scaling logic signal voltage

[Grumpy_Mike]

Back on topic.
The 74HC4051; 74HCT4051 will handle +/- 5V signals but only need 0 - 5V logic to drive it.

thank you. this has been very insightful... i will opt for using the 74HCT4051! it's exactly what i need.

arschemmel, i apologize and will remember to post the datasheet next time.
