A range of NXP Inverters and Buffers from the 74HC Family of CMOS Logic ICs. The 74HC Family use silicon gate CMOS technology to achieve operating speeds similar to the LSTTL family but with the low power consumption of standard CMOS integrated circuits.

High-Speed CMOS Logic
Operating Voltage: 2 to 6 V
Compatibility: Input CMOS, Output CMOS

The 74HC14, 74HCT14 is a high-speed Si-gate CMOS device and is pin compatible with Low-power Schottky TTL (LSTTL). The 74HC14, 74HCT14 provides six inverting buffers with Schmitt-trigger action. It is capable of transforming slowly changing input signals into sharply defined, jitter-free output signals.
