The MC14490PG from onsemi is a hex contact bounce eliminator IC designed to mitigate signal noise and mechanical switch bounce in digital circuits. Part of the 4000 series, this through-hole-mounted device operates across a wide supply voltage range (3V to 18V), making it versatile for both low and high-voltage applications. Housed in a 16-pin DIP package, it integrates six independent debounce circuits, each capable of filtering transient signals from mechanical switches, relays, or sensors. With REACH Unaffected status and Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1, it is suitable for industrial and consumer electronics requiring robust performance.
The MC14490PG excels in applications demanding noise-free switching signals, offering six-channel debouncing with broad voltage compatibility. While obsolete, its durability and simplicity make it a pragmatic choice for repairs or designs prioritizing reliability over cutting-edge integration. Engineers value its ease of use in through-hole designs and proven performance in harsh electrical environments. For legacy systems or cost-sensitive projects, this IC remains a functional solution despite newer alternatives.
