FAIRCHILD 74LVC14 handbook
The document describes the Fairchild Semiconductor 74LCX14, which contains six inverter gates each featuring a Schmitt trigger input. This design allows for transforming slowly changing signals into sharply defined outputs while providing greater noise margin than conventional inverters.
Key features include inputs that tolerate voltages up to 7V, enabling the interface of 5V, 3V, and 2.5V systems. The device operates with a supply voltage range of 2.0V to 3.6V for normal operation and is available in various packages including SOIC, SOP, TSSOP, and DQFN.
