The CD74HC14M96 is an 8-input Hex Inverter from Texas Instruments. It is an inverting logic device that operates at 3.3V and features Schmitt trigger inputs which can accept input frequencies up to 36MHz. This device is ideal for applications such as level translators, voltage level shifters, active filters, switching circuits, transmission gates, and other logic applications. It is constructed using the advanced silicon-gate CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor) process making it extremely compact and efficient. Furthermore, it is designed to be pin-compatible with other logic devices, making it an ideal choice for mixed-logic designs. In addition, its low power consumption makes it an environmentally friendly choice for green designs.
