SN74HCU04NE4

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74HCU04NE4 is a hex inverter integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to 85°C. The device features six independent inverters with unbuffered outputs capable of driving up to 10 LSTTL loads. Electrical characteristics include a maximum input current of 1 µA, a typical propagation delay of 7 ns, and output drive currents of ±4 mA at 5 V.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Contains six independent inverters performing the Boolean function Y = A in positive logic
• Provides unbuffered outputs suitable for direct signal inversion applications
• Supports wide operating voltage ranges from 2 V to 6 V
• Features low power consumption with a maximum ICC of 20 µA

Inverter Gates Applications

• Signal inversion in digital logic circuits
• Clock signal generation and conditioning
• General-purpose logic level translation between CMOS and LSTTL loads

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix 'E4' corresponds to lead-free (NIPDAU) finish and RoHS compliance as specified in the Package Option Addendum. Confirm the package type is PDIP-14 and check the status listed as Active Production. Ensure the supplier provides documentation matching the SCLS079E datasheet revision.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a hex inverter configuration is required for through-hole assembly. The SN74HCU04NE4 is appropriate for designs needing unbuffered outputs and operation across a 2 V to 6 V supply range. Consider the -40°C to 85°C industrial temperature rating for environmental suitability.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74HCU04 family of high-speed CMOS logic devices. It serves as the commercial-grade counterpart to the military-specification SN54HCU04. The device is designed for general-purpose digital applications requiring multiple independent inverters within a single 14-pin package.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

SN74HCU04N is the standard catalog version without the E4 suffix. SN74HCU04DR offers the same functionality in a surface-mount SOIC package.
