What are the key features of SN74HC04N-NG?
- Six independent NOT gate channels on a single 14-pin DIP IC for compact logic inversion
- Wide 2 V to 6 V supply range compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V logic systems
- High-speed CMOS with propagation delay as low as 7 ns at 5 V for fast signal paths
- 25 mA output drive current per channel to directly drive LED indicators or bus lines
What is SN74HC04N-NG used for?
The SN74HC04N-NG is a fundamental building block in digital logic designs for signal inversion, oscillator feedback loops, bus driver conditioning, and level translation between active-high and active-low systems. It is widely used in microcontroller interface circuits to invert chip-select or enable signals and in clock conditioning stages requiring complementary outputs. The 14-pin DIP format makes it ideal for prototyping on breadboards and low-volume through-hole PCB assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What supply voltage range does the SN74HC04N-NG support for mixed-voltage logic designs?
The SN74HC04N-NG operates from 2 V to 6 V, covering both 3.3 V and 5 V logic standards. This flexibility allows it to interface between different voltage domains without requiring an external level-shifter in many common digital circuit designs.
How fast does the SN74HC04N-NG propagate a signal inversion at standard operating voltage?
At 5 V supply, the SN74HC04N-NG achieves a typical propagation delay of 7 ns, enabling it to work in clock conditioning and signal inversion paths at frequencies beyond 50 MHz in standard CMOS digital systems.
Can the SN74HC04N-NG directly drive LED indicators in a digital status display circuit?
Yes, with up to 25 mA output drive per channel, the SN74HC04N-NG can sink or source enough current to drive standard LEDs with a series resistor, eliminating the need for external transistor drivers in simple indicator circuits.
How many independent inverter channels are available on the SN74HC04N-NG in a single package?
The SN74HC04N-NG provides 6 independent NOT gate channels in its 14-pin DIP package, allowing up to 6 signals to be inverted simultaneously from a single component, reducing BOM count in multi-channel inversion applications.
When is SN74HC04N-NG preferred over the SN74HCT04 in a 5 V system?
SN74HC04N-NG is preferred when all inputs are driven by CMOS logic because its thresholds track supply voltage (typically 50% of VCC). SN74HCT04 is chosen instead when inputs come from TTL sources with fixed 1.4 V threshold requirements, such as legacy 5 V TTL bus drivers.
