SN74LS04NE4

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74LS04NE4 is a hex inverter integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments, belonging to the SN54/74LS series of low-power Schottky TTL logic. It contains six independent inverters within a single package. The device operates with a supply voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V and supports a maximum low-level output current of 8mA and a high-level output current of -0.4mA. Propagation delay is typically 15ns at 5V with a 15pF load. It features standard TTL input levels (0.8V for low, 2V for high) and functions across an operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.
