Product Overview
The SN74HC04 is a Texas Instruments hex inverter logic gate in the Signal_Chain category. The device contains six independent inverter gates, each implementing positive-logic Y = NOT A. Its recommended operating supply range is 2 V to 6 V, with 5 V nominal operation, and both input and output voltage ranges are specified from 0 V to VCC.
Logic thresholds depend on VCC: VIH is 1.5 V minimum at 2 V, 3.15 V minimum at 4.5 V, and 4.2 V minimum at 6 V. VIL is 0.5 V maximum at 2 V, 1.35 V maximum at 4.5 V, and 1.8 V maximum at 6 V. At 6 V, the SN74HC04 lists 2 µA typical and 20 µA maximum supply current, with ±1 µA maximum input leakage.
Package options include SOIC-14, SSOP-14, PDIP-14, SO-14, TSSOP-14, CDIP-14, CFP-14, and LCCC-20. Switching data is specified with 50 pF load capacitance, ≤1 MHz input pulse repetition rate, 50 ohm generator impedance, and input pulse transition time below 6 ns.

Procurement Notes
When requesting a quote for SN74HC04, buyers should confirm the manufacturer, package or case, required quantity, target date code, compliance documents, packing method, destination country and expected delivery schedule.
If alternatives are acceptable, buyers should share the approved vendor list, required electrical or optical limits, package constraints and qualification requirements. Any alternative part should be reviewed by the buyer's engineering team before production use.
For analog and signal-chain sourcing, supply voltage, bandwidth, accuracy, noise level, package, temperature grade, input/output configuration and qualification requirements should be verified before approval.
FAQ
What logic function does the SN74HC04 provide?
The SN74HC04 provides six independent inverter gates. In positive logic, each channel implements Y = NOT A, so the output is the logical inverse of the corresponding input.
What supply voltage range is recommended for SN74HC04 operation?
The recommended operating supply voltage range is 2 V minimum to 6 V maximum, with 5 V listed as nominal. The absolute maximum supply voltage rating is -0.5 V to 7 V.
