74HC04 DIP Hex Inverter IC

Description

The 74HC04 DIP is a high-speed hex inverter IC from the 74HC logic family, designed for digital logic applications that require signal inversion. It consists of six independent NOT gates (inverters), each with a single input and output. The IC is widely used in signal processing, waveform generation, and digital logic circuits where inverted logic signals are required.

Operating with a voltage range of 2V to 6V, the 74HC04 provides TTL and CMOS compatibility, making it ideal for use in mixed-logic designs. With a fast propagation delay of approximately 8 ns at 5V, it ensures quick signal processing while maintaining low power consumption. The IC can handle an output drive of ±25mA, allowing it to interface directly with other logic devices.

Packaged in a DIP-14 (Dual In-line Package) format, the 74HC04 is easy to use in breadboards and PCBs. It is commonly used in logic-level conversion, clock oscillators, and control circuits where signal inversion is necessary.
