The Schmitt-trigger hysteresis on each of the six gates provides clean output switching from noisy or slow-rising input signals — a common requirement for oscillator circuits, switch debounce, and line receivers in industrial or mixed-signal boards. ## Supply range and temperature grade Rated for 2V to 6V supply, the CD74HC14M96 operates across the full 74HC voltage window. Quiescent current maxes at 2 µA, so the standby power penalty is negligible even in battery-backed systems. ## Output drive and timing Each output sources or sinks 5.2 mA — sufficient to drive a standard CMOS load or a low-current LED directly. Propagation delay is 23 ns typical at 6V with a 50 pF load, which sets the timing floor for cascaded gates in a clock or data path. The input logic thresholds (low: 0.3V–1.2V, high: 1.5V–4.2V at 2V–6V supply) are asymmetric due to the Schmitt action, so the trip points shift with VCC. ## Sourcing and compliance Lifecycle status is Active, with ROHS3 compliance. The part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) or Cut Tape (CT) options. Sourced per RFQ against BOM quantities — confirm the 14-SOIC footprint and mating half before committing.","metaTitle":"CD74HC14M96 Texas Instruments 74HC Hex Schmitt-Trigger","metaDescription":"CD74HC14M96 from Texas Instruments, 74HC series, hex inverter with Schmitt-trigger inputs, 2V-6V supply, -55°C to 125°C, 14-SOIC.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"74HC","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Crystals & Oscillators"],"specifications":{"Series":"74HC","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR); Cut Tape (CT)","Features":"Schmitt Trigger","Logic Type":"Inverter","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Package / Case":"14-SOIC (0.154\\\", 3.90mm Width)","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Number of Inputs":"1","Voltage - Supply":"2V ~ 6V","Number of Circuits":"6","Operating Temperature":"-55°C ~ 125°C","Input Logic Level - Low":"0.3V ~ 1.2V","Supplier Device Package":"14-SOIC","Input Logic Level - High":"1.5V ~ 4.2V","Current - Quiescent (Max)":"2 µA","Current - Output High, Low":"5.2mA, 5.2mA","Max Propagation Delay @ V, Max CL":"23ns @ 6V, 50pF"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$0.53","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$0.53000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$0.42800","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$0.39200","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$0.29170","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$0.26432","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$0.21876","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$0.16407","currency":"USD"},{"qty":2500,"price":"$0.15040","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5000,"price":"$0.14128","currency":"USD"},{"qty":12500,"price":"$0.13217","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25000,"price":"$0.12898","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/8ea50f62046bf616bbc7efc98272a49d.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where to buy CD74HC14M96 and how is it quoted?","answer":"We source it per RFQ against your BOM quantity — no stock-holding claim, no firm price on-page.

For a pin-compatible hex inverter with Schmitt inputs, the SN74HCS04PWR (74HCS series) offers similar propagation delay (16 ns at 6V) and a wider supply range, though its temperature grade is -40°C to 125°C."},{"question":"Can CD74HC14M96 be used as an oscillator?","answer":"Yes. The Schmitt-trigger hysteresis allows the CD74HC14M96 to form a relaxation oscillator with one external RC network per gate. Typical configurations use a single inverter with a feedback resistor and capacitor to ground; the hysteresis sets the switching thresholds, producing a square wave without a separate comparator."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/texas-instruments/CD74HC14M96","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/texas-instruments/CD74HC14M96 when reusing this data.
