NC7NP04K8X

Inverter Gates Overview

The NC7NP04K8X is a triple Schmitt trigger inverter from the TinyLogic ULP series, manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.65 V to 5.5 V and functions across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The device utilizes a US-8 (TSSOP) surface-mount package. Key electrical characteristics include high-level output currents of -32 mA and low-level output currents of 32 mA. This component is designed for low-power applications requiring noise immunity through Schmitt trigger inputs.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Integrates three independent Schmitt trigger inverters for signal conditioning
• Supports wide supply voltage operation from 1.65 V to 5.5 V
• Provides robust noise filtering via hysteresis on input channels
• Utilizes compact US-8 surface-mount packaging for space-constrained designs

Inverter Gates Applications

• Digital logic level translation between different voltage domains
• Signal shaping and waveform conversion for noisy environments
• Pulse width modulation (PWM) signal conditioning
• Oscillator circuit implementations requiring stable switching thresholds

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer status as Fairchild Semiconductor has been acquired by onsemi. Confirm current production availability and lifecycle status, as some sources indicate potential discontinuation or export restrictions. Ensure the specific suffix K8X matches the required tape-and-reel quantity and packaging specifications for your assembly line requirements.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when triple-channel inversion with Schmitt trigger functionality is required in a small footprint. Compare against the NC7NZ14K8X if higher drive strength or different pinout compatibility is needed. Consider the NC7NP34K8X if non-inverting buffer functionality is preferred instead of inversion. Verify that the 1.65 V minimum operating voltage aligns with the system's power rail capabilities.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the TinyLogic ULP family, characterized by ultra-low power consumption and small physical size. The NC7NP04 variant specifically provides triple inverting functionality with Schmitt triggers. It is part of a broader portfolio including buffers, drivers, and flip-flops, all sharing similar packaging and electrical constraints for modular design approaches.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

The NC7NP04L8X is a documented alternative with similar specifications. Check datasheets for exact pinout and electrical parameter equivalence before substitution.
