74ACT14MTC – FSC

The 74ACT14MTC, manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor (FSC), is a hex Schmitt-trigger inverter integrated circuit fabricated using advanced CMOS technology. This device features six independent inverting channels, each with a Schmitt-trigger input for enhanced noise immunity and signal conditioning. The Schmitt-trigger inputs provide hysteresis, enabling reliable operation with slowly changing or noisy input signals. The device operates from a supply voltage of 4.5V to 5.5V and exhibits TTL-compatible input thresholds. The outputs are capable of driving standard TTL loads. It is packaged in a 14-lead TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package), suitable for surface-mount assembly. The 74ACT14MTC is commonly employed in applications requiring signal shaping, debouncing, and noise suppression, such as in digital logic circuits, clock oscillators, and interface circuits.
