74ACT04MTC

Overview

The onsemi 74ACT04MTC is a hex inverter integrated circuit belonging to the 74ACT logic family. It features six independent inverters housed in a 14-pin Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP). The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. It provides high output drive capability with source/sink currents up to 24 mA, ensuring compatibility with TTL inputs while maintaining low static power consumption typical of CMOS technology.

Feature Summary

• Contains six independent inverting channels for signal inversion applications
• Compatible with standard TTL input voltage levels
• High output drive capability supporting direct load driving
• Low static power consumption characteristic of ACT logic family

Applications

• General-purpose digital signal inversion
• Clock signal buffering and conditioning
• Interface between TTL and CMOS logic circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify current manufacturing status as this specific part number may be obsolete or superseded by newer revisions. Confirm package type and tape/reel versus tube packaging requirements with the distributor. Ensure the substitute component matches the original electrical specifications and pinout configuration before integration into existing designs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when six independent inverters are required in a compact surface-mount package. The ACT series offers a balance of speed and power efficiency suitable for 5V systems. Consider alternative packages such as SOIC if TSSOP availability is limited or if different thermal characteristics are needed for the specific application environment.

Part Context

This component is part of the widely used 74ACT series of logic gates, designed to bridge the gap between older TTL standards and modern CMOS performance. The '04' designation specifically indicates a hex inverter function. The MTC suffix denotes the 14-lead TSSOP package format, which is common for space-constrained consumer and industrial electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include MC74ACT04DTR2G. Verify that any replacement maintains the same 14-TSSOP footprint and electrical characteristics to ensure seamless integration without redesigning the printed circuit board.
