CD74HC14M96E4 datasheet by Texas Instruments

CD74HC14M96E4 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended operating voltage range for the CD74HC14M96E4?
  The recommended operating voltage range for the CD74HC14M96E4 is 2V to 6V, with a typical voltage of 5V.
• How do I handle the Schmitt trigger inputs to avoid oscillations?
  To avoid oscillations, ensure that the input signals have a slew rate of at least 10 mV/ns and use a pull-up or pull-down resistor to define the input state when the input signal is not present.
• What is the maximum frequency of operation for the CD74HC14M96E4?
  The maximum frequency of operation for the CD74HC14M96E4 is typically 25 MHz, but it can vary depending on the operating voltage, temperature, and load conditions.
• Can I use the CD74HC14M96E4 as a level shifter?
  Yes, the CD74HC14M96E4 can be used as a level shifter, but it's essential to ensure that the input signal is within the recommended voltage range and that the output is properly terminated to avoid signal reflections.
• How do I choose the correct pull-up or pull-down resistor values for the inputs?
  Choose pull-up or pull-down resistor values between 1 kΩ and 10 kΩ, depending on the input signal frequency, voltage, and load conditions. A higher resistor value can help reduce power consumption, but may increase the input signal rise time.
