74AHCT14 - Logic Level Inverter / Level Shifter

A hex Schmitt-trigger inverter IC that doubles as a handy logic level shifter. The 74AHCT14 provides six independent inverter channels, each with Schmitt-trigger inputs for clean switching on noisy or slow-transitioning signals.

Spec'd for 5V operation but works at 3V as well. High-level inputs can be as low as 2V, and the output is inverted on each of the six channels. DIP package for easy breadboard and perfboard use.
