Six Schmitt-trigger inverters in a 14-SOIC
The CD74ACT14M is a hex inverter from the 74ACT family, packing six independent Schmitt-trigger inverters into a 14-SOIC package. Each channel accepts a single input and delivers 24 mA source/sink at the output, with a quiescent draw of just 4 µA. The part operates from a 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply and is specified across the full military temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, making it a fit for avionics, satellite, or downhole instrumentation where the environment pushes beyond industrial limits.
14.5 ns propagation delay — timing margin at 5 V
Maximum propagation delay is 14.5 ns at 5 V, 50 pF. Output drive is 24 mA.
Active, ROHS3, no end-of-life concern
The CD74ACT14M carries an Active product status and ROHS3 compliance. There is no last-time-buy notice or obsolescence risk on this line. For a BOM freeze or a long-production-run design, this part stays available through franchised distribution without the supply anxiety of a phase-out part.
