SN74F04DRG4

Overview

The SN74F04DRG4 is a hex inverter integrated circuit belonging to the Texas Instruments 74F logic family. It contains six independent inverters housed in a 14-pin Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package with a standard width of 3.90mm. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum propagation delay of 5ns at 5V with a 50pF load, a low-level output current capability of 20mA, and a high-level output current of 1mA. Logic thresholds specify a maximum low-level input voltage of 0.8V and a minimum high-level input voltage of 2V. The component supports an operating temperature range from 0°C to 70°C.

Feature Summary

• Contains six independent inverting gates for signal inversion applications
• Provides high-speed switching performance characteristic of the F/FAST logic series
• Features robust output drive capabilities suitable for TTL loads

Applications

• Signal inversion in digital logic circuits
• Waveform shaping and conversion
• Clock signal generation and conditioning

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'RG4' corresponds to lead-free and halogen-free compliance requirements as defined by the manufacturer. Confirm that the SOIC-14 package dimensions match the design footprint specifications. Ensure the operating temperature range meets the environmental constraints of the target application. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to confirm technical accuracy.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed logic inversion is required within standard TTL voltage levels. The 74F series offers faster propagation delays compared to HC or HCT families but consumes higher static current. Verify that the 4.5V to 5.5V supply range aligns with the system power architecture. Consider the thermal dissipation characteristics of the SOIC-14 package under continuous operation.

Part Context

This part is a variant of the SN74F04 hex inverter, distinguished by the DRG4 suffix indicating tape-and-reel packaging and green/RoHS-compliant materials. It belongs to the broader 74F logic family, which bridges the performance gap between standard TTL and advanced Schottky technologies. The device serves as a fundamental building block for complex digital systems requiring rapid signal processing.

Replacement Considerations

SN74F04D is a tube-packaged equivalent offering identical electrical functionality.
