SN74AHC04N

Overview

The SN74AHC04N is a hex inverter integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments. It belongs to the AHC logic family and utilizes CMOS technology. The device contains six independent inverters within a single package. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 5.5 V. The component supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. It is housed in a standard 14-pin Dual In-line Package (DIP).

Feature Summary

• Contains six independent inverter gates for signal inversion.
• CMOS construction provides low power consumption.
• Compatible with standard TTL logic levels.

Applications

• General-purpose digital logic signal inversion.
• Clock signal conditioning and buffering.
• Interface circuits between different logic families.

Procurement Notes

Verify that the part number suffix indicates the specific package type, as 'N' typically denotes a DIP-14 configuration. Confirm the manufacturer is Texas Instruments to ensure compliance with original specifications. Check RoHS status if environmental regulations apply to the assembly process. Ensure the operating temperature range meets the requirements of the target application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when six independent inverters are required in a through-hole DIP package. Consider the AHC series for high-speed performance compared to older HC variants. Verify that the 5.5 V maximum supply voltage aligns with the system power rails. Evaluate pin compatibility if replacing existing designs using similar hex inverter configurations.

Part Context

This component is part of the broader 74-series logic family, specifically the Advanced High-Speed CMOS (AHC) category. It serves as a fundamental building block for digital circuits requiring signal inversion. The DIP-14 package facilitates easy prototyping and breadboard usage. It complements other devices in the same logic family for complex digital design implementations.
