74LS14 IC

Description

Introduction to 74LS14 IC

There is an IC name 74LS14 is used as an inverting Schmitt trigger. It comes up with six triggers that can be used easily. The single Schmitt trigger circuit may seem larger in size but the IC has a smaller size and also comes in multiple packages. IC 74LS14 uses a single power supply to all the triggers and can be used to operate with any TTL based device. These circuits can be easily operated in any environment and can be triggered easily with the slowest input ramps.

74LS14 is a Schmitt trigger hex 8-bit inverter IC. In electronics devices, Schmitt Trigger is one the comparator-based circuit which gives the output on the based the previous output. In Schmitt Trigger the input value can be analog or digital but the output will be in two forms 1 or 0. Any circuit is convertible to Schmitt trigger by applying a positive feedback system. In this circuit, the threshold is being used to get output. When the value is higher than the threshold the output will be HIGH otherwise it will be considered in the LOW state. These circuits are not only used to convert analog to digital, but it also helps to remove the noise from the signal.
