Note also that the hysteresis of logic gates with Schmitt inputs is 
WAY too much to be optimal for squaring sine waves (300mV minimum, 
typically 400 to 450mV, for the 74LVC14).  Fast comparators with 
internal hysteresis are optimized for that sort of thing (the LT1719 
and LT1720 have a few mV of hysteresis).
