74C14 / 40106

This chip is know by a number of identities. 74C14. It is also marketed as 40106, 40014, and 74HC14.  These are CMOS chips and are characterised by low current consumption, high input impedance and a supply voltage from 5v to 15v. (Do not substitute 7414 or  74LS14. They are TTL chips and operate on 4.5v to 5.5v and have low impedance inputs.)

  • The 74C14 contains 6 Schmitt Trigger gates.
  • Minimum supply voltage 5v
  • Maximum supply voltage 15v
  • Max current per output 10mA
  • Maximum speed of operation 4MHz
  • Current consumption approx 1uA with nothing connected to the inputs or outputs.
