74HC1GU04GW/C125

Overview

The 74HC1GU04GW/C125 is a single unbuffered inverter manufactured by Nexperia, operating within the 74HC logic family. It utilizes high-speed silicon-gate CMOS technology and supports a wide supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 6.0 V. The device features symmetrical output impedance and balanced propagation delays, with standard output current capabilities. It is housed in a compact 5-pin package, specifically SC-74A or SOT-353, designed for surface-mount applications. The component operates reliably across an extended temperature range from -40°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides single-stage inverting function using high-speed Si-gate CMOS technology
• Features symmetrical output impedance and balanced propagation delays
• Operates over a wide voltage range from 2.0 V to 6.0 V
• Housed in a very small 5-pin package suitable for space-constrained designs

Applications

• Signal inversion in digital logic circuits
• Clock signal conditioning
• Level shifting between different voltage domains
• General-purpose logic buffering

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C125' against official Nexperia documentation, as standard commercial variants typically use suffixes like '125'. Confirm RoHS compliance status and ensure the ordering part number matches the exact package type (SC-74A/SOT-353) required for your PCB footprint. Cross-reference datasheet revision dates to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics remain unchanged.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single inverter is required in minimal space. It offers standard output drive capability compared to buffered versions. Ensure the application voltage stays within the 2V to 6V range. Consider the propagation delay specifications if timing constraints are critical. Verify thermal requirements for operation up to 125°C ambient temperature.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Nexperia 74HC series of high-speed CMOS logic devices. The '1G' designation indicates a single gate configuration, while 'U' signifies unbuffered output. The '04' identifies the inverter function. These components are widely used in consumer electronics and industrial control systems where low power consumption and small form factors are prioritized.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the 74HC1GU04GV and 74HC1GU04GW from Nexperia. Other manufacturers offer equivalent single inverters such as the TC7SU04F from Toshiba. Verify pin compatibility and electrical parameters before substitution.
