What are the key features of CD54HC04F?

  • Hex inverter with 6 independent single-input NOT gates in a 14-pin ceramic DIP, offering hermetic sealing for high-reliability military and aerospace digital logic designs
  • HC/UH-family CMOS inputs with 2V to 6V supply range and 50 pF load capacitance rating, supporting wide voltage compatibility across mixed-supply logic systems
  • 5.2 mA output drive (IOL) per gate enabling adequate fanout across multiple CMOS downstream loads without external buffers in compact digital inversion circuits

What is CD54HC04F used for?

The CD54HC04F is used in military, aerospace, and high-reliability industrial digital logic circuits requiring hermetic ceramic DIP packaging with guaranteed operation across -55°C to 125°C temperature extremes. Its 6-channel inverter configuration is ideal for signal complementing, clock buffering and inversion, bus driver control, and oscillator feedback networks in space-qualified and MIL-SPEC electronic systems. High-reliability instrumentation, avionics digital signal chains, and CMOS oscillator circuits also employ this device for its ceramic package integrity under thermal cycling and humidity stress.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many inverter channels does the CD54HC04F contain, and what output drive current do they provide per channel?

The CD54HC04F contains 6 independent inverter channels (hex inverter), each providing a maximum output low-state current (IOL) of 5.2 mA at a 50 pF load capacitance. This drive level supports fanout to approximately 40 standard HC-family CMOS inputs per channel, or direct connection to resistive pull-up circuits for open-drain signal inversion in 2V to 6V digital logic systems.

Why does the CD54HC04F use a ceramic DIP package instead of plastic SOIC, and what reliability environments does this enable?

The ceramic DIP package (JEDEC R-GDIP-T14) provides hermetic sealing that prevents moisture ingress and outgassing under vacuum or high-humidity conditions, meeting MIL-PRF-38535 requirements for military and space electronics. Plastic SOIC packages absorb moisture (MSL 1-3), making them unsuitable for avionics and satellite applications, while the ceramic CD54HC04F can withstand 1000-hour humidity testing and -55°C to 125°C thermal cycling demanded by military and aerospace qualification standards.

Can the CD54HC04F drive a crystal oscillator feedback network operating in the 1 MHz to 20 MHz range?

Yes, one CD54HC04F inverter channel can serve as the amplifier in a Pierce-type crystal oscillator feedback network for crystals in the 1 MHz to 20 MHz range. At 5V, HC-family inverters exhibit sufficient gain in the linear region when biased with a feedback resistor of approximately 1 MOhm to 10 MOhm, and the 50 pF load capacitance specification is compatible with standard 18 pF to 27 pF crystal load capacitors used in oscillator networks with external load resistors and series resistors.

When is CD54HC04F preferred over CD74HC04E or 74HC04 surface-mount variants in a design?

CD54HC04F is preferred over plastic DIP or SOIC 74HC04 variants when the application demands hermetic ceramic packaging for MIL-SPEC procurement, extended -55°C to 125°C operation, or resistance to corrosive atmospheres in aerospace and defense systems. In commercial or industrial applications without environmental extremes, the plastic CD74HC04E or SOIC-14 74HC04 alternatives reduce unit cost by 60% to 80% while providing equivalent 6-channel inverter performance at the same 2V to 6V supply and 50 pF load ratings.
