The TC74ACT14 is an advanced high speed CMOS SCHMITT INVERTER fabricated with silicon gate and double-layer metal wiring C2MOS technology. It achieves the high speed operation similar to equivalent Bipolar Schottky TTL while maintaining the CMOS low power dissipation. This device may be used as a level converter for interfacing TTL or NMOS to High Speed CMOS. The inputs are compatible with TTL, NMOS and CMOS output voltage levels. Pin configuration and function are the same as the TC74ACT04 but the inputs have hysteresis and with its schmitt trigger function, the TC74ACT14 can be used as a line receivers which will receive slow input signals. All inputs are equipped with protection circuits against static discharge or transient excess voltage.
