TC74VHCT04AFTEL

Inverter Gates Overview

The TC74VHCT04AFTEL is a hex inverter manufactured by Toshiba Semiconductor and Storage, utilizing silicon gate C2MOS technology. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports an operating temperature from -40°C to 85°C. The device features a typical propagation delay of 4.7 ns at 5 V with a maximum quiescent current of 2 μA. Input thresholds are compatible with TTL standards (VIL max 0.8 V, VIH min 2.0 V). It provides power-down protection on all inputs and outputs, ensuring safe operation during mismatched supply conditions.
