Description
The MM74HCU04M is a high-speed Hex Inverter utilizing advanced silicon-gate CMOS technology. The “U” suffix denotes that this device contains “Unbuffered” inverters. Unlike standard buffered inverters, the unbuffered output stage provides a linear gain characteristic, which makes this device particularly well-suited for use in analog amplifier circuits, crystal oscillators, and high-speed pulse shaping applications.
This IC contains six independent inverters ($Y = \overline{A}$). Because they are unbuffered, they offer lower output impedance than buffered versions and avoid the excessive gain that can sometimes cause oscillation in sensitive applications. The SOIC-14 surface-mount package is ideal for modern, space-efficient PCB layouts.
