The document describes the 74LCX04 low voltage hex inverter produced by Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation. The product features 5V tolerant inputs, allowing the interface of 5V systems to 3V systems. The 74LCX04 is fabricated with advanced CMOS technology to achieve high-speed operation while maintaining low power dissipation.
The 74LCX04 is a low‑voltage hex inverter featuring 5 V‑tolerant inputs that can handle up to 7 V, allowing easy interfacing between 5 V and 3 V systems. It is fabricated in advanced CMOS technology for high‑speed operation and low power dissipation, and includes patented noise/EMI reduction circuitry, latch‑up resistance, and high‑impedance power‑down mode.
The document lists detailed electrical characteristics such as a recommended supply range of 2.0 V–3.6 V, typical propagation delay of 5.2 ns, +24 mA output drive, and ESD protection (HBM >2000 V, MM >200 V). Packaging options include SOIC, SOP, TSSOP, and lead‑less DQFN, with tape‑and‑reel availability. Physical dimensions, thermal limits, and handling notes are also provided.
