SN74HC04ANSRE4

Overview

The SN74HC04ANSRE4 is a hex inverter integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments, belonging to the SN74HC series of CMOS logic devices. It contains six independent inverters within a single package. The device operates with a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V and supports through-hole or surface-mount installation depending on the specific variant configuration, though this part number typically denotes a tape-and-reel packaging format for SOIC-14 packages. It features low input current and high noise immunity typical of HC CMOS technology.

Feature Summary

• Contains six independent inverting channels for signal inversion applications
• Operates across a wide DC supply voltage range from 2 V to 6 V
• Provides high noise immunity and low power consumption characteristics inherent to CMOS logic families

Applications

• General-purpose digital signal inversion in logic circuits
• Clock signal generation and shaping in timing circuits
• Level shifting between different logic voltage domains

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact package type and pinout against the official Texas Instruments datasheet for SNx4HC04, as suffixes may indicate specific reel quantities or manufacturing sites. Confirm RoHS compliance status and ensure the ordering part number matches the required lead time and availability from authorized distributors. Cross-reference the E4 suffix meaning regarding tin/lead plating if applicable to your assembly process requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when six independent inverters are required in a compact form factor. Ensure the operating voltage stays within the 2 V to 6 V range. Consider the propagation delay specifications at the intended supply voltage and load capacitance. Verify that the SOIC-14 package fits the PCB footprint constraints compared to alternative packages like DIP or TSSOP.

Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74HC04 family of hex inverters produced by Texas Instruments. The HC designation indicates High-speed CMOS technology, offering faster switching speeds than standard 74C series while maintaining low power dissipation. The 'E4' suffix typically denotes environmental compliance or specific manufacturing attributes defined by TI.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include SN74HC04N (PDIP), SN74HC04D (SOIC), and SN74HC04PWR (TSSOP) from Texas Instruments, provided the package style matches the design. Other manufacturers offer equivalent parts such as CD74HC04 or MC74HC04, but verify pin compatibility and electrical parameters.
