MM74C04M

Inverter Gates Overview

The MM74C04M is a hex inverter manufactured by onsemi, utilizing complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology. It operates within a wide supply voltage range of 3.0V to 15V and features low power consumption with a typical dissipation of 10 nW per package. The device provides high noise immunity and symmetric controlled rise and fall times. It is housed in a 14-lead Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package, designated as M14A.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Employs CMOS technology for wide operating voltage range and low power consumption
• Provides high noise immunity with guaranteed noise margins
• Features input protection against static discharge via diode clamps
• Maintains functional and pinout compatibility with standard 74 logic series

Inverter Gates Applications

• Digital systems requiring low power operation
• Logic level translation between different voltage domains
• General-purpose signal inversion in digital circuits

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin, as the datasheet indicates Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation. Confirm the package type matches the required board layout, specifically the 14-lead SOIC variant. Ensure the ordering code does not include the 'X' suffix if tape and reel packaging is not intended. Check RoHS compliance status for specific production batches.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide supply voltage range up to 15V is required compared to lower-voltage CMOS families. Consider its TTL compatibility for driving 74L loads. Evaluate the propagation delay characteristics against system timing requirements at the target operating voltage. Verify thermal dissipation limits for the chosen package style.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the 74C logic family, which bridges the gap between standard TTL and CMOS technologies. It offers the low power benefits of CMOS while maintaining compatibility with existing 74-series designs. The MM74C04M specifically provides six independent inverters in a compact surface-mount package.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Functionally compatible parts include other 74C04 variants from various manufacturers. Devices from the 74HC or 74HCT families may serve as replacements but operate at lower voltage ranges.
