74HC14 Schmitt inverter (DIP-14)

Digital logic · Hex NOT with hysteresis

74HC14 hex Schmitt-trigger inverter · 2–6 V · switches high at about 0.55 V_CC rising and low at about 0.37 V_CC falling, so slow or noisy edges give one clean transition · DIP-14, VCC pin 14, GND pin 7

How to use it

Cleans up slow or noisy edges: debounced buttons, RC oscillators (one gate, one R, one C), squaring up sine waves, power-on reset delays.
