SN74AHCU04PW

Overview

The SN74AHCU04PW is a hex inverter manufactured by Texas Instruments, belonging to the AHCU logic series. It utilizes CMOS technology and is housed in a TSSOP-14 package. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 5.5 V. It supports an operating temperature range from -55°C to +125°C. Key electrical parameters include a propagation delay of 8 ns, with output currents of ±8 mA. The component contains six independent circuits.

Feature Summary

• Provides six independent inverting channels for signal processing
• Operates across a wide industrial temperature range suitable for harsh environments
• Compatible with standard CMOS input and output levels

Applications

• General-purpose digital signal inversion
• Clock signal generation and conditioning
• Logic level translation interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PW' corresponds to the TSSOP-14 package variant when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation or authorized distributor certificates prior to procurement. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required automotive or military grade specifications if applicable, as standard commercial grades may differ in qualification testing.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a hex inverter with extended temperature capability (-55°C to +125°C) is required. The AHCU series offers performance characteristics distinct from standard AHC or LVU families. Verify that the TSSOP-14 footprint aligns with the PCB design constraints. Consider the 8 ns propagation delay against system timing requirements to ensure adequate signal integrity margins.

Part Context

This component is part of the SN74AHCU04 family of hex inverters. It shares functional similarities with other TI logic devices but is distinguished by its specific temperature rating and package type. The 'U' designation typically indicates ultra-low power or specific process technology variations within the broader AHCU product line.

Replacement Considerations

SN74AHCU04PWRG4 is a verified equivalent offering identical functionality with Green packaging compliance. SN74AHCU04DGVR provides the same logical operation in a different VSSOP package format.
