MC74HCT04AFEL

Inverter Gates Overview

The MC74HCT04AFEL is a Hex Inverter integrated circuit manufactured by onsemi, belonging to the 74HCT logic series. It features six independent inverter channels within a single package. The device operates with a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and utilizes a 14-pin SOEIAJ surface-mount package. Key electrical specifications include a maximum quiescent current of 1 µA and output drive capabilities of 4mA for both high and low states. Propagation delay is specified at 17ns under standard test conditions.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Provides six independent inverter channels for signal inversion applications
• Compatible with TTL input levels while maintaining CMOS output characteristics
• Designed for surface-mount assembly using a compact 14-pin SOEIAJ package

Inverter Gates Applications

• General-purpose digital signal inversion in logic circuits
• Level shifting between TTL-compatible inputs and CMOS outputs
• Clock signal generation and waveform shaping

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'FEL' against official datasheets as it may indicate obsolete status or unique packaging variations not universally documented. Confirm pinout compatibility with standard 14-SOIC footprints if substituting into existing designs. Check manufacturer announcements for end-of-life notices and recommended replacement parts before finalizing procurement plans.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when TTL-compatible inputs are required alongside CMOS performance. Ensure the design environment supports the 4.5V to 5.5V operating voltage range. Consider the 14-pin SOEIAJ package dimensions for PCB layout constraints. Verify that the 17ns propagation delay meets the timing requirements of the target application.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the widely adopted 74HCT family, bridging the gap between older TTL logic and modern CMOS technology. It offers improved noise immunity and lower power consumption compared to standard bipolar TTL equivalents. The hex inverter configuration allows multiple signal inversions within a single footprint, optimizing board space.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include MC74HCT04ADTR2G and MM74HCT04MTCX from onsemi. Cross-manufacturer alternatives such as SN74HCT04NSR from Texas Instruments or 74HC14D from Nexperia may be compatible but require verification of package and electrical parameter alignment.
