74HCU04DB,112

Inverter Gates Overview

The Nexperia 74HCU04DB,112 is a hex unbuffered inverter housed in a 14-lead SSOP package (SOT337-1). It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 6.0 V and supports an ambient temperature range from -40 °C to +125 °C. The device features balanced propagation delays with maximum values up to 18 ns at 6.0 V and 50 pF load. Static characteristics include high-level output voltages up to 5.2 V at -5.2 mA and low-level output voltages down to 0.4 V at 5.2 mA.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Hex unbuffered inverter configuration with six independent logic channels
• Wide supply voltage compatibility ranging from 2.0 V to 6.0 V
• High noise immunity and robust latch-up performance exceeding 100 mA
• Integrated input clamp diodes for overvoltage tolerance

Inverter Gates Applications

• Linear amplifier circuits
• Crystal oscillator designs
• Astable multivibrator configurations

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against current Nexperia documentation to confirm package type and availability status. Confirm RoHS compliance and environmental declarations prior to integration. Check for any recent product change notices or end-of-life announcements directly from the manufacturer before finalizing procurement plans.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a hex inverter topology is required without internal buffering. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified -40 °C to +125 °C operating temperature range. Verify that the system supply voltage stays between 2.0 V and 6.0 V to maintain electrical specifications and prevent damage to the CMOS structure.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the 74HCUxx series of unbuffered logic devices manufactured by Nexperia. Unlike buffered variants, these inverters lack internal protection structures, making them suitable for analog applications like oscillators. The DB suffix indicates the SSOP plastic small outline package variant.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

The 74HCU04D is a direct pin-compatible alternative in the SO14 package. For TSSOP packages, the 74HCU04PW serves as a functional equivalent. Verify package dimensions and thermal characteristics when substituting.
