CD74HCU04E

The CD74HCU04E from Texas Instruments is an unbuffered hex inverter utilizing silicon-gate CMOS technology. It achieves operation speeds similar to LSTTL gates while maintaining the low power consumption characteristic of standard CMOS integrated circuits. This device is particularly useful in crystal oscillator and analog applications.

Key electrical specifications include a wide operating voltage range of 2V to 6V and a typical propagation delay of 6ns at 5V with a 15pF load. The operating temperature range spans from -55°C to 125°C, making it suitable for demanding environments. It features high noise immunity with NIL at 20% and NIH at 30% of VCC at 5V, and CMOS input compatibility with low input current.

This hex inverter is housed in a 14-pin PDIP package and supports through-hole mounting. The device contains six independent inverter circuits, each with a single input. Its balanced propagation delay and transition times contribute to reliable performance in various digital and analog circuits.

Applications for the CD74HCU04E include general-purpose logic functions, crystal oscillators, and analog signal processing where low power consumption and high-speed operation are required.
