74VHC04N

Inverter Gates Overview

The onsemi 74VHC04N is a high-speed CMOS hex inverter manufactured using silicon gate CMOS technology. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 5.5 V and features six independent inverters in a single package. The device provides balanced propagation delays and low power dissipation while maintaining performance comparable to equivalent bipolar Schottky TTL logic. It includes robust input structures that tolerate voltages up to 5.5 V, facilitating interface between 3 V and 5 V systems.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• High-speed operation with typical propagation delay of 3.8 ns at 5 V
• Low power consumption with maximum static supply current of 2 µA
• High noise immunity with input thresholds at 28% of VCC
• Input structure tolerant to 5.5 V for mixed-voltage system interfacing

Inverter Gates Applications

• General-purpose digital signal inversion
• Level shifting between 3.3 V and 5.0 V logic domains
• Clock signal buffering and conditioning

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against manufacturer documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements for your assembly process. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact package type and temperature rating required for your design specifications.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-speed inverter is needed with CMOS input/output compatibility. It serves as a direct replacement for standard logic families requiring lower power consumption. Consider its 5.5 V tolerance inputs if interfacing with higher voltage signals in mixed-signal environments.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This component belongs to the 74VHC series of high-performance CMOS logic devices. The series is designed to offer speed advantages over standard HC logic while maintaining low power characteristics. It is widely used in portable and battery-operated applications due to its efficient power profile.
