SN74S04N

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74S04N is a hex inverter integrated circuit from the Texas Instruments S-series logic family. It contains six independent inverters performing the Boolean function Y = A complement. The device utilizes bipolar technology and features TTL inputs with CMOS outputs. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V. Key electrical parameters include a propagation delay of 5 ns, a low-level output current of 20 mA, and a high-level output current of -1 mA. It is housed in a 14-pin PDIP package and supports through-hole mounting.

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm exact package type, temperature rating, and environmental compliance status. Ensure the component matches the required logic series specifications for your design. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to confirm technical accuracy before finalizing procurement decisions.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed switching is required compared to standard or low-power variants. The S-series offers faster propagation delays than LS or HC families but consumes more power. Verify that the system can accommodate the higher power dissipation and that the 14-pin DIP package fits the available board space and assembly method.

Inverter Gates Part Context
