74HC14PW,118

74HC14PW is a hex Schmitt-trigger inverter in a 14-pin Plastic DIP (PW) package. It contains six independent inverters with Schmitt-trigger inputs, ideal for cleaning noisy or slowly changing signals and for timing/oscillator circuits. Typical supply is Vcc = 2–6 V (5 V common); inputs have hysteresis to reject chatter; CMOS low static power; outputs can drive moderate loads. Include a 0.1 μF decoupling cap near Vcc.
Pinout (DIP14):
- 1A → 1Y (pins 1,2)
- 2A → 2Y (pins 3,4)
- 3A → 3Y (pins 5,6)
- GND (pin 7)
- 4A → 4Y (pins 8,9)
- 5A → 5Y (pins 10,11)
- 6A → 6Y (pins 12,13)
- Vcc (pin 14)
Truth: Y = NOT(A) for each inverter (with input hysteresis). Applications include debouncing, waveform shaping, and simple RC oscillators. “118” is likely a date/lot code; verify from the supplier’s datasheet for exact packaging and specs.
