SN74HCT04NE4

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74HCT04NE4 is a hex inverter from the Texas Instruments HCT logic family, 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 of -40°C to +85°C. The device provides ±4-mA output drive capability at 5V and features TTL-compatible inputs with low input current. Propagation delay is typically 13ns at 5.5V and 20ns at 4.5V, with transition times up to 19ns.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Contains six independent inverters performing Boolean inversion functions
• Outputs capable of driving up to ten LSTTL loads
• Inputs are compatible with standard TTL voltage levels

Inverter Gates Applications

• Signal inversion in digital logic circuits
• TTL-to-CMOS interface applications
• General-purpose logic signal processing

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'E4' against the manufacturer's latest orderable addendum, as it may indicate lead-free status or packaging variations. Confirm that the PDIP-14 package availability aligns with current production status, as some variants within this series may be designated as NRND or obsolete depending on the revision date.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a through-hole hex inverter is required for designs utilizing 5V logic systems. Ensure the application does not exceed the maximum supply voltage of 5.5V or require operation below 4.5V. Consider thermal resistance characteristics if multiple devices are mounted closely on the PCB.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the SNx4HCT04 family of hex inverters manufactured by Texas Instruments. It is designed for use in general-purpose digital electronics where CMOS technology offers low power consumption while maintaining compatibility with TTL input standards. The device is distinct from the SN54 series, which supports wider military-grade temperature ranges.
