Hm, this part looks quite nice for this application. The MCP14E5 is even a dual driver, one inverting, one non inverting. Seems that I could tie the two inputs and two enables together, and have a two control line solution without any external signal inverting. The only area I'm a little hazy on is if I'm able to run the motors on a higher voltage than the PIC this way. According to the MCP14E5 datasheet, logic level 1 on the input is minimum 2.4V, typical 1.5V, which doesn't make any sense. It does seem as though I could run the chip off say 9V, and the PIC off 5V and not require level translation, but I'm not entirely sure. Thanks!
