1. General description
The 74HC14; 74HCT14 is a hex inverter with Schmitt-trigger inputs. This device features reduced
input threshold levels to allow interfacing to TTL logic levels. Inputs also include clamp diodes, this
enables the use of current limiting resistors to interface inputs to voltages in excess of VCC. Schmitt
trigger inputs transform slowly changing input signals into sharply defined jitter-free output signals.
2. Features and benefits
