Features:

  • Six Schmitt-trigger inverters for stable and noise-free output
  • Wide operating voltage range: 3V to 15V
  • High noise immunity
  • Low power consumption
  • Wide operating temperature range: -40°C to +125°C
  • Easy to use with minimal external components

Principle of Work:

Each inverter in the 40106 switches its output based on two distinct threshold voltage levels, ensuring stable transitions. Logic high input produces a logic low output, and logic low input produces a logic high output.

Pinout:

  • Debouncing circuits
  • Hysteresis controllers
  • Dead band filters

Example Circuit:

Oscillator blinking an LED at about 1Hz using 40106, 9V battery, 100µF capacitor, two 10kΩ resistors, and LED.

40106 Example Circuit

Technical Details:

  • Schmitt Trigger – Hex Inverter
  • Operating Voltage: 5V
  • Low-Level Hysteresis Voltage: 0.3V
  • High-Level Hysteresis Voltage: 3.5V
  • Output Current High: -1mA
  • Output Current Low: 1mA
  • Quiescent Current: 40nA
  • Propagation Delay: 280ns
  • Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to +125°C

Comparisons:

Compared to the 74HC14, the 40106 supports a wider supply voltage (3V to 15V vs 2V to 6V) and offers higher input impedance, while the 74HC14 provides lower output impedance and higher speed. Both provide six Schmitt-trigger inverters.
