SN74ACT04N

Overview

The SN74ACT04N is a hex inverter integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments, belonging to the 74ACT logic family. It features six independent inverters within a single package. The device operates with a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and supports output drive currents of 24mA for both high and low states. It functions reliably across an extended temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Contains six independent inverting gates for signal inversion
• Provides robust 24mA output drive capability
• Compatible with standard 5V CMOS logic levels

Applications

• Signal inversion in digital logic circuits
• Clock signal generation and conditioning
• Level shifting between logic families

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer part number against official Texas Instruments documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical specifications. Ensure the component meets required operating temperature ranges and voltage tolerances for the intended application environment before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when six independent inverters are required in a through-hole DIP package. It serves as a direct replacement for other 74ACT04 variants, provided the package style matches the design constraints. Verify that the 5V supply requirement aligns with the system power architecture.

Part Context

This component is part of the broader 74ACT series of high-speed CMOS logic devices. It shares functional similarities with other hex inverters like the SN74HC04 but offers faster switching speeds and higher drive current capabilities typical of the ACT family. It is designed for general-purpose digital applications requiring reliable signal inversion.
