SN74AHC04NG4

Overview

The SN74AHC04NG4 is a hex inverter integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments, belonging to the AHC logic series. It features six independent inverters within a single package. The device operates on a supply voltage range of 2 V to 5.5 V and supports CMOS input and output types. It is housed in a 14-pin DIP (PDIP) package. The component functions across an extended temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum propagation delay of 8 ns at 5 V with a 50 pF load, and output drive currents of ±8 mA.

Feature Summary

• Contains six independent inverting gates for signal inversion applications
• Compatible with standard CMOS logic families for broad interoperability
• Operates over a wide supply voltage range supporting multiple logic levels
• Designed for surface-mount or through-hole mounting via standard packaging

Applications

• General-purpose digital signal inversion in logic circuits
• Clock signal generation and conditioning
• Interface between different logic families requiring level translation
• Oscillator circuits utilizing external feedback components

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'NG4' against official Texas Instruments documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and RoHS status. Ensure the procurement channel provides genuine components with traceable manufacturing dates. Confirm that the 14-pin DIP form factor matches the target PCB footprint requirements before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when six independent inverters are required in a through-hole DIP package. It is suitable for designs needing operation across a 2 V to 5.5 V supply range. Consider alternatives if higher speed or lower power consumption is critical, as AHC technology balances performance and power dissipation effectively for general digital logic tasks.

Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74AHC04 family of hex inverters produced by Texas Instruments. The 'N' designation typically indicates a plastic dual-in-line package, while 'G4' often signifies lead-free and RoHS compliance enhancements. It serves as a fundamental building block in digital electronics for creating NOT gates and signal path management.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include SN74AHC04N and SN74AHC04DR. Verify pin compatibility and electrical specifications before substitution. Other manufacturers offering equivalent hex inverters in DIP-14 packages may require schematic review to ensure functional parity.
