74HCU04PW,112

Inverter Gates Overview

The Nexperia 74HCU04PW,112 is a hex unbuffered inverter housed in a TSSOP14 (SOT402-1) 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 and includes input clamp diodes for interfacing with voltages exceeding VCC. Static characteristics specify high-level output voltage up to 5.81 V at 4.5 V supply and low-level output voltage as low as 0.16 V at 6.0 V supply.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Hex unbuffered inverter configuration with six independent logic channels
• Wide operating supply voltage range supporting 2.0 V to 6.0 V operation
• Input clamp diodes enable current limiting resistor usage for over-voltage interfacing
• High noise immunity and latch-up performance exceeding JESD 78 Class II Level B

Inverter Gates Applications

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

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a hex inverter topology is required without internal buffering. The wide supply voltage range accommodates systems operating between 2.0 V and 6.0 V. Ensure the application utilizes the input clamp diodes correctly if interfacing with signals exceeding the supply rail. Verify thermal derating requirements for the TSSOP14 package if total power dissipation approaches limits at elevated temperatures.

Inverter Gates Part Context

The 74HCU04 belongs to the 74HCU series of CMOS logic devices manufactured by Nexperia. This series provides unbuffered inverters designed for applications requiring linear operation or specific oscillation characteristics. The PW variant specifically denotes the plastic thin shrink small outline package with 14 leads, distinguishing it from SO or QFN package options within the same logical family.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements include other 74HCU04 variants such as the 74HCU04D (SO14 package). Cross-family substitutes like 74HC04 or 74HCT04 may function electrically but differ in input/output voltage thresholds and drive capabilities. Verify that any substitute maintains the unbuffered characteristic required for the intended linear or oscillatory application.
