74F04PC

Inverter Gates Overview

The onsemi 74F04PC is a hex inverter integrated circuit housed in a 14-lead Plastic Dual-In-Line (PDIP) package. It contains six independent gates performing the logic INVERT function. The device operates within a supply voltage range of +4.5V to +5.5V and an ambient temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. Key electrical characteristics include an input HIGH voltage threshold of 2.0V and an input LOW voltage threshold of 0.8V. Propagation delays are specified at 5.0ns maximum for tPLH and 4.3ns maximum for tPHL under standard conditions.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Contains six independent inverters within a single package
• Supports standard TTL logic levels with defined voltage thresholds
• Designed for surface or through-hole mounting via PDIP configuration

Inverter Gates Applications

• Signal inversion in digital logic circuits
• Clock signal generation and conditioning
• Logic level translation interfaces

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code suffix to confirm the package type, as the datasheet indicates devices are also available in Tape and Reel formats with an appended 'X' suffix. Ensure the procurement specification matches the required physical form factor. Confirm that the component meets the necessary environmental compliance standards prior to integration into the final assembly design.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-speed hex inverter is required for general-purpose digital applications. The F/FAST series offers faster switching speeds compared to standard TTL variants. Consider the PDIP package constraints if board space allows for larger footprints. Verify that the operating temperature range aligns with the intended deployment environment requirements.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This component belongs to the 74F series of logic integrated circuits, known for their fast propagation delays. Originally manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor, the product line has been transitioned to onsemi. The 74F04 serves as a fundamental building block for complex digital systems requiring multiple inversion stages without consuming excessive board area.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other manufacturers' 74F04 equivalents. Verify pin compatibility and electrical specifications before substitution. Note that some variants may differ in packaging options or operating temperature ranges.
