SN74LVU04APW

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74LVU04APW is a hex inverter from the SN74LVU04A series, manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 5.5 V and contains six independent inverters with unbuffered outputs. The device supports mixed-mode voltage operation on all ports and features latch-up performance exceeding 250 mA per JESD 17. It provides ESD protection exceeding 2000-V human-body model, 200-V machine model, and 1000-V charged-device model standards. Propagation delay is typically 6.5 ns at 5 V.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Contains six independent inverters performing the Boolean function Y = A with unbuffered outputs
• Supports mixed-mode voltage operation across all ports for versatile interface compatibility
• Provides robust ESD protection exceeding standard JESD 22 ratings for human-body, machine, and charged-device models

Inverter Gates Applications

• Mixed-mode voltage signal translation between different logic families
• General-purpose digital logic inversion in low-voltage systems
• Buffering and driving unbuffered CMOS loads

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'PW' corresponds to the TSSOP-14 package when sourcing. Confirm the component status as obsolete or active through official Texas Instruments channels prior to procurement, as availability may vary. Ensure the selected variant meets the required operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C for your application environment.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring low-voltage operation down to 2 V with high-speed inversion capabilities. Consider the unbuffered output characteristic when designing load circuits, as it differs from buffered counterparts. Verify that the TSSOP-14 package dimensions align with your PCB layout constraints and thermal management requirements.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74LVU04A family of hex inverters designed for 2-V to 5.5-V VCC operation. The 'LVU' designation indicates Low Voltage Unbuffered technology. The 'SN74' prefix denotes commercial grade temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), distinguishing it from the military grade 'SN54' variant which supports -55°C to 125°C.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Check for SN74LVU04ADR (SOIC) or SN74LVU04ADBR (SSOP) if pin-compatible packages are needed. Verify electrical characteristics match for direct substitution.
