SN74HC04DRG4 datasheet by Texas Instruments

SN74HC04DRG4 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum operating frequency of the SN74HC04DRG4?
  The maximum operating frequency of the SN74HC04DRG4 is typically 100 MHz, but it can vary depending on the specific application and operating conditions.
• How do I ensure that the SN74HC04DRG4 is properly powered?
  To ensure proper power supply, connect VCC to a stable 2-6V power source, and GND to a reliable ground connection. Also, decouple the power supply with a 0.1uF capacitor to reduce noise and ensure stable operation.
• What is the maximum current that the SN74HC04DRG4 can sink or source?
  The SN74HC04DRG4 can sink or source up to 25mA of current per output, but it's recommended to limit the current to 10mA or less to ensure reliable operation.
• How do I handle the heat generated by the SN74HC04DRG4?
  The SN74HC04DRG4 has a thermal resistance of 83°C/W. To handle heat, ensure good airflow around the device, use a heat sink if necessary, and avoid operating the device near its maximum power rating.
• Can I use the SN74HC04DRG4 in a 3.3V system?
  Yes, the SN74HC04DRG4 is compatible with 3.3V systems. However, ensure that the input signals are within the recommended voltage range (VCC-0.5V to VCC+0.5V) to maintain proper operation.
