SN74HCU04AN

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74HCU04AN is a hex inverter integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments, belonging to the SN74HCU logic family. It features six independent inverters housed in a 14-pin PDIP package designed for through-hole mounting. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2V to 6V and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. Key electrical specifications include a maximum output current of 4mA for both high and low states, a maximum static supply current of 2µA, and an average propagation delay of 7ns.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Provides six independent inverting channels within a single integrated circuit package.
• Features balanced push-pull outputs capable of driving standard CMOS loads.
• Operates across a wide supply voltage range suitable for various digital logic applications.

Inverter Gates Applications

• Signal inversion in general-purpose digital logic circuits
• Clock signal generation and conditioning
• Buffering and level shifting between logic stages

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AN' corresponds to the PDIP-14 through-hole package configuration when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated in official datasheets. Ensure the supplier provides documentation matching the SN74HCU series specifications rather than generic HC or HCT variants.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when through-hole assembly is required for hex inverter functionality. The HCU series offers faster switching speeds compared to standard HC devices while maintaining similar pinouts. Verify that the 2V to 6V supply range aligns with the target system voltage requirements.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74HCU family, which represents high-speed CMOS technology with improved performance over standard HC logic. The SN74HCU04 specifically integrates six inverters, offering a compact solution for signal inversion tasks in embedded systems and industrial control applications requiring robust digital switching capabilities.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

SN74HCU04N (PDIP variant), SN74HCU04D (SOIC variant), SN74HCU04DR (SOIC reel variant). Verify package compatibility and ensure equivalent electrical characteristics before substitution.
