SN74HCT04APW

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74HCT04APW is a hex inverter integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments, belonging to the 74HCT logic family. It features six independent inverters within a single package. The device operates with a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports TTL-compatible inputs with CMOS outputs. It is housed in a 14-pin TSSOP surface-mount package. The component is rated for an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Contains six independent inverting channels for signal inversion applications
• Provides compatibility between TTL input levels and CMOS output drive capabilities
• Utilizes a compact 14-pin Thin-Shrink Small-Outline Package (TSSOP) for surface-mount assembly

Inverter Gates Applications

• General-purpose digital signal inversion in logic circuits
• Clock signal generation and conditioning
• Interface bridging between TTL and CMOS logic domains

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'APW' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm the exact package variant and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required pin configuration and moisture sensitivity level for your assembly process. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status with the latest environmental declarations provided by Texas Instruments.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a hex inverter function is required within standard 5V logic systems. The HCT series ensures compatibility with older TTL logic families while offering improved noise immunity compared to standard LS types. Consider the TSSOP package dimensions if board space is constrained relative to traditional SOIC or DIP packages.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the widely adopted 74HCT series of high-speed CMOS logic devices. The 74HCT04 specifically provides the fundamental NOT gate function. As a core logic element, it serves as a building block for more complex digital designs, including oscillators, wave shaping, and buffering stages in microcontroller-based systems.
