Hi, im fairly new to electronics so i'm a little confused.
Basically I have a 4069 Microchip as shown below
**broken link removed**
Now from what I understand, the chip needs to be powered using pin 7 as the negative and 14 as the positive (please correct me if i'm wrong).
Also, the signal which I want to invert using pin 1 is too powerful (12v at 10 amps), or so I believe it is, should I use a resistor to lower the voltage, and if so what should the voltage be for this as well.
Something else that I also don't understand, is why do we need to power the chip, when I'am putting a voltage through pin 1 anyway.
Finally, what do I need to do with the other unused pins, if anything?
Sorry if I sound silly, but after a day of searching around on the internet, I have become a little confused.
Thanks in advance for your help
