7.5 ns propagation delay — timing margin for the bus
At 5V and 50 pF load, the max propagation delay is 7.5 ns. Quiescent current is 20 µA.
Active production, no end-of-life concern
TI lists the SN74LV04ADR as Active with ROHS3 compliance. No NRND flags, no last-time-buy notices on the horizon. That means you can qualify it into a new BOM without worrying about a forced redesign next year. The 74LV series is a mature logic family — high volume, multiple fabs, stable supply. For a production line or a repair stockroom, this is a safe bet.
