DM74ALS1004M

Inverter Gates Overview

The DM74ALS1004M is a hex non-inverting buffer and line driver manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor. It belongs to the Advanced Low-Power Schottky (ALS) logic family, designed for high-speed digital applications. The device features six independent non-inverting channels housed in a 14-lead Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and supports an operating temperature range from 0°C to +70°C. Key electrical characteristics include a low-level output current capability of 24mA and a high-level output current of -100µA.

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin, as onsemi acquired Fairchild's semiconductor business. Confirm the specific suffix 'M' denotes the SOIC package variant. Check for RoHS compliance status and ensure the component meets the required industrial or commercial temperature specifications for your design environment.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when multiple non-inverting buffers are required in a compact surface-mount footprint. The ALS series offers superior switching speeds compared to standard LS logic while maintaining lower power dissipation than original Schottky TTL devices. Ensure the load capacitance and drive requirements align with the 24mA low-level output specification.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part is part of the DM74ALS series, which represents an evolution of the classic 74LS logic family. The ALS process improves propagation delay and power consumption metrics. The DM74ALS1004 specifically provides hex buffering, contrasting with other series members that may offer inverters, NAND gates, or transceivers.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Functionally compatible parts include the DM74ALS1004N (DIP package) and equivalents from other manufacturers such as SN74ALS1004. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameters before substitution.
