[Techtoolslist] HD74HC14 for HD74LS14

[Martin White]

AFAIK, HC = High speed CMOS, LS = Low Power Schokkety (sp?)

According to what i have read, you can use them interchangeably ONLY if all of 
the inputs and outputs are connected (which they probably are, but you'd need 
to check!).

The ones that are properly compatible are the 74HCT14 as HCT = High speed Cmos 
with TTL compatible inputs and outputs (hence HCT).

Best bet would be to try it, although if you're ordering in, i guess this is 
not the best route!

Hope that helps,
Martin.
