What Is CD40106BM96?
The CD40106BM96 is a hex inverting Schmitt trigger IC, meaning it contains six independent inverters with hysteresis built into each input. Unlike a regular inverter, a Schmitt trigger responds not only to logic thresholds but also provides noise rejection by introducing a differential threshold between high-to-low and low-to-high transitions.
This makes it ideal for digitizing slow or noisy analog signals into clean logic levels — a must-have in environments where electrical noise, interference, or signal bounce is common.
Key Features of CD40106BM96
-
✅ Supply voltage range: 3V to 15V
