General description

The 74LVC14A provides six inverting buffers with Schmitt trigger input. It is capable of transforming slowly-changing input signals intosharply defined, jitter-free output signals.

The inputs switch at different points for positive and negative-going signals. The differencebetween the positive voltage VT+and the negative voltage VTis defined as the input

hysteresis voltage VH.

Inputs can be driven from either 3.3 V or 5 V devices. This feature allows the use of this device as a translator in mixed 3.3 V and 5 V applications.
