74HCU04PW-Q100J

Inverter Gates Overview

The Nexperia 74HCU04PW-Q100J is a hex unbuffered inverter qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 standards. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 6.0 V and supports ambient temperatures from -40 °C to +125 °C. The device features balanced propagation delays, high noise immunity, and CMOS low power dissipation. Inputs include clamp diodes for interfacing with voltages exceeding VCC. Static characteristics specify input leakage current up to ±1.0 μA at -40 °C to +125 °C (VCC = 6.0 V). Dynamic performance includes a maximum propagation delay of 18 ns at VCC = 6.0 V with 50 pF load capacitance.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Automotive qualification compliant with AEC-Q100 Grade 1 standards
• Wide supply voltage operation from 2.0 V to 6.0 V
• High noise immunity with latch-up performance exceeding 100 mA per JESD 78 Class II Level B
• ESD protection exceeding 2000 V (HBM) and 1000 V (CDM)

Inverter Gates Applications

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

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package variant against project requirements, as the 74HCU04-Q100 family includes SO14, TSSOP14, and DHVQFN14 options. Confirm that the ordering suffix matches the desired physical footprint. Ensure design margins account for the specified temperature ranges and absolute maximum ratings to prevent permanent damage during operation.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when an automotive-grade, unbuffered inverter is required for mixed-voltage environments. The wide supply range allows compatibility with both 3.3 V and 5 V logic systems. Consider the unbuffered nature for applications requiring linear amplification or oscillator feedback rather than standard digital switching. Verify thermal derating requirements if operating near the upper temperature limits.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the Nexperia 74HCU04-Q100 series of hex unbuffered inverters. It is designed for robust performance in demanding automotive electronic environments. The series provides multiple package choices to accommodate various PCB layout constraints while maintaining consistent electrical characteristics across all variants.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include 74HCU04D-Q100 (SO14 package) and 74HCU04BQ-Q100 (DHVQFN14 package). These share identical electrical specifications but differ in physical dimensions and pinout compatibility.
