It operates across a supply range of 0.8 V to 3.6 V, making it one of the few standard logic gates that can run from a 0.8 V rail — relevant for battery-operated and energy-harvesting designs where the core voltage drops below 1 V. The two independent inverter channels each sink or source 4 mA, enough to drive a following logic input or a low-power LED indicator through a series resistor. Quiescent current maxes at 500 nA across the full temperature range, so it won't eat into a sleep-mode budget.
With a maximum propagation delay of 6.2 ns at 3.3 V and 30 pF load, this inverter keeps up with moderate-speed clock and data paths. In a 10 MHz system the 6.2 ns represents about 6% of a 100 ns period — comfortable margin for most glue-logic applications. At lower supply voltages the delay increases; the 0.8 V end of the range will see significantly longer propagation times, so timing closure should be verified at the actual operating point.
Package and footprint — SC-70-6
The part comes in a 6-pin SC-70-6 (SOT-363) package, a common small-outline footprint that fits into dense PCB layouts. It is surface-mount only, so hand-prototyping needs a fine-tip iron or hot-air station.
