The Texas Instruments SN74HCS04PWR is a hex inverter from the 74HCS series, packing six independent inverter gates with Schmitt-trigger inputs into a 14-TSSOP package. Each gate accepts a single input and delivers a clean inverted output with hysteresis, which suppresses noise on slow or noisy signal lines — useful in industrial sensor interfaces, pushbutton debounce, and oscillator circuits. The wide supply range from 2V to 6V lets it bridge 3.3V and 5V logic domains without a level shifter, and the -40°C to 125°C operating temperature covers industrial enclosures and under-hood automotive cabin zones.
16 ns propagation delay — what it means for timing closure
At 6V with a 50pF load, the max propagation delay is 16 ns per gate.
Lifecycle status is Active with no NRND or EOL flags. ROHS3 compliant. No last-time-buy window is in effect, and no successor has been announced. For BOM planning, this part is safe to qualify into new production runs now. Sourced through independent distribution and quoted to order against an RFQ.
