MM74HC04N

Inverter Gates Overview

The MM74HC04N is a hex inverter manufactured by onsemi, utilizing advanced silicon gate CMOS technology. It operates within a voltage range of 2.0 V to 6.0 V and features six independent inverters in a 14-pin DIP package. The device provides an output drive capability of 5.2 mA and maintains low input current characteristics. It is designed for general-purpose logic applications with high noise immunity.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Advanced silicon gate CMOS technology ensures operation speeds comparable to LS-TTL while maintaining standard CMOS low power consumption.
• Outputs directly interface with CMOS, NMOS, and TTL loads, providing compatibility with 10 LSTTL loads.
• Inputs are protected against electrostatic discharge damage via internal diode clamping to VCC and ground.

Inverter Gates Applications

• General-purpose logic inversion
• Clock signal generation circuits
• Buffering digital signals

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'N' indicates the PDIP-14 through-hole package configuration when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status as lead-free devices are standard for this series. Ensure the manufacturer designation matches onsemi specifications for the MM74HC04 series to guarantee pinout compatibility with LS04 equivalents.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a hex inverter with CMOS compatibility and moderate speed is required. It serves as a functional replacement for MC14069 and LS04 devices in designs requiring direct interfacing with multiple logic families. Consider the 14-pin DIP package constraint for prototyping or through-hole manufacturing requirements.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the 74HC logic family, which offers high-speed performance similar to Low-power Schottky TTL but with significantly lower static power dissipation. The MM74HC04 variant specifically denotes the through-hole packaging option within the broader MM74HC04 product line offered by onsemi.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

The SN74HC04N from Texas Instruments is a confirmed substitute with identical pinout and electrical specifications. Other compatible alternatives include the NXP 74HC04 and Diodes Incorporated 74HC04, provided the package type matches the design constraints.
