DM74ALS04BMX

Inverter Gates Overview

The DM74ALS04BMX is a hex inverter integrated circuit manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor. It belongs to the Advanced Low-power Schottky (ALS) logic family and operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V. The device contains six independent inverters, each with a single input, housed in a 14-lead Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package. Key electrical specifications include a maximum propagation delay of 11ns at 5V with a 50pF load, high-level output current of 400µA, and low-level output current of 8mA. The component supports an operating temperature range from 0°C to 70°C.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Advanced Low-power Schottky technology for improved switching speed and reduced power consumption compared to standard LS logic.
• Contains six independent inverting gates configured for signal inversion applications.
• Outputs capable of driving standard TTL loads with defined high and low state currents.

Inverter Gates Applications

• Memory systems requiring bus isolation or signal inversion.
• Microprocessor systems utilizing ALS logic families.
• Asynchronous bidirectional data buses.

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'MX' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm package dimensions and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the component matches the required 14-SOIC footprint and lead-free status if RoHS compliance is mandatory for the assembly process. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with current onsemi documentation as Fairchild Semiconductor operations have been acquired.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits that require the higher speed performance of the ALS series while maintaining compatibility with standard 5V TTL logic levels. The 14-SOIC surface-mount package is suitable for automated assembly processes. Consider the 11ns propagation delay and drive capabilities to ensure timing margins are met for the target application frequency.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This device is part of the DM74ALS series, which represents National Semiconductor's and later Fairchild's implementation of Advanced Low-power Schottky logic. The 'DM' prefix typically denotes plastic DIP or SOIC packaging variants produced by National Semiconductor/Fairchild. The '04' designation identifies the hex inverter function within the 74xx logic numbering system.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers include SN74ALS04BNSR and SN74ALS04BDR from Texas Instruments. These alternatives offer parameter equivalence for the hex inverter function within the same ALS logic family.
