onsemi 74AC14MTCX 74AC Hex Inverter, Schmitt Trigger

The onsemi 74AC14MTCX is a hex inverter from the 74AC series, integrating six independent inverter gates each with a single input. The Schmitt trigger action on every input provides hysteresis, which cleans up noisy or slow-rising edges — a common requirement in signal conditioning for clock lines, switch debounce, or sensor interfaces where a clean logic transition is needed. Quiescent current is a maximum of 2 µA, making it suitable for power-sensitive designs where the inverter bank sits idle most of the time. Output drive capability is symmetrical at 24 mA source and 24 mA sink, which is sufficient to drive a standard CMOS load or a low-power LED indicator directly. Propagation delay is 10 ns maximum at 5V with a 50 pF load, placing it in the mid-speed range for the 74AC family — fast enough for most control and data-path applications below 50 MHz.
