CD74ACT04E Description

The CD74ACT04E from Texas Instruments is a high-performance hex inverter integrated circuit (IC) belonging to the 74ACT series, designed for high-speed logic applications. Housed in a 14-pin DIP (Dual Inline Package), this through-hole-mount device operates within a 4.5V to 5.5V supply range, making it ideal for 5V TTL-compatible systems. With six independent inverters (1 input per channel), it delivers low-power consumption (max quiescent current of 4 µA) while maintaining robust output drive capability (24mA sink/source current). Its 9.3ns propagation delay at 5V/50pF ensures reliable performance in timing-critical circuits.
