CD74HC14PWR

CD74HC14PWR is a Schmitt-trigger inverter from Texas Instruments in a space-saving TSSOP-14 package, supplied on tape and reel. Schmitt-trigger inputs add hysteresis to the switching threshold, so slow, noisy or bouncing signals from sensors, switches and long cable runs are converted into clean, decisive logic transitions at the output. For design teams this reduces false triggering and intermittent behaviour in control panels, keypads, interface boards and industrial inputs, where real-world signals rarely arrive as perfect square waves. The device belongs to the established CD74HC high-speed CMOS logic family supported by Texas Instruments, and this exact TSSOP-14 tape-and-reel code is listed as active. Selection and sourcing advice: use a Schmitt-trigger inverter wherever an input edge is slow or noisy, for example in the wave-shaping, debounce and simple oscillator positions described in the datasheet, and confirm the TSSOP-14 footprint and pinout against your layout before release, because similar HC14 codes in wider packages are not drop-in alternatives on the same land pattern.
