The SN74LVC04AQPWRQ1 is the AEC-Q100 automotive-qualified version of the standard SN74LVC04A. The 'Q' suffix indicates automotive-grade testing and traceability, and the 'PWR' suffix specifies the 14-TSSOP package on Tape & Reel. The core logic — hex inverter, 2 V to 3.6 V supply, 24 mA output drive, 4.5 ns propagation delay — is identical between the two.
Yes, the SN74LVC04AQPWRQ1 is ROHS3 compliant per Texas Instruments' material declaration.
The SN74LVC04AQPWRQ1 uses the standard 14-pin inverter pinout in a 14-TSSOP package: pin 1 (1A), pin 2 (1Y), pin 3 (2A), pin 4 (2Y), pin 5 (3A), pin 6 (3Y), pin 7 (GND), pin 8 (4Y), pin 9 (4A), pin 10 (5Y), pin 11 (5A), pin 12 (6Y), pin 13 (6A), pin 14 (VCC).
The SN74LVU04APWT is a functional alternative — it is also a hex inverter, but in the 74LVU series with a 2 V supply and 7 ns propagation delay at 5 V. The key difference is the SN74LVU04APWT is rated for -40 °C to 85 °C, not the full 125 °C automotive range, and its output drive is 12 mA versus 24 mA. For non-automotive applications where the temperature range and drive strength are acceptable, it is a drop-in alternative in a similar TSSOP package.
