TC74HC04APF

Inverter Gates Overview

The TC74HC04APF is a hex inverter from the Toshiba 74HC series, fabricated using silicon gate C2MOS technology. It provides high-speed operation comparable to LSTTL with low power dissipation. The device features buffered outputs for stable performance and includes input protection against static discharge. It operates within a wide voltage range of 2V to 6V and supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• High speed operation similar to equivalent LSTTL
• Low power dissipation characteristics
• High noise immunity with balanced propagation delays
• Input protection circuits against static discharge

Inverter Gates Applications

• General electronics applications including computers and office equipment
• Home electronics appliances
• Industrial robots and measuring equipment

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package suffix (e.g., AP, AF) matches the required footprint, as the datasheet lists DIP14, SOP14, and SOL14 options. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributor, as environmental declarations are subject to change. Ensure the ordering code corresponds to the correct tape-and-reel or tube packaging format specified by the supplier.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a hex inverter with LSTTL-compatible pinout and drive capability is required. The symmetrical output impedance and balanced propagation delays make it suitable for precise timing applications. Verify that the 2V to 6V supply range aligns with the system design requirements.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the Toshiba 74HC04A family of hex inverters. The 'AP' designation typically indicates a DIP-14 package, while 'AF' denotes SOP-14. These devices are designed to replace older logic families while maintaining CMOS efficiency. The family shares identical electrical specifications across different physical packages.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

The TC74HC04APF is functionally compatible with standard 74LS04 logic gates regarding pin configuration and basic functionality. Cross-reference with other manufacturers' 74HC04 equivalents if sourcing constraints require alternative suppliers.
