DM74ALS1004N

Inverter Gates Overview

The DM74ALS1004N is a hex inverter integrated circuit belonging to the Advanced Low-power Schottky (ALS) TTL logic family. It features six independent inverters within a single package, designed for high-speed digital switching applications. The device operates at a nominal supply voltage of 5 V and supports commercial temperature ranges up to 70 °C. It utilizes a 14-pin plastic dual in-line package (DIP) with through-hole terminals spaced at 2.54 mm. The component is constructed using plastic/epoxy material and does not include Schmitt trigger inputs.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Contains six independent inverting logic gates for signal inversion tasks
• Utilizes Advanced Low-power Schottky technology for improved speed and power efficiency
• Provides standard TTL-compatible input and output characteristics

Inverter Gates Applications

• General-purpose digital signal inversion in logic circuits
• Clock signal generation and conditioning
• Level shifting between TTL logic stages

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin, as National Semiconductor was acquired by Texas Instruments. Confirm the specific suffix 'B+' indicates lead composition or packaging variations if required. Ensure the DIP-14 package matches your PCB footprint requirements. Check RoHS compliance status, as original specifications indicate non-compliance with current environmental standards.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when six independent inverters are needed in a single package. The ALS series offers better performance than standard LS logic while maintaining lower power consumption than older S-TTL types. Ensure the design accommodates the 5 V supply requirement and commercial temperature limits. Verify that through-hole mounting is feasible for the assembly process.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part is part of the widely used 74-series logic family, specifically the ALS variant known for its balance of speed and power. Hex inverters are fundamental building blocks in digital electronics, used for creating oscillators, buffering signals, and inverting logic states. The DIP-14 package remains common for prototyping and legacy systems requiring through-hole integration.
