74LVC04AD,118

Inverter Gates Overview

The Nexperia 74LVC04AD,118 is a hex inverter integrated circuit manufactured by Nexperia USA Inc. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.2 V to 3.6 V and features Schmitt-trigger inputs for tolerance against slow signal transitions. The device provides overvoltage tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V, enabling direct interfacing with TTL levels and use as translators in mixed 3.3 V and 5 V environments. It complies with JEDEC standards JESD8-7A, JESD8-5A, and JESD8-C/JESD36. ESD protection exceeds 2000 V (HBM) and 1000 V (CDM). The component is specified for ambient temperatures from -40 °C to +125 °C and utilizes the SO14 plastic small outline package (SOT108-1).

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a hex inverter with Schmitt-trigger inputs is required for robust signal conditioning. It is suitable for designs needing compatibility with both 3.3 V and 5 V logic families due to its wide supply range and overvoltage tolerant inputs. Ensure the application requires the SO14 surface-mount package and operates within the specified temperature and voltage limits.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the 74LVC04A family of hex inverters from Nexperia. The 'AD' designation specifically identifies the SO14 (SOT108-1) plastic small outline package variant. Other variants in the family include the TSSOP14 (APW) and DHVQFN14 (ABQ) packages, offering design flexibility for different board space constraints while maintaining identical electrical characteristics.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements must be sourced from manufacturers supporting the standard 74LVC04 hex inverter specification in an SO14 package. Verify that any substitute maintains the same Schmitt-trigger input characteristics and overvoltage tolerance to ensure functional equivalence in existing designs.

Inverter Gates FAQ

What is the function of the Schmitt-trigger inputs?

The Schmitt-trigger action at all inputs makes the circuit tolerant of slower input rise and fall times, improving noise immunity and signal integrity.

Can this device interface directly with 5 V devices?

Yes, the inputs are overvoltage tolerant to 5.5 V, allowing the device to be driven by 5 V sources even when operating at lower supply voltages like 3.3 V or 1.8 V.
