SN74AHCU04PWR

Overview

The SN74AHCU04PWR is a hex inverter integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments, belonging to the AHCU logic series. It features six independent CMOS inverters housed in a 14-pin TSSOP surface-mount package. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 5.5 V and supports a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. Key electrical specifications include a propagation delay of 8 ns, with high-level output current capability of -8 mA and low-level output current of 8 mA. The component is designed for general-purpose digital signal inversion applications requiring robust CMOS performance.

Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including suffixes such as 'G4' for environmental compliance when ordering. Confirm the specific tape and reel quantity requirements against manufacturing needs. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documentation. Check for RoHS compliance status explicitly stated in the official datasheet. Validate that the received components match the specified TSSOP-14 package dimensions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when six independent inverters are required in a single package. Consider the AHCU series for balanced speed and power consumption. Verify that the 2 V to 5.5 V supply range matches the system design. Ensure the TSSOP-14 footprint fits the PCB layout constraints. Compare propagation delay specifications against timing requirements of the target application.

Part Context

This component belongs to the SN74AHCU04 family of hex inverters produced by Texas Instruments. It is part of the broader AHCU logic series, which offers improved performance over standard AHC devices. The PWR suffix indicates the TSSOP-14 package type. This series is widely used in consumer electronics, industrial control, and computing applications requiring reliable digital inversion.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other hex inverters from the same manufacturer or compatible families. Verify pin compatibility and electrical specifications before substitution. Cross-reference with SN74AHC04 or SN74AHCT04 variants if voltage levels differ. Ensure the replacement maintains the required operating temperature range and package style.
