74LVX04MTC

Inverter Gates Overview

The Fairchild Semiconductor 74LVX04MTC is a hex inverter integrated circuit belonging to the LVX logic family. It utilizes CMOS technology and operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 3.6 V. The device features six independent inverting gates, each with a single input. It is housed in a 14-TSSOP surface-mount package. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum high-level output current of -4 mA and a low-level output current of 4 mA. The component supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Hex inverter configuration providing six independent signal inversion channels
• CMOS construction enabling operation across a wide 2 V to 3.6 V supply range
• Surface-mount TSSOP-14 packaging for compact board integration

Inverter Gates Applications

• General-purpose digital signal inversion in low-voltage systems
• Level shifting between different logic domains
• Clock signal conditioning and buffering

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer prefix (e.g., MM74LVX04MTC) as Fairchild products often carry this identifier. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for obsolescence notices, as legacy inventory may be discontinued or replaced by newer equivalents. Ensure the package type matches the required PCB footprint.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a hex inverter is required for low-voltage applications between 2 V and 3.6 V. It is suitable for designs needing multiple inversion stages in a small surface-mount package. Consider alternative logic families if higher drive currents or wider voltage ranges are necessary.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the 74LVX series, designed for low-voltage CMOS applications. It offers performance comparable to older LVC series devices but with optimized power consumption. The MTC suffix denotes the 14-pin Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP), which is standard for space-constrained consumer electronics.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts include the MM74LVX04MTC and MC74LVX04MTC. Cross-manufacturer alternatives such as the SN74LVX04 or NCV74LVX04 may provide functional compatibility. Verify pinout and electrical specifications before substitution.
