Product details
Overview
74HC04DB-Q100 from Nexperia is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified hex inverter IC designed for automotive signal inversion and logic-level translation. It operates across 2.0 V to 6.0 V supply, delivers propagation delay as low as 7 ns at VCC = 6.0 V (CL = 50 pF), and features CMOS input levels with clamp diodes enabling overvoltage-tolerant interfacing. It is used in engine control unit (ECU) level-shifting, body electronics signal conditioning, and infotainment system logic buffering.
For engineers reviewing the 74HC04DB-Q100 datasheet, 74HC04DB-Q100 pinout, 74HC04DB-Q100 application, or 74HC04DB-Q100 equivalent, key selection criteria include its -40 °C to +125 °C automotive temperature range, SO14 package compatibility, TTL-compatible 74HCT04DB-Q100 alternative, and verified 25 mA output drive capability per inverter stage under load.
Technical Context
This device implements six independent CMOS inverter gates in a single monolithic IC, each with symmetrical push-pull output stages capable of sourcing/sinking ±25 mA. Input clamp diodes allow safe interface to signals exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors - critical for mixed-voltage domain communication in automotive modules.
Its static characteristics are specified across two temperature ranges (-40 °C to +85 °C and -40 °C to +125 °C), with VIH = 4.2 V (min) and VOL = 0.26 V (max) at VCC = 6.0 V and IO = 5.2 mA, ensuring robust noise margins in noisy vehicle environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 6.0 V - supports direct integration with 3.3 V and 5 V automotive subsystems without level shifters. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 7 ns (typ) at VCC = 6.0 V, CL = 50 pF - enables high-speed signal inversion in timing-critical control loops. |
| Output Drive Current | ±25 mA per inverter - sufficient to directly drive LEDs, small relays, or fan-out to ≥10 standard CMOS inputs. |
| Input Clamp Diodes | Integrated - permits safe connection to voltages up to VCC + 0.5 V using external series resistors, simplifying mixed-rail interfacing. |
| AEC-Q100 Qualification | Grade 1 (-40 °C to +125 °C) - certified for powertrain, chassis, and ADAS applications requiring extended temperature reliability. |
| ESD Protection | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - meets stringent automotive ESD immunity requirements per JS-001/JS-002. |
Pinout & Package
74HC04DB-Q100 is housed in a plastic small outline package (SO14) per SOT337-1 specification: 14-pin, 3.9 mm body width, 1.27 mm lead pitch, with gull-wing leads suitable for reflow soldering and AOI inspection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, 6A (Pins 1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 13) | Input | CMOS-level digital inputs; each includes internal clamp diodes to GND and VCC for overvoltage protection. |
| 1Y, 2Y, 3Y, 4Y, 5Y, 6Y (Pins 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12) | Output | Inverted logic outputs with rail-to-rail swing and ±25 mA drive strength; compatible with TTL and CMOS loads. |
| GND (Pin 7) | Ground Reference | Primary 0 V reference for all I/O and internal circuitry; must be low-impedance for stable noise immunity. |
| VCC (Pin 14) | Supply Voltage | Single positive supply input; decoupling capacitor (100 nF) recommended within 5 mm of this pin for transient suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 certified - validated for continuous operation from -40 °C to +125 °C in safety-critical ECUs. |
| Wide VCC range | 2.0 V to 6.0 V operation - eliminates need for separate voltage regulators in multi-supply automotive boards. |
| High noise immunity | Typical noise margin > 1.8 V at VCC = 5 V - suppresses false triggering from ignition noise and alternator ripple. |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 100 mA per JESD78 Class II Level B - prevents destructive latch-up during ESD or load dump events. |
| Side-wettable flanks | Not applicable - SO14 (SOT337-1) variant lacks side-wettable flanks; DHVQFN variant (SOT762-1) supports AOI. |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Signal Inversion | Body Control Module (BCM) Logic Buffering |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT04DB-Q100 | TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min), identical SO14 package and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 rating. | Better suited for interfacing legacy 5 V TTL logic without pull-up resistors. | Select when driving from 5 V microcontrollers or legacy peripherals with TTL output thresholds. |
| 74LVC04GW-Q100 | Lower VCC range (1.65 V to 5.5 V), higher speed (tpd = 4.2 ns typ @ 3.3 V), same AEC-Q100 Grade 1. | Optimized for modern 3.3 V/1.8 V domains; not suitable for 5 V-only systems. | Prefer for new designs targeting 3.3 V power rails and tighter timing budgets in ADAS or infotainment SoC interfaces. |
Compared with 74HC04DB-Q100, the 74HCT04DB-Q100 offers easier integration with 5 V TTL sources but sacrifices some noise margin, while the 74LVC04GW-Q100 delivers faster switching at lower voltage but requires redesign of supply and level-shifting architecture.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for 74HC04DB-Q100?
The 74HC04DB-Q100 is qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1, with full functionality guaranteed from -40 °C to +125 °C ambient temperature. Its limiting storage temperature extends to +150 °C, and absolute maximum supply voltage is +7 V, but sustained operation above +125 °C is not supported per specification.
Can 74HC04DB-Q100 drive a 10 kΩ pull-up resistor on its output?
Yes - with VOH ≥ 4.4 V (min) at VCC = 4.5 V and IO = -4.0 mA, the output can reliably maintain HIGH logic level into a 10 kΩ pull-up to 5 V. The device's ±25 mA output drive ensures minimal voltage drop even under heavier capacitive or resistive loads typical in automotive harness interfaces.
Does 74HC04DB-Q100 support mixed-voltage interfacing without external components?
No - while integrated input clamp diodes allow safe connection to voltages exceeding VCC (up to VCC + 0.5 V), external current-limiting resistors are mandatory to limit IIK to ±20 mA. Direct connection to 12 V signals or unregulated supplies requires series resistance calculated per Ohm's Law to avoid violating absolute maximum ratings.
Is there a pin-compatible replacement with improved ESD performance?
The 74LVC04GW-Q100 shares the same SOT363 (SC-88) footprint and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 rating but uses a different package (not SO14). For true pin-compatible upgrade, the 74HC04D-Q100 (SO14) offers identical pinout and enhanced thermal performance in the same SOT108-1 package, with identical HBM > 2000 V ESD rating per JS-001 Class 2.
