Additional Details

The TC74VCX04FK-EL features six independent inverters. The input signal is inverted at the output. The device's inputs and outputs are over-voltage tolerant, allowing interface with different voltage level circuits. This enhances the flexibility of the device in mixed-voltage systems. The operating temperature range is -40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for a wide range of environments. The device is designed to minimize ground bounce and noise. The propagation delay is typically 2.7 ns at 3.3V. The low power consumption is beneficial for battery-powered and energy-efficient applications. The device supports a wide operating temperature, and it is RoHS compliant. The VSSOP package contributes to space saving, enabling denser designs.
