SN74F04DRE4

Overview

The SN74F04DRE4 is a hex inverter integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments, belonging to the SN54/74F logic series. It contains six independent inverters performing the Boolean function Y = A. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and features a maximum propagation delay of 6ns at 5V with a 50pF load. It supports high-level output currents of 1mA and low-level output currents of 20mA. The component is housed in a 14-SOIC package and is characterized for operation over an ambient temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

Feature Summary

• Contains six independent inverters for signal inversion
• Supports high-speed digital switching applications
• Provides robust low-level output drive capability

Applications

• General-purpose digital logic circuits
• Signal buffering and inversion
• Clock signal generation and conditioning

Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including the E4 suffix to confirm lead-free compliance and specific tape-and-reel packaging configuration. Ensure the ordering quantity aligns with standard reel sizes to avoid additional handling fees or non-standard packaging variations. Confirm that the intended application environment remains within the specified commercial temperature limits.

Selection Notes

Select this component when six independent inverting functions are required in a single surface-mount package. The F-series designation indicates faster switching speeds compared to LS or ALS variants, making it suitable for higher frequency applications. Verify that the 14-pin SOIC footprint matches the target PCB layout constraints and that the 5V logic level compatibility meets system requirements.

Part Context

This device is part of the broader SN54/74F family of high-speed CMOS logic devices. The 'D' suffix denotes the plastic small-outline package, while 'RE4' specifies the tape-and-reel packaging format and lead-free material composition. It serves as a fundamental building block for complex digital systems requiring multiple inversion stages without occupying excessive board space.

Replacement Considerations

SN74F04DR is a compatible alternative from Texas Instruments offering identical logical functionality and electrical characteristics in the same package type.
