SN74LVCU04APWRE4

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74LVCU04APWRE4 is a hex inverter from Texas Instruments' LVCU logic series. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.65 V to 3.6 V and features inputs that accept voltages up to 5.5 V. The device provides a maximum propagation delay of 3.8 ns and includes typical output ground bounce (VOLP) performance. It is housed in a TSSOP-14 package, supports surface mount installation, and functions across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Hex inverter configuration with six independent circuits
• Input compatibility with 5.5 V signals despite lower supply operation
• High-speed switching capability with low propagation delay

Inverter Gates Applications

• General-purpose digital signal inversion
• Clock signal buffering and conditioning
• Logic level translation interfaces

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including the RE4 suffix to ensure correct packaging specifications. Confirm the TSSOP-14 package type matches your PCB footprint requirements. Check RoHS compliance status as indicated in official documentation. Ensure the operating temperature range meets your environmental design constraints before finalizing procurement.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a hex inverter is required for low-voltage CMOS applications. The 5.5 V tolerant inputs allow interfacing with higher voltage logic sources without additional level shifters. The LVCU series offers optimized performance for modern low-power designs compared to standard LVC devices.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This component belongs to the SN74LVCU04A family, which represents ultra-low voltage CMOS logic. The 'A' variant typically denotes specific electrical characteristics or revisions within the LVCU line. The RE4 suffix indicates tape and reel packaging suitable for automated assembly processes.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other SN74LVCU04 variants with compatible pinouts and electrical specifications. Verify that alternative parts maintain the same 5.5 V input tolerance and propagation delay limits to ensure circuit functionality remains unchanged.
