It operates across a 2V to 5.5V supply range, so it can sit on a 3.3V or 5V rail without a level translator — a common need when bridging a 3.3V MCU to a 5V peripheral or cleaning up a digital line in a mixed-voltage design. The 74LV series is optimized for low power, with a maximum quiescent current of 20 µA, making it suitable for battery-aware or always-on subsystems where the inverter bank is idle most of the time. ## 7.5 ns propagation delay — timing margin for the bus The maximum propagation delay is 7.5 ns at 5V with a 50 pF load. That is fast enough for most 10–20 MHz clock or data lines, but if you are routing through several gates in series — say a chain of inverters for a delay line or a clock buffer — the cumulative delay eats into setup/hold margin. At 3.3V the delay will be a bit higher (the 74LV datasheet curve shows roughly 11 ns typical at 3.3V, 50 pF), so budget accordingly if the design runs near the timing limit. The 12 mA output drive at both high and low levels is enough to drive a few CMOS inputs or a short PCB trace, but not a long cable or high-capacitance bus. ## Industrial temperature range and active lifecycle Rated for -40°C to 85°C, this inverter covers industrial environments — outdoor telecom cabinets, factory-floor controllers, and automotive cabin-zone electronics (non-AEC). ROHS3 compliant, no lead or restricted substances beyond the exemption limits. The 14-TSSOP package (4.40 mm body width) is a common footprint; verify the land pattern against your PCB layout — the 0.65 mm pin pitch is finer than the older SOIC-14, so a rework station with a fine-tip iron or hot-air pencil is recommended for hand assembly or touch-up.","metaTitle":"SN74LV04APW 74LV Hex Inverter, 2V-5.5V, 14-TSSOP","metaDescription":"TI SN74LV04APW hex inverter, 2V to 5.5V supply, 7.5ns prop delay at 5V, 50pF.
