Inverter Gates FAQ

What is the function of the Schmitt-trigger inputs?

The Schmitt-trigger inputs provide hysteresis, making the device extremely tolerant to slow or noisy input signals.

How should unused inputs be handled?

Unused inputs must be terminated at VCC or GND to prevent undefined operational states caused by floating voltages.
