74HCU04N,652

Inverter Gates Overview

The NXP 74HCU04N,652 is a hex unbuffered inverter housed in a 14-lead DIP package. 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 typical values of 19 ns at 2.0 V and 7 ns at 4.5 V under 50 pF load conditions. Inputs include clamp diodes for interfacing with voltages exceeding VCC.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Includes input clamp diodes allowing current limiting resistors for interfacing inputs to voltages above VCC
• Provides ESD protection exceeding 2000 V via Human Body Model and 200 V via Machine Model standards
• Offers balanced propagation delays across the logic family

Inverter Gates Applications

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

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required package type, as the 74HCU04 series includes multiple options such as SO, SSOP, TSSOP, and DHVQFN. Confirm that the DIP14 variant corresponds to the SOT27-1 mechanical outline. Ensure environmental compliance certificates are available if RoHS or Halogen-free status is required for the manufacturing process.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a hex inverter function is required with wide supply voltage flexibility between 2.0 V and 6.0 V. The DIP14 package is suitable for through-hole mounting applications. Consider the input clamp diode feature if direct interfacing to higher voltage signals without additional level shifting components is necessary.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the 74HCU04 series of hex inverters manufactured by NXP Semiconductors. The 'N' suffix specifically denotes the plastic dual in-line package (DIP14) with 14 leads. The device is compliant with JEDEC standard JESD7A and is designed for general-purpose digital logic applications requiring inversion functions.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes within the same package include other 74HCU04 variants from NXP, such as those in SO, SSOP, or TSSOP packages if form factor changes are acceptable. Cross-brand equivalents should be verified against the static and dynamic electrical characteristics provided in the datasheet.
