SN74LS04NS

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74LS04NS is a hex inverter integrated circuit from Texas Instruments, belonging to the 74LS low-power Schottky logic family. It contains six independent inverters within a 14-pin SOIC surface-mount package. The device operates on a DC supply voltage ranging from 4.75V to 5.25V. Key electrical parameters include a maximum propagation delay of 15ns at 5V with a 15pF load, a high-level output current of -400µA, and a low-level output current of 8mA. It supports an operating temperature range from 0°C to +70°C.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Contains six independent inverting gates for signal inversion
• Utilizes low-power Schottky bipolar technology for reduced power consumption
• Provides standard TTL-compatible input and output levels
• Designed for surface-mount assembly via SOIC-14 packaging

Inverter Gates Applications

• Digital logic signal inversion circuits
• Clock signal generation and conditioning
• Basic logic gate construction in digital systems
• Microcontroller peripheral interface buffering

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'NS' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm the exact package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the ordered component matches the required surface-mount form factor and that the supplier provides valid RoHS compliance data consistent with the datasheet.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a surface-mount hex inverter is required for low-power applications. It serves as a direct replacement for through-hole DIP variants like the SN74LS04N if board space constraints necessitate SMD technology. Confirm that the 15ns propagation delay meets the system timing requirements.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the widely used 74LS series of logic ICs, which offers a balance between speed and power dissipation compared to standard 74TTL. The SN74LS04 specifically provides six inverters, making it essential for basic digital logic operations where signal polarity reversal is needed.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the SN74LS04D (SOIC) and SN74LS04N (PDIP). Other manufacturers produce equivalent parts under the generic 74LS04 designation, provided they meet the same electrical characteristics and pinout configuration.
