 14-pin SOIC package and identical pinout as industry-standard 74HC14 and 74LS14 devices. All six inverter inputs (pins 1,3,5,9,11,13) and outputs (pins 2,4,6,8,10,12) align directly, enabling drop-in replacement in existing PCB layouts - provided system-level timing and voltage compatibility are verified.
What is the hysteresis voltage (VH) of MC74VHC14D at 5.0 V supply?
At VCC = 5.0 V, the MC74VHC14D exhibits a typical hysteresis voltage (VH) of 0.40 V, calculated as VT+ (3.15 V) minus VT− (1.35 V). This value is confirmed in the DC Electrical Characteristics table (page 3 of datasheet Rev. 13) and ensures robust rejection of noise spikes up to ±200 mV on input signals.
Does MC74VHC14D meet AEC-Q100 requirements?
The base MC74VHC14D is not AEC-Q100 qualified; however, the variant MC74VHC14DTR2G−Q* (explicitly referenced in the ordering table) carries the −Q suffix, indicating AEC-Q100 qualification, PPAP capability, and automotive-specific process controls. For automotive applications, the −Q version must be specified and sourced.
