74HC04 Hex Inverter SMD IC

74HC04 Hex Inverter SMD IC

The 74HC04 is a Hex Inverter IC available in an SMD (Surface Mount Device) package, comprising six independent inverter gates. Each gate takes a single input and outputs the logical complement (inverted state) of that input. This means that if the input is high (logic 1), the output will be low (logic 0), and vice versa. Operating on a wide supply voltage range of 2V to 6V, the 74HC04 is constructed using high-speed CMOS technology, which allows for fast operation with relatively low power consumption compared to traditional TTL counterparts. The propagation delay time for each gate is typically about 8ns at 5V, making it suitable for various digital logic applications. The 74HC04 is commonly used in digital circuits for signal inversion, waveform generation, and buffering. It is particularly useful in applications that require the inversion of control signals or logical negation for signal processing. The IC's compact SMD form factor allows for efficient use of space on modern printed circuit boards (PCBs), making it ideal for use in space-constrained designs, including embedded systems, communication devices, and portable electronics.
