SN74HC14-Q1 / Operating free-air temperature(Ta)

Guru 29720 points
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SN74HC14-Q1

Hi Team,

The datasheet shows recommended operating conditions of Ta is -40~125℃.
Should I assume the range of Ta as that of Tj (junction temperature) ?

My customer concern if it is recommended the device is operating with Tj=130℃ under Ta=125℃.
Is the above condition within recommended operating condition of SN74HC14-Q1?

Best Regards,
Yaita

  • Hi Yaita San,

    The operating temperature is not the same as junction temperature . The junction temperature is usually greater than the Ta .
    For your reference , the Tstg (storage temperature ) is the same as junction temperature Tj at 150C as mentioned in the abs max table.
  • Hi ShreyasRao-san,

    Thank you for your reply.
    I understood abs max of Tj is 150C.
    Could you answer the following question?

    Is the condition that SN74HC14-Q1 is operating with Tj=130℃ under Ta=125℃ within recommended operating condition of the device?
