Frequently Asked Questions
What is the supply voltage range of the SN74LVC04AD?
The SN74LVC04AD operates over a supply voltage range of 1.65V to 5.5V, making it compatible with both 1.8V and 3.3V logic systems as well as legacy 5V TTL designs. This wide range enables its use in mixed-voltage digital systems without additional level shifting circuitry.
How many inverter gates are in the SN74LVC04AD and what package does it use?
The SN74LVC04AD contains 6 independent single-input inverter gates. It is available in a 14-pin Small Outline IC (SOIC) package, designated as R-PDSO-G14 per JEDEC standards, which is suitable for surface-mount assembly on standard PCBs.
What are the typical applications for the SN74LVC04AD?
Typical applications include signal inversion in microcontroller interfaces, clock signal buffering, bus line driving, and logic level conversion in embedded systems. It is also used in FPGA I/O conditioning, industrial automation, and consumer electronics where 50pF load capacitance and 24mA drive strength are sufficient.
Is the SN74LVC04AD RoHS compliant and what is its lead-free status?
Yes, the SN74LVC04AD is fully RoHS compliant and lead-free (Pb-free Code: Yes), conforming to JEDEC moisture sensitivity code e4. It is safe for use in environmentally regulated end products across automotive, industrial, and consumer markets.
What are common alternatives or substitutes for the SN74LVC04AD?
Common pin-compatible alternatives include the 74HC04 (5V only, slower), 74HCT04 (TTL-compatible inputs), and SN74AHC04 (higher speed, 2V–5.5V). For 1.8V operation, the SN74AUC04 is a suitable replacement. All are hex inverters but differ in speed, drive strength, and voltage range.
