Product details

Supply voltage and logic thresholds — what they mean for the BOM

The SN74LV04AD: The 2 V to 5.5 V supply range lets this part bridge 5 V domains without a separate level shifter, provided the input thresholds align: the low-level threshold is 0.5 V and the high-level threshold is 1.5 V (at 5 V supply). That means a 5 V CMOS output driving this inverter sees a valid high at 1.5 V, so no pull-up is needed. The 20 µA quiescent current is negligible for battery-powered designs — the power budget here is the switching current, not the standby draw.

Lifecycle and compliance

The SN74LV04AD carries an Active lifecycle status and ROHS3 compliance. The 74LV series is a mature, widely second-sourced logic family, so supply continuity through independent distribution is stable — no LTB risk for current designs.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between SN74LV04AD and SN74LVU04APWT?

The SN74LVU04APWT is the unbuffered-output variant of the same hex inverter. The U suffix means the outputs lack a buffering stage, which gives a slightly faster propagation delay (7 ns vs 7.5 ns at 5 V / 50 pF) but also a lower input threshold (0.3 V low, 1.7 V high). The unbuffered version is preferred in crystal-oscillator circuits and linear applications where the inverter is operated in its linear region; the standard SN74LV04AD is the general-purpose choice for digital inversion.

What is the equivalent of SN74LV04AD?

The closest functional equivalent is the SN74LVU04APWT (unbuffered outputs, same footprint, same 6-circuit count). For a pin-compatible drop-in with identical electrical characteristics, any standard 74LV04 hex inverter in a 14-SOIC package from a major vendor (TI, Nexperia, ON Semiconductor) is a direct second source — verify the supply voltage range and temperature grade match your BOM.

What is the lead time for SN74LV04AD?

Lead time is confirmed at quote time against an RFQ. As an active, widely-stocked logic part, typical lead time through independent distribution is short, but the exact figure depends on quantity and current supply conditions — submit an RFQ for a commitment.
