74ACT14SCX – FSC

The 74ACT14SCX, manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor (FSC), is a hex Schmitt-trigger inverter integrated circuit fabricated using advanced CMOS technology. It comprises six independent inverting gates, each with a Schmitt-trigger input stage to provide enhanced noise immunity and signal conditioning. The Schmitt-trigger inputs exhibit hysteresis, with specified positive-going (VT+) and negative-going (VT-) threshold voltages, enabling reliable switching even with slow or noisy input signals. The device operates from a supply voltage (VCC) typically in the range of 4.5V to 5.5V. The outputs are capable of driving standard TTL loads. The 74ACT14SCX is housed in a 14-pin Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package, suitable for surface-mount assembly. It is commonly used in applications requiring signal shaping, debouncing, and noise suppression.
