The TC74HCU04AP(F) is a high-speed CMOS hex inverter manufactured by Toshiba Semiconductor and Storage. It is fabricated with silicon gate CMOS technology, achieving high-speed operation similar to equivalent Schottky TTL while maintaining the low power dissipation characteristic of CMOS. This device consists of six independent inverters.

Applications

• General purpose logic inversion
• Clock oscillators
• Pulse shapers
• Line drivers
• Digital signal processing
• System glue logic

Features

• High-speed operation: tpd = 13 ns (typ.) at VCC = 5V
• Low power dissipation: ICC = 4 μA (max.) at Ta = 25°C
• High noise immunity: VNIH = VNIL = 28 % VCC (min.)
• Output drive capability: 10 LSTTL loads
• Symmetrical output impedance: |IOH| = IOL = 4 mA (min.)
• Wide operating voltage range: VCC = 2 V to 6 V
• Unbuffered outputs for oscillator applications

Benefits

• High-speed performance enables use in time-critical applications.
• Low power consumption contributes to energy efficiency and longer battery life.
• High noise immunity provides stable operation in noisy environments.
• Large output drive capability facilitates interfacing with other logic devices.
• Wide operating voltage range adds design flexibility.
• Unbuffered outputs make it ideal for use in oscillator circuits.

Additional Details

Each inverter in the TC74HCU04AP(F) inverts the input signal. The output is LOW when the input is HIGH, and vice-versa. The 'HCU' designation indicates unbuffered outputs which offer increased gain and make these devices well suited to oscillator circuits and applications requiring high gain. The (F) suffix likely relates to specific packaging requirements.

The operating temperature range is typically -40°C to +85°C. The package is a DIP14.
