74HC14DB,112 datasheet by NXP Semiconductors

74HC14DB,112 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum operating frequency of the 74HC14DB,112?
  The maximum operating frequency of the 74HC14DB,112 is 100 MHz.
• Can I use the 74HC14DB,112 in a 5V system?
  Yes, the 74HC14DB,112 is compatible with 5V systems, but it's recommended to use a voltage regulator to ensure a stable 5V supply.
• How do I handle the Schmitt trigger inputs to prevent oscillation?
  To prevent oscillation, ensure that the input signals have a fast rise and fall time (>10 ns) and are not slowly changing. Also, use a pull-up or pull-down resistor to define the input state when the input signal is not present.
• What is the recommended power-on reset (POR) circuit for the 74HC14DB,112?
  A simple POR circuit can be implemented using a resistor, capacitor, and diode. The capacitor should be charged to the supply voltage through the resistor, and the diode should be used to discharge the capacitor when the power is turned off.
• Can I use the 74HC14DB,112 as a simple inverter or buffer?
  Yes, the 74HC14DB,112 can be used as a simple inverter or buffer by connecting the input to the output through a resistor. However, this is not a recommended use case, as the device is designed for Schmitt trigger applications.
