SN74LV04DR

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74LV04DR is a hex inverter integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments, belonging to the LV/LV-A/LVX/H series. It features six independent inverters with one input per gate, housed in a 14-pin SOIC plastic package. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2V to 5.5V and supports a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum low-level output current of 12mA and a propagation delay of 7.5ns at 5V with 50pF load capacitance.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Provides six independent single-input inverter gates for signal inversion applications
• Supports dual-voltage operation across a wide 2V to 5.5V supply range
• Features robust output drive capability with 12mA sink and source currents
• Designed for surface-mount installation in compact 14-SOIC packages

Inverter Gates Applications

• General-purpose digital logic signal inversion
• Clock signal generation and conditioning circuits
• Interface between different voltage domains in mixed-signal systems
• Memory address decoding and data bus buffering

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Texas Instruments documentation to confirm package type and tape/reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with RoHS3 standards if required by your design. Confirm that the supplier provides traceability to the original manufacturer's production site. Check for any recent Product Change Notifications (PCNs) regarding assembly or material changes before finalizing procurement orders.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density hex inverter solution is required for space-constrained designs. The SN74LV04DR is suitable for applications needing wide voltage tolerance and moderate speed performance. Consider the 14-SOIC package dimensions for PCB layout constraints. Evaluate the 7.5ns propagation delay against system timing requirements to ensure adequate signal integrity margins.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the Texas Instruments SN74LV family of low-voltage CMOS logic devices. The 'LV' designation indicates low-voltage operation compatible with modern digital systems. The '04' suffix identifies the hex inverter function within the standard 74xx logic nomenclature. The 'D' suffix specifies the 14-lead small-outline integrated circuit package variant.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

SN74LV04ADR: Same functional logic but in SOIC-14 package variant. SN74LV04APWR: Equivalent hex inverter in TSSOP-14 package. SN74LVC04DR: Higher speed alternative in the LVC series with similar pinout.
