MM74C04MX

Inverter Gates Overview

The MM74C04MX is a hex inverter integrated circuit manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor, housed in a 14-SOIC surface-mount package. It contains six independent inverting logic circuits. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 3V to 18V, with specific high-level input logic thresholds defined between 3.5V and 8V, and low-level thresholds between 1.5V and 2V at 10V supply. Maximum propagation delay is specified as 60ns at 10V with a 50pF load. The component supports an extended operating temperature range from -55°C to 125°C.

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify current lifecycle status as this part may be obsolete or discontinued. Confirm exact pinout compatibility if replacing legacy through-hole variants with this surface-mount version. Check manufacturer documentation for any recent product change notices affecting electrical characteristics or packaging specifications before finalizing procurement plans.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a hex inverter is required in a surface-mount design. Ensure the application voltage falls within the specified operational range. Consider the propagation delay specifications relative to system timing requirements. Verify that the 14-SOIC footprint matches the PCB layout constraints.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This component belongs to the 74C series of CMOS logic devices, which are known for wide voltage operation compared to standard TTL. The 'MM' prefix typically denotes military or extended temperature grade variants in some manufacturer lineups, though specific grading should be verified against official datasheets. It serves as a fundamental building block for digital logic designs requiring multiple inverters.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other hex inverters in SOIC-14 packages such as the SN74HC04 or CD4069UBT. Verify pin compatibility and electrical parameter equivalence, particularly regarding supply voltage ranges and propagation delays, before substitution.
