Frequently Asked Questions
How many inverter gates does CD74HC04E contain, and what supply voltage does it require?
CD74HC04E contains 6 independent single-input NOT gate channels in one 14-pin package, operating from a supply of 2 V to 6 V. This wide range covers both 3.3 V and 5 V digital systems, and all 6 gates share a common VCC and GND, simplifying board layout.
What is the output drive current of CD74HC04E at the rated load capacitance?
CD74HC04E is rated for a maximum low-level output current (IOL) of 5.2 mA at a 50 pF load capacitance. This drive capability is sufficient for cascading standard HC logic inputs, driving signal lines up to a few centimeters on a PCB, and interfacing with low-power indicator LEDs through a series resistor.
Which package does CD74HC04E use, and is it suitable for breadboard prototyping?
CD74HC04E comes in a 14-pin 300-mil PDIP (plastic dual in-line) through-hole package with 2.54 mm pin pitch, making it directly insertable into standard breadboards and prototype sockets. The through-hole footprint also suits hand-soldering for low-volume production or repair work.
When should I choose CD74HC04E over CD74AC04 or CD74HCT04 for a 5 V logic design?
Choose CD74HC04E when the design operates at 5 V and requires CMOS-level input thresholds (around 2.5 V) rather than TTL-compatible thresholds. The HCT04 variant accepts TTL inputs with 0.8 V and 2 V thresholds, suiting 5 V bus interfaces driven by TTL outputs. The AC04 offers faster propagation below 5 ns but draws more dynamic current; HC04 is sufficient for signals below 25 MHz.
