74LS04 HEX INVERTER

74LS04 con­tains six inde­pen­dent gates each of which per­forms the log­ic INVERT func­tion. The out­put sig­nals of the six invert­ers are oppo­site to the input sig­nals. The invert­er can reverse the phase of the input sig­nal by 180 degrees. This cir­cuit is used in ana­log cir­cuits, such as audio ampli­fi­er, clock oscil­la­tor, etc. Invert­er is often used in elec­tron­ic cir­cuit design.74LS04 Features and SpecificationsSup­ply volt­age range: 4.75V to 5.25VMax­i­mum sup­ply volt­age: 7VMax­i­mum cur­rent allowed to draw through each gate out­put: 8mATotal­ly lead freeTTL out­putsMax­i­mum­Rise Time: 15nsMax­i­mum Fall Time: 15nsOper­at­ing temperature:0°C  to 70 °CWhere to Use 74LS04 IC?Here are few cas­es where 74LS04 is used.1. The chip is basi­cal­ly used where a log­ic invert­er is need­ed. Invert­er Gates in this chip pro­vide out­put which is negat­ed log­ic input. The chip has six gates which do NOT oper­a­tion.2. When you want TTL out­puts. The gates in this chip pro­vide TTL log­ic out­puts which are a must in some appli­ca­tions.3. 74LS04 is a low cost chip avail­able in mar­ket and so it is used when appli­ca­tion cost is low.ApplicationsGen­er­al pur­pose log­icServersMem­o­ry unitsPCs and note­booksDig­i­tal Elec­tron­icsNet­work­ingDig­i­tal sys­temsDocumentDatasheet
