74ACT04CW

Overview

The onsemi 74ACT04CW is a hex inverter integrated circuit belonging to the 74ACT logic family. It features six independent inverters with CMOS inputs and TTL-compatible thresholds, operating within a supply voltage range of 2V to 6V. The device provides high noise immunity and low power consumption typical of ACT technology. It supports output drive currents of up to 24mA for both sourcing and sinking. The component is housed in a 14-pin SOIC surface-mount package and is rated for operation across an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Hex inverter configuration with six independent channels
• TTL-compatible input thresholds for direct interface with TTL logic
• High noise immunity and low power dissipation characteristics

Applications

• Clock signal buffering and inversion in digital systems
• Level shifting between different logic families
• General-purpose logic inversion in consumer electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CW' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical specifications. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact package type and temperature grade required for your design. Cross-reference with authorized distributors to confirm current availability and authenticity before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a hex inverter with TTL-compatible inputs is required within a 2V to 6V supply range. It is suitable for applications needing moderate drive strength and low power consumption. Consider the 14-pin SOIC package constraints for PCB layout. Verify that the operating temperature range meets the environmental requirements of the target application.

Part Context

This component is part of the 74ACT series, which combines the speed of AC logic with the noise immunity of CMOS. The 74ACT04 variant specifically provides six inverters. It is designed to replace older 74HC or 74HCT devices where faster switching speeds are needed while maintaining compatibility with existing TTL-based designs.

Replacement Considerations

Check for equivalent parts such as 74ACT04SCX or other manufacturers' 74ACT04 variants. Ensure pin-to-pin compatibility and identical electrical parameters like propagation delay and output current capabilities before substitution.
