The MC74VHC14 is an advanced high speed CMOS Schmitt inverter fabricated with silicon gate CMOS technology. It achieves high speed operation similar to equivalent Bipolar Schottky TTL while maintaining CMOS low power dissipation.
Pin configuration and function are the same as the MC74VHC04 but the inputs have hysteresis and, with its Schmitt trigger function, the VHC14 can be used as a line receiver which will receive slow input signals.
The internal circuit is composed of three stages, including a buffer output which provides high noise immunity and stable output. The inputs tolerate voltages up to 7 V, allowing the interface of 5 V systems to 3 V systems.
