The MN74HCU04 is a high-speed silicon-gate CMOS device containing six independent unbuffered inverters. Each inverter performs the Boolean function Y = A̅. The unbuffered design results in faster propagation delays compared to buffered inverters, making it suitable for applications where speed is critical.

Applications

• Oscillators
• Pulse shapers
• High-speed logic circuits
• Clock drivers
• Signal inverters

Features

• High-speed operation: tpd = 9ns (typ.) at VCC = 5V
• Unbuffered outputs for faster propagation delays
• Low power dissipation: ICC = 1μA (max.) at VCC = 5V
• Wide operating voltage range: VCC = 2V to 6V
• High noise immunity: NIL = 30% VCC, NIH = 70% VCC
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to +85°C

Benefits

• Enables high-speed signal inversion
• Reduces signal propagation delays
• Minimizes power consumption, extending battery life
• Provides reliable operation over a wide voltage range
• Offers robust performance in noisy environments
• Suitable for use in various operating conditions

Additional Details

The MN74HCU04 is characterized for operation from -40°C to +85°C. The unbuffered design of the inverters makes them sensitive to noise, so proper bypassing and grounding techniques are essential for stable operation. The device is available in various package options, including DIP and SOIC, to accommodate different board layouts and assembly requirements. The high noise immunity and low power dissipation make the MN74HCU04 suitable for use in a wide range of digital logic applications where high speed is required. Its fast propagation delays make it ideal for use in oscillators and pulse shaping circuits. The device is compatible with other 74HC series logic devices, simplifying system integration. The input pins are protected against static discharge.
