SN54HC04J

The Texas Instruments SN54HC04J is a versatile hex inverter integrated circuit belonging to the HC technology family. This device contains six independent inverters, with each gate performing the Boolean function Y = A in positive logic. It operates over a wide voltage range of 2V to 6V and is rated for military operating temperatures from -55°C to 125°C. The SN54HC04J offers buffered inputs and push-pull outputs, supporting fanout up to 10 LSTTL loads. Its features include balanced outputs and very high speed with a typical propagation delay between 5ns and 10ns. This component is designed for applications requiring reliable logic inversion with significant power reduction compared to LSTTL logic.

Available in CDIP (J), CFP (W), and LCCC (FK) packages, the SN54HC04J is suitable for various mounting requirements. Its standard CMOS input type and push-pull output type make it compatible with a wide range of digital systems. The device draws a maximum supply current of 20µA, contributing to its power efficiency. The wide operating temperature range makes it suitable for demanding environmental conditions.

This hex inverter is a fundamental building block in digital electronics, used for signal inversion, logic control, and signal conditioning. Its high speed and wide operating voltage make it a flexible choice for many designs. The HC family offers a good balance of speed and low power consumption.
