- Independence of power-supply sequence considerations - VCC can exceed VDD; input signals can exceed both VCC and VDD
- Up and down level-shifting capability
- Shiftable input threshold for either CMOS or TTL compatibility
- Standardized symmetrical output characteristics
- 100% tested for quiescent current @ 20 V
- Maximum input current of 1 µA at 18 V over full package-temperature range; 100 nA at 18 V and 25°C
- 5V, 10 V, and 15 V parametric ratings
- Meets all requirements of JEDEC Standard No. 13B, "Standard Specifications for Description of ’B’ Series CMOS Devices"
