SN54HC04, SN74HC04 HEX INVERTERS are an integrated circuit produced by Texas Instruments. They have a wide power supply range (2V-6V), low power consumption (20μA), a typical delay time (8ns) and a high output drive current (±4mA).
The SN54HC04 and SN74HC04 are six‑channel hex inverters that operate with a wide supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V and can drive up to 10 LSTTL loads. Key electrical parameters include a typical propagation delay of about 8 ns, a +4 mA output drive capability at 5 V, and a low input current of 1 µA max. The datasheet also lists absolute maximum ratings, recommended operating conditions, and detailed switching characteristics.
Packaging information covers multiple package types (PDIP, SOIC, TSSOP, etc.) with ordering quantities, thermal impedance data, and RoHS compliance details. An addendum provides the status of each part (active, NRND, obsolete) and notes on moisture sensitivity levels. The document ends with an important notice about product availability and warranty.
