SN74HCU04DBR

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74HCU04DBR is a hex inverter integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments, housed in a 14-pin SSOP package. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V and supports an operating temperature from -40°C to 85°C. The device features unbuffered outputs capable of driving up to 10 LSTTL loads with ±4-mA drive current at 5 V. Typical propagation delay is 7 ns, with maximum values reaching 20 ns at 6 V. Quiescent current is limited to 20 µA maximum.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Contains six independent inverters performing the Boolean function Y = A
• Provides wide operating voltage range from 2 V to 6 V
• Features low power consumption with maximum ICC of 20 µA
• Supports unbuffered outputs for direct load interfacing

Inverter Gates Applications

• General-purpose logic inversion in digital circuits
• Signal conditioning for CMOS and LSTTL interfaces
• Clock signal generation and shaping

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'DBR' corresponds to the SSOP-14 tape and reel packaging configuration. Confirm that the RoHS compliance status matches project requirements, as indicated in the manufacturer's documentation. Ensure the operating temperature range aligns with the intended environmental conditions.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a hex inverter with unbuffered outputs is required for standard 2-V to 6-V applications. Consider the SSOP-14 package dimensions for PCB layout constraints. Evaluate the typical 7-ns propagation delay against system timing requirements to ensure adequate performance margins.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74HCU04 family of high-speed CMOS logic devices. It serves as a catalog version of the military-grade SN54HCU04, offering similar functionality within a commercial temperature range. The device is designed for general-purpose digital logic applications requiring multiple independent inverters.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

SN74HCU04DR (SOIC-14) offers identical electrical characteristics in a different surface-mount package format.
