Product details
Overview
74VHC04SJX from ON Semiconductor is a hex inverter IC in 14-lead SOP (EIAJ TYPE II, 5.3mm wide) packaging, operating from 2.0V to 5.5V supply, delivering 3.8ns typical propagation delay at 5V, ±8mA output drive, and 2µA max quiescent current at 25°C - used for logic-level inversion in digital control, interface buffering, and clock signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the 74VHC04SJX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include input voltage tolerance (–0.5V to +7.0V), noise immunity (28% VCC min), low dynamic noise (VOLP = 0.4V typ.), power-down input protection, and compatibility with 74HC04 function and pinout.
Technical Context
The 74VHC04SJX implements six independent CMOS inverter gates using silicon gate technology, with three-stage buffered outputs to ensure stable switching and high noise rejection. Each gate features input protection enabling safe operation across 0V–7V input regardless of VCC, supporting mixed-voltage interfacing (e.g., 5V-to-3V systems) and battery-backup configurations.
It operates within –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature, supports 15pF and 50pF load conditions per AC specs, and maintains guaranteed VIH/VIL thresholds (0.7×VCC / 0.3×VCC) across full VCC range (2.0–5.5V), ensuring robust logic-level interpretation in noisy industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.0V to 5.5V - enables direct use in both 3.3V and 5V digital systems without level shifters |
| tPD (typ) | 3.8ns at VCC = 5V, CL = 15pF - supports >100MHz toggle rates in clean-signal paths |
| IOUT (max) | ±8mA - sufficient to drive standard TTL loads or multiple 74VHC inputs |
| VNIH/VNIL | 28% VCC (min) - provides margin against ground bounce and crosstalk in dense PCB layouts |
| ICC (max) | 2µA at TA = 25°C - ensures ultra-low static power in battery-powered or always-on logic stages |
| VIN Range | –0.5V to +7.0V - allows safe input overvoltage handling during hot-swap or supply sequencing |
| Input Capacitance | 4pF (typ) - minimizes capacitive loading on preceding drivers and preserves signal edge integrity |
Pinout & Package
74VHC04SJX uses a 14-lead Small Outline Package (SOP), EIAJ TYPE II, 5.3mm body width, with gull-wing leads and JEDEC-compliant land pattern (SOP65P640X110-14M). Pin 1 marked by notch or bevel.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 13 | Inverter Input (A1–A6) | Dedicated CMOS input per gate; accepts –0.5V to +7.0V; internally protected against overvoltage |
| 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 | Inverter Output (Y1–Y6) | Push-pull CMOS output; drives ±8mA; VOL ≤ 0.44V at IOL = 8mA, VCC = 4.5V |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference for all logic and power domains; must be low-impedance connection |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply rail; decoupling capacitor (0.1µF) required adjacent to pin for noise suppression |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-speed propagation | 3.8ns typical delay at 5V enables timing-critical signal inversion without added latency |
| Input overvoltage tolerance | Supports –0.5V to +7.0V input range independent of VCC - eliminates need for external clamping diodes |
| Power-down input protection | Inputs remain protected and non-damaging even when VCC = 0V - critical for partial-power-down systems |
| Low dynamic output noise | VOLP = 0.4V (typ) at CL = 50pF reduces simultaneous switching noise in multi-gate arrays |
| 74HC04 pin/function compatibility | Direct drop-in replacement for legacy 74HC04 designs - no layout or firmware changes required |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Conditioning | Automotive Body Control Module Logic |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HC04D,653 (Nexperia) | Slower tPD (19ns typ @ 5V, 15pF); higher ICC (20µA max); same 14-lead SO package | Lower speed limits use in >20MHz clock paths; higher ICC increases system standby power | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs speed/power requirements and legacy 74HC footprint is mandatory |
| SN74LVC04APWR (TI) | Wider VCC range (1.65V–5.5V); lower tPD (4.5ns typ @ 3.3V); 32mA drive; TSSOP-14 package | Enables 1.8V logic integration; higher drive supports heavier capacitive loads but requires different land pattern | Select for new designs targeting 1.8V/3.3V mixed-supply systems where board space permits TSSOP |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the 74VHC04SJX?
The 74VHC04SJX supports DC input voltages from –0.5V to +7.0V, independent of VCC level. This overvoltage tolerance enables safe operation during hot-swap events, supply sequencing mismatches, and interfacing with higher-voltage sensors - verified per Absolute Maximum Ratings table in Fairchild Rev. 1.3.0 datasheet.
Does the 74VHC04SJX require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?
Yes - unused inputs on the 74VHC04SJX must be externally held HIGH or LOW; floating inputs are prohibited per Recommended Operating Conditions. This prevents increased ICC, erratic output states, and potential thermal overstress due to intermediate input voltage levels activating both PMOS and NMOS devices simultaneously.
Is the 74VHC04SJX pin-compatible with the 74HC04 series?
Yes, the 74VHC04SJX is pin- and function-compatible with the 74HC04 family. All six inverter inputs (pins 1,3,5,9,11,13) and outputs (pins 2,4,6,8,10,12) match the standard 14-pin DIP/SOIC/SOP layout, and truth table behavior is identical - confirmed in General Description and Pin Description sections of the datasheet.
What is the typical output drive capability of the 74VHC04SJX at 5V supply?
At VCC = 5.0V, the 74VHC04SJX delivers ±8mA output current per gate, with VOL ≤ 0.44V at IOL = 8mA and VOH ≥ 3.94V at IOH = –8mA. This drive strength supports fan-out to 10+ 74VHC inputs or direct LED sinking with appropriate current-limiting resistors.
Can the 74VHC04SJX operate reliably at –40°C?
Yes, the 74VHC04SJX is fully specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C. Propagation delay, noise margins, and output voltage levels are guaranteed across this full industrial temperature range - validated in Recommended Operating Conditions and DC/AC Electrical Characteristics tables.
