74HCT04
The 74HCT04 is a hex inverter integrated circuit in the 74HCT family, containing six independent inverter stages. It uses high‑speed CMOS technology with TTL‑compatible inputs, allowing direct interfacing with TTL logic while producing CMOS‑level outputs. This makes it useful for signal inversion, buffering, and level shaping in mixed‑signal digital designs.
Electrical characteristics and operation: The device is powered from a single supply typically in the 4.5 to
Package and pinout: The 74HCT04 is offered in common 14‑pin package formats such as DIP‑14 and surface‑mount
Applications: It is widely used to invert and buffer digital signals in microcontroller, microprocessor, and other
