The SN74ALS1004DRE4 is a high-performance device from Texas Instruments, designed to meet a wide range of digital logic requirements. This particular integrated circuit is a Hex Non-Inverting Driver, providing reliable drive capabilities with non-inverting outputs. It is part of the Advanced Low-Power Schottky (ALS) series, which is well-known for combining low power consumption with high-speed operation.

The SN74ALS1004DRE4 features six open-collector outputs, which are capable of sinking significant current, making it suitable for interfacing with high-current loads such as LEDs, relays, or other high-current indicators. It is also able to perform as a level shifter, thanks to its ability to handle up to 30V at the output, despite operating over a V_CC range of 4.5V to 5.5V. This versatility allows it to be used in a variety of digital applications, including those that require interfacing between different voltage domains.

The device is offered in a tape and reel packaging, with the DRE4 suffix indicating its packaging and temperature grade. It is available in a surface-mount SOIC-14 (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package, which is suitable for automated assembly processes and is designed for space-saving on printed circuit boards.

Key features of the SN74ALS1004DRE4 include:

• Hex (Six) Non-Inverting Drivers
• Open-Collector Outputs
• Output Voltage Range up to 30V
• Operational V_CC Range of 4.5V to 5.5V
