MC74AC05MELG

Inverter Gates Overview

The MC74AC05MELG is a hex inverter manufactured by onsemi, belonging to the AC logic series. It features six independent inverters with open-drain outputs housed in a 14-SOIC package. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V and supports single-ended inputs. It provides high drive capability with output currents of 24 mA at both high and low states. The component functions reliably across an operating temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Hex inverter configuration with six independent channels
• Open-drain output structure for flexible interfacing
• High current sourcing and sinking capability
• CMOS technology compatible with standard logic levels

Inverter Gates Applications

• General-purpose digital signal inversion
• Bus interface circuits requiring open-drain topology
• Level shifting applications with external pull-up resistors
• Driver stages for LEDs or relay coils

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix MELG against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm the exact package variant and lead-free status. Confirm end-of-life status as some listings indicate discontinuation. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the SOIC-14 package before procurement.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a hex inverter with open-drain outputs is required for CMOS applications. The AC series offers higher speed than HC series variants while maintaining low power consumption. Verify that the open-drain nature aligns with the system design, as it requires external pull-up resistors for proper high-state operation.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the 74AC05 family of hex inverters. It shares pinout compatibility with legacy LS05 devices but utilizes advanced CMOS technology. The MC74AC05MELG represents a specific packaging and compliance variation within the broader onsemi logic IC portfolio designed for industrial and commercial electronics.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include MC74AC05DG and MC74AC05DR2G from onsemi. Cross-manufacturer equivalents such as CD74AC05M are also available.
