SN74ACT04DBR

Overview

The SN74ACT04DBR is a hex inverter integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments, belonging to the 74ACT logic family. It features six independent inverters housed in a 14-pin SOIC surface-mount package. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports TTL input levels with CMOS outputs. Key electrical specifications include a maximum propagation delay of 8.5 ns at 5 V with a 50 pF load, and output drive capabilities of ±24 mA. It functions reliably across an industrial temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C.

Feature Summary

• Contains six independent inverting gates for signal inversion applications
• Compatible with TTL input logic levels while providing CMOS output characteristics
• Offers high noise immunity and low static power consumption typical of ACT series technology

Applications

• Signal inversion in digital logic circuits
• Clock signal conditioning and generation
• Waveform shaping and pulse width modification

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'DBR' corresponds to the standard SOIC-14 tape-and-reel packaging configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status and ensure the component meets the required operating temperature range for your specific application environment before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact surface-mount solution for multiple inverting stages is required. It is suitable for designs needing compatibility between TTL inputs and CMOS outputs. Consider the 14-pin footprint constraints and verify that the 8.5 ns propagation delay meets the timing requirements of your system.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Texas Instruments 74ACT series, which combines the speed of advanced silicon-gate CMOS technology with the standard logic levels of earlier families. The SN74ACT04 variant specifically provides six inverters, distinguishing it from other gate types like NAND or NOR within the same series.

Replacement Considerations

SN74ACT04DR is a direct equivalent offering identical functionality in the same SOIC-14 package format.
