The TC1411/TC1411N are 1A CMOS buffers/drivers. They will not latch-up under any conditions within their power and voltage ratings. They are not subject to damage when up to 5V of noise spiking of either polarity occurs on the ground pin. They can accept, without damage or logic upset, up to 500 mA of current of either polarity being forced back into their output. All terminals are fully protected against up to 4 kV of electrostatic discharge.
