The SN54LVC14A hex Schmitt-trigger inverter is designed for 2.7-V to 3.6-V V_CC operation, and the SN74LVC14A hex Schmitt-trigger inverter is designed for 1.65-V to 3.6-V V_CC operation.

The devices contain six independent inverters and perform the Boolean function Y = A.

Inputs can be driven from either 3.3-V or 5-V devices. This feature allows the use of these devices as translators in a mixed 3.3-V or 5-V system environment.
