SN74HC04DE4

Overview

The SN74HC04DE4 is a hex inverter integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments, belonging to the HC logic series. It features six independent inverters within a single package. The device operates on a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V and supports surface-mount installation in an SOIC-14 package. Key electrical parameters include a propagation delay of 20 ns, with high-level output current of -4 mA and low-level output current of 4 mA. The component functions reliably across a temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Contains six independent inverter circuits for signal inversion
• CMOS technology ensures low input current and power consumption
• Compatible with LSTTL logic levels for broad interface support

Applications

• Digital signal inversion in logic circuits
• Clock signal generation and shaping
• Buffering for CMOS logic interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix DE4 against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm the exact package type and environmental compliance status. Confirm the current production lifecycle status, as this part number may be subject to discontinuation notices. Ensure that the procurement channel provides valid traceability for the component batch.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a surface-mount hex inverter is required for designs operating between 2 V and 6 V. The SOIC-14 package is suitable for automated assembly processes. Consider the 20 ns propagation delay and 4 mA drive capability to ensure compatibility with downstream load requirements and timing constraints in the target application.

Part Context

This component is part of the SN74HC04 family, which includes variants with different packaging options such as PDIP and tape-and-reel formats. The 'E4' suffix typically denotes lead-free and RoHS-compliant manufacturing. It serves as a fundamental building block for digital logic systems requiring multiple inversion stages in a compact footprint.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible substitutes include other SN74HC04 variants from Texas Instruments or equivalent hex inverters from other manufacturers adhering to the same HC logic specifications and SOIC-14 package dimensions.
