SN74LVCU04APWRG4

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74LVCU04APWRG4 is a hex inverter from Texas Instruments' LVCU logic family. 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 contains six independent inverters with unbuffered outputs, providing a maximum propagation delay (tpd) of 3.8 ns. It supports output drive currents of ±24 mA and functions across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Contains six independent inverters with unbuffered outputs for flexible circuit design
• Inputs tolerate 5.5 V signals, enabling direct interfacing with 5-V controlled devices
• Operates at low supply voltages ranging from 1.65 V to 3.6 V for power efficiency

Inverter Gates Applications

• General-purpose digital signal inversion in low-voltage systems
• Interfacing between 5-V control logic and 3.3-V or lower voltage components
• Clock signal buffering and inversion in portable electronic devices

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix 'G4' indicates lead-free compliance and RoHS conformity as per Texas Instruments documentation. Confirm the package type matches your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the operating temperature range meets your specific environmental conditions. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring low-voltage operation below 3.6 V. It is suitable for applications needing high-speed switching with a propagation delay of 3.8 ns. Choose this part if input compatibility with 5-V signals is required while maintaining a low-power profile. Consider the TSSOP-14 package constraints during layout planning.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This device belongs to the SN74LVCU04A series, which is part of Texas Instruments' ultra-low voltage CMOS logic family. The LVCU series is designed for battery-powered applications requiring minimal current consumption. The 'G4' suffix typically denotes green packaging and lead-free construction, aligning with modern environmental standards for electronic components.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

The SN74LVCU04APWRE4 is a verified substitute part number offering identical electrical characteristics and functionality. Both parts share the same hex inverter configuration and operational parameters. Verify package availability and reel specifications when substituting.
