Texas Instruments SN74HC04N Hex Inverter IC, 14-Pin DIP, 2V to 6V

The Texas Instruments SN74HC04N is a high-quality CMOS hex inverter integrated circuit, providing six independent inverter gates in a single compact package. Designed for efficient logic signal processing, it performs the fundamental Boolean function Y = Ā (NOT A) in positive logic, making it an essential component for digital circuit design.

This IC is engineered for low power consumption, featuring a maximum supply current (ICC) of just 20µA. It delivers robust output drive capability of ±4mA at 5V, with a very low maximum input current of 1µA, ensuring minimal loading on preceding circuits. Each output can drive up to 10 low-power Schottky TTL (LSTTL) loads, offering excellent fan-out for interfacing with other logic families.

Housed in a durable 14-pin Dual In-line Package (DIP), it is ideal for prototyping and use in solderless breadboards or through-hole PCB applications. The device is constructed with a copper, nickel/palladium/gold finish (CU NIPDAU/CU SN) for reliable solderability and corrosion resistance. It is also designated as a green product, manufactured without antimony or bromine (no Sb/Br) in accordance with environmental standards.

With a wide operating supply voltage range from 2V to 6V and a broad temperature range from -40°C to 85°C, this hex inverter is suitable for demanding applications across various industries, including communications networking, consumer electronics, and metering systems. Its combination of low power, high drive capability, and reliability makes it a versatile choice for designers and engineers.
