Hex inverter in 14-TSSOP — active production, wide supply range
The SN74LVC04APWRG3 is a six-channel inverter from TI's 74LVC logic family, packaged in a 14-TSSOP (0.173", 4.40mm width) for surface-mount assembly. It operates across a 1.65V to 3.6V supply range, making it suitable for mixed-voltage digital designs where a 1.8V or 2.5V core interfaces with 3.3V peripherals. Each of the six inverters provides 24mA sink and source capability at the output, enough to drive a standard CMOS load or a short trace without a buffer. The 4.3ns maximum propagation delay at 3.3V with a 50pF load keeps the part viable for clock inversion and signal cleanup up to the low-hundreds-of-MHz range.
Package and rework considerations for 14-TSSOP
Operating temperature spans -40°C to 125°C, covering industrial and automotive ambient conditions. The 1µA maximum quiescent current keeps the power budget negligible in battery-powered or always-on subsystems.
Logic thresholds and signal compatibility
Input logic-low thresholds are 0.7V to 0.8V, and logic-high thresholds are 1.7V to 2V across the supply range. This means the device interprets a 1.8V CMOS output as a valid high when running at 3.3V, and a 0.4V ground-referenced signal as a valid low — no external level translation needed for common mixed-voltage interfaces. With six independent inverters in one package, the SN74LVC04APWRG3 replaces six discrete single-gate inverters, saving board space and reducing BOM line count. Each channel has its own input; unused inputs should be tied to VCC or GND to prevent floating-node oscillation and excess supply current.
