Instructions for Use:

1. Supply Voltage (V_CC):

   • Ensure the supply voltage is within the range of 2.0V to 5.5V.
   • The device is designed to operate over this wide range, providing flexibility in various applications.

2. Input Levels:

   • For reliable operation, ensure that input signals are within the specified input low (V_IL) and input high (V_IH) voltage levels.
   • V_IL should be less than or equal to 1.35V when V_CC is 4.5V.
   • V_IH should be greater than or equal to 2.6V when V_CC is 4.5V.

3. Output Levels:

   • The output low voltage (V_OL) should not exceed 0.4V when sourcing up to 4mA.
   • The output high voltage (V_OH) should be at least 4.1V when sinking up to 0.4mA.

4. Propagation Delay (t_pd):

   • The typical propagation delay time is 9ns at 25°C with a supply voltage of 4.5V.
   • This value can vary between 9ns and 18ns depending on operating conditions.

5. Power Dissipation (P_D):

   • The maximum power dissipation per package is 150mW. Ensure proper heat management if operating near this limit.

6. Temperature Ranges:

   • The operating temperature range is from -40°C to 85°C.
   • The storage temperature range is from -65°C to 150°C.

7. Handling Precautions:

   • Handle the 74LV14N with care to avoid static damage.
   • Ensure all connections are secure and free from shorts or open circuits.

8. Application Notes:

   • The 74LV14N is a hex Schmitt-trigger inverter, suitable for cleaning up noisy digital signals.
   • Each inverter has hysteresis, which helps in filtering out noise and stabilizing the output.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure optimal performance and reliability of the 74LV14N in your application.
