Product details

74F04PC — fast hex inverter in a through-hole DIP

Key performance specs: a maximum propagation delay of 5 ns at 5V and 50 pF load, output drive capability of 1 mA sourcing and 20 mA sinking per channel, and a maximum quiescent supply current of 15.3 mA. Logic thresholds are TTL-compatible: low level at 0.8V, high level at 2V.

Output drive — fan-out and line driving limits

Each output can source 1 mA and sink 20 mA. Sinking current is enough to drive a standard TTL load or a small LED.

Package and mounting — through-hole legacy fit

Housed in a 14-lead DIP (0.300" body width, 7.62 mm pitch), the 74F04PC is a through-hole part. It fits standard breadboards, prototyping sockets, and legacy PCB layouts.

The 74F series remains a standard logic family with ongoing production support from multiple sources.

Frequently asked questions

Can 74F04PC be used as a direct replacement for 7404 or other 74-series inverters?

Yes, the 74F04PC is pin-compatible with the standard 7404 hex inverter and most 74-series hex inverters (74LS04, 74S04, 74HC04) in the same 14-DIP footprint. The main difference is speed and drive: the 74F04 is faster (5 ns vs 15–22 ns for LS) but draws more supply current (15.3 mA max vs ~6 mA for LS). Check your timing and power budget before swapping.

Is 74F04PC compatible with standard TTL logic levels?

Yes. Input thresholds are 0.8V low / 2V high, and it operates from a 5V supply — fully TTL-compatible. It interfaces directly with 74LS, 74S, and other TTL families without level translation.

What is the difference between 74F04PC and 74LS04PC?

The 74F04PC is significantly faster: 5 ns propagation delay versus typically 15 ns for the 74LS04. It also draws more quiescent current (15.3 mA max vs ~6 mA). Both use the same pinout and are TTL-compatible. Choose the 74F04 when you need the extra speed margin; stay with 74LS04 for lower power consumption in non-critical paths.
