Active production part with automotive qualification
The SN74HC14QDRG4Q1: It is an AEC-Q100 qualified device (Automotive, 74HC series), meaning it passed the reliability stress, temperature cycling, and PPAP requirements for automotive-grade ICs.
Six Schmitt-trigger inverters, 2V to 6V supply
Six independent inverter gates, each with a Schmitt-trigger input that provides hysteresis between the low-level threshold (0.3V to 1.2V) and high-level threshold (1.5V to 4.2V). This built-in noise immunity means a slowly rising or noisy input signal won't cause multiple output transitions — the part cleans up a dirty clock or sensor line without external RC filtering. Output drive is 5.2 mA source and sink at the rated supply — enough to drive a downstream logic input or a low-current LED directly, but not a relay coil or high-capacitance bus without a buffer.
14-SOIC footprint, surface-mount assembly
Packaged in a 14-SOIC (0.154-inch body width, 3.90 mm width), supplier device package 14-SOIC. The 1.27 mm pitch is layout-friendly — two-layer boards fan out the pins without vias.
