I have a single Schmitt inverter with a capacitor (47nF) between the input and ground, and a resistor (6.8K) between input and output. The chip I am using is a 74HCT14 powered by a battery with Vcc at 6V. The oscillator frequency is around 6kHz.
I thought that the duty cycle of this oscillator would be 50%, as the oscillator should be charging and discharging through the same resistor, but I am finding that the output is high for roughly 3 times longer than low. Why could this be happening?
