ONSEMI 74HC04 Hex Inverter IC, SOIC-14

The ONSEMI MC74HC04A is a high-speed CMOS hex inverter integrated circuit, offering a direct pin-for-pin replacement for the LS04 and MC14069 devices. This robust logic IC is designed for efficiency and broad compatibility, making it a versatile component for digital circuit design.

Its inputs are fully compatible with Standard CMOS outputs. With the addition of simple pull-up resistors, the inputs also become compatible with LSTTL (Low-Power Schottky TTL) logic families, providing significant flexibility in mixed-technology systems.

Core Functionality

• The device integrates six independent three-stage inverter gates in a single package.
• Each gate features a single input, performing the fundamental logical NOT operation.

Key Electrical Specifications

• Wide Operating Voltage Range: Functions reliably from 2V to 6V, suitable for various power supply configurations.
• High Output Drive: Capable of driving up to 10 LSTTL loads, ensuring strong signal integrity.
• Broad Output Compatibility: Outputs can interface directly with CMOS, NMOS, and TTL logic inputs, simplifying system integration.
• Low Power Consumption: Features a very low input current of 1 µA, contributing to energy-efficient circuit operation.
• High-Speed Operation: As part of the 74HC family, it offers fast switching speeds critical for modern digital applications.

Housed in a compact SOIC-14 package, this IC is ideal for space-constrained PCB designs where reliability and performance are paramount. Its operational temperature range of -55°C to 125°C ensures stable performance in demanding industrial and commercial environments.
