  • Hex: 6 (logic gates in this case)
  • NOT logic gate: Output is the inverse of the input. If the input signal is high, then the output is low. Whereas, if the input signal is low, then the output is high.
    1. High is often close to 5V. Also commonly called a 1. May indicate that something is on.
    2. Low is usually close to 0V. Also commonly called 0. May indicate that something is off.
  • Schmitt Trigger: There is a middle ground input voltage (hysteresis) where the output stays in either the high or low state in order to prevent rapid triggering back and forth. The output stays in whichever state it was last put in to until the signal exceeds the other hysteresis point.
