SN74HCT04N

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74HCT04N is a hex inverter integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments, housed in a 14-pin PDIP package. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to 85°C. The device features six independent inverters performing the Boolean function Y = A. Key electrical specifications include a typical propagation delay (tpd) of 13ns at 5V, ±4mA output drive capability, and a maximum supply current (ICC) of 20μA.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• TTL-voltage compatible inputs allow direct interfacing with TTL logic systems.
• Outputs provide sufficient drive strength to load up to ten LSTTL loads.
• CMOS technology ensures low power consumption during operation.

Inverter Gates Applications

• Signal inversion in digital logic circuits
• Clock signal generation and conditioning
• General-purpose logic buffering

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm the exact package type and material finish. Confirm the production status, as the SN74HCT04N variant may be designated as Not Recommended for New Designs (NRND). Ensure compliance with RoHS requirements and check for any applicable military or space-qualified versions if required for the application environment.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard hex inverter with TTL-compatible input thresholds is required. The HCT series is suitable for designs needing CMOS performance with TTL input levels. Consider alternative packages such as SOIC or TSSOP if surface-mount technology is preferred over through-hole mounting. Verify that the 4.5V to 5.5V supply voltage range aligns with the system power rails.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the SNx4HCT04 family of hex inverters produced by Texas Instruments. The family includes various package options such as SOIC, TSSOP, and ceramic variants like CDIP and LCCC for specialized applications. The SN74HCT04N specifically denotes the through-hole PDIP version of this widely used logic gate.
