Tiny inverter for tight timing budgets
The Texas Instruments SN74AUC1G04YZPR is a single inverter from the 74AUC ultra-low-voltage CMOS family. It runs on a 0.8 V to 2.7 V supply, making it a fit for battery-powered or low-voltage core logic where every millivolt of headroom matters. The 1.9 ns propagation delay at 2.5 V, 30 pF load means it can sit in a clock or data inversion path without eating into setup-and-hold margins — useful for high-speed serial interfaces or memory bus fanout.
What the ratings mean for the BOM
The 9 mA output drive (both high and low) is modest — enough to light a small LED or drive one or two CMOS inputs on the same board, but not meant for long traces or multiple fan-outs. If the load exceeds that, the output edge slows and the 1.9 ns delay number goes out the window. The quiescent current maxes at 10 µA, so this inverter won't drain a coin cell in a portable sensor node.
Lifecycle and sourcing
The SN74AUC1G04YZPR is listed as Active with ROHS3 compliance — no end-of-life notice, no last-time-buy clock ticking. That makes it safe to freeze into a production BOM today. No stock numbers here — send the RFQ and we'll line it up.
