SN74HC04PW

Overview

The SN74HC04PW is a hex inverter integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments, belonging to the 74HC series of CMOS logic devices. It contains six independent inverters within a single package. The device operates with a supply voltage range of 2V to 6V and supports input logic levels from 0.5V to 1.8V for low states and 1.5V to 4.2V for high states. It features output drive currents of 5.2mA for both high and low states. The maximum propagation delay is specified as 16ns at 6V with a 50pF load. The component is housed in a 14-TSSOP surface-mount package and functions reliably across an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Feature Summary

• Contains six independent inverter channels for signal inversion
• CMOS technology ensures low static power consumption
• Wide operating voltage range compatible with various digital systems

Applications

• General-purpose digital logic signal inversion
• Clock signal generation and conditioning
• Interface circuits between different logic families

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PW' corresponds to the 14-TSSOP package variant when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status and manufacturing origin details against current datasheets. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documentation for quality assurance purposes prior to procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring multiple inverter functions in a compact surface-mount footprint. Consider the 2V to 6V supply range compatibility with system power rails. Evaluate the 16ns propagation delay against timing requirements for the intended application speed.

Part Context

This part is part of the widely used 74HC04 family of hex inverters. It serves as a fundamental building block in digital electronics for creating NOT gates. The TSSOP packaging allows for space-efficient PCB layouts compared to through-hole alternatives like the PDIP variant.

Replacement Considerations

SN74HC04PWR: Same functional logic and pinout but packaged in Tape & Reel format instead of Cut Tape.
