Product Overview: NXP 74HC04D

The NXP 74HC04D is a high-speed Si-gate CMOS device and is pin compatible with low-power Schottky TTL (LSTTL). It is fabricated with silicon gate CMOS technology which ensures that it has the high noise immunity and low power consumption characteristic of CMOS integrated circuits, as well as speeds approaching those of LSTTL circuits.

This integrated circuit is a hex inverter, meaning it contains six independent inverter gates in a single package. Each inverter is designed to invert the input signal, turning a logical high input into a logical low output, and vice versa. The 74HC04D is capable of transforming slowly changing input signals into sharply defined, jitter-free output signals, making it an essential component for digital systems where signal integrity is paramount.

The device comes in a small 14-pin SOIC package, which is suitable for surface-mounted technology (SMT) and occupies minimal space on a printed circuit board (PCB). This makes it an excellent choice for compact electronic designs. The 74HC04D operates over a wide voltage range from 2.0 to 6.0 V and features symmetrical output impedance, high noise immunity, and low power dissipation. These characteristics make the 74HC04D versatile and suitable for interfacing with both TTL and CMOS circuits.

Key features of the NXP 74HC04D include:

• Hex inverter functionality
• High noise immunity
• Low power dissipation
• Wide operating voltage range: 2.0 to 6.0 V
