Product details
Overview
M74HC04RM13TR from STMicroelectronics is a high-speed CMOS hex inverter in SO14 package, operating from 2 V to 6 V supply, delivering 8 ns typical propagation delay at 6 V and ±4 mA output drive capability. It features symmetrical output impedance, 28% VCC minimum noise immunity, and -55 °C to +125 °C industrial temperature range. Used for digital signal inversion in logic-level translation, clock buffering, and waveform shaping in embedded control systems.
For engineers reviewing the M74HC04RM13TR datasheet, M74HC04RM13TR pinout, M74HC04RM13TR application, or M74HC04RM13TR equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, SO14 terminal mapping, DC/AC electrical specs across full temperature range, automotive-grade alternatives, and supply-chain support details specific to this tape-and-reel variant.
Technical Context
The M74HC04RM13TR implements six independent CMOS inverter gates using silicon gate C2MOS technology with three-stage buffered outputs. Each gate exhibits matched tPLH and tPHL delays (e.g., 8 ns typ. at VCC = 6 V), enabling precise timing control in synchronous logic paths.
All inputs include integrated protection circuits against ESD (CDM 1 kV, HBM 2 kV) and transient overvoltage. The device maintains rail-to-rail output swing (VOH ≥ 5.9 V, VOL ≤ 0.1 V at VCC = 6 V, IO = ±20 μA) and draws only 1 μA max quiescent current at 25 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Operating Range | 2 V to 6 V - supports dual-supply logic interfacing and battery-powered operation down to 2 V |
| tPD Propagation Delay | 8 ns (typ.) at VCC = 6 V - enables reliable 125 MHz toggle frequency in clean load conditions |
| IOL / IOH Drive | ±4 mA min at VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to drive 10 LS-TTL loads or 20 pF capacitive bus |
| VNI Noise Immunity | 28% VCC min - ensures robust operation in noisy industrial environments with >1.7 V margin at 6 V |
| ICC Quiescent Current | 1 μA max at TA = 25 °C - critical for low-power sleep-mode retention in portable systems |
| Temperature Range | -55 °C to +125 °C - qualified for extended industrial and under-hood automotive subsystems |
| ESD Rating | HBM: 2 kV, CDM: 1 kV - exceeds IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 for board-level handling reliability |
Pinout & Package
Package: SO14 (Small Outline, 14-pin, 3.9 mm width, 1.27 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant ECOPACK® grade.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 13 | 1A–6A Inputs | CMOS-compatible logic inputs accepting 0–VCC voltage levels; each protected by clamping diodes |
| 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 | 1Y–6Y Outputs | Inverted logic outputs with symmetrical sourcing/sinking capability up to ±4 mA |
| 7 | GND | Dedicated ground reference for all six gates; must be low-impedance connection to minimize switching noise |
| 14 | VCC | Single positive supply rail shared across all gates; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hex inverter function | Six independent, unbuffered inverters in one SO14 package - reduces PCB area vs discrete solutions |
| High noise immunity | VIH/VIL thresholds fixed at 3.15 V / 1.35 V (at VCC = 4.5 V) - prevents false triggering in EMI-prone environments |
| Low power consumption | ICC ≤ 1 μA at 25 °C - enables multi-gate logic functions in always-on sensor nodes without battery drain |
| Pin compatibility | Direct drop-in replacement for legacy 74LS04 and 74HC04 families - simplifies legacy design upgrades |
| Wide voltage operation | Functional from 2 V (e.g., single Li-ion cell) to 6 V (industrial 5 V rails with tolerance) - eliminates level shifters |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Conditioning | Automotive Body Control Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HC04DR | Same logic function, SO14 package, but rated only to +85 °C (not -55 °C to +125 °C); ICC = 2 μA max | Limited to commercial/office equipment; not suitable for under-hood or outdoor industrial enclosures | Select when ambient temperature stays below 85 °C and cost sensitivity outweighs extended temp qualification |
| MC74HC04ADTR2G | SO14, -55 °C to +125 °C, but specified for 2 V–6 V with 10 ns tPD (typ.) at 6 V; higher ICC = 2 μA max | Valid for same extended-temp use cases but with 25% longer propagation delay affecting high-speed timing margins | Choose if ST's M74HC04RM13TR is unavailable and system timing budget allows +2 ns per gate |
Compared with SN74HC04DR and MC74HC04ADTR2G, the M74HC04RM13TR uniquely combines -55 °C to +125 °C operation, 8 ns tPD, and 1 μA ICC - making it optimal for thermally demanding, low-power, high-timing-precision applications where both reliability and speed are non-negotiable.

FAQ
Is M74HC04RM13TR qualified for automotive applications?
No - although rated for -55 °C to +125 °C, M74HC04RM13TR lacks AEC-Q100 qualification. For automotive use, select M74HC04YRM13TR (AEC-Q100 Grade 2, -40 °C to +125 °C) or M74HC04YTTR (AEC-Q100 Grade 2, TSSOP14). This part is intended for industrial and extended-temperature commercial systems only.
What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive reliably?
At VCC = 6 V, the M74HC04RM13TR maintains 8 ns typical tPD with CL = 50 pF. Driving >100 pF increases transition time nonlinearly; for loads above 75 pF, add series termination or buffer stages. Output rise/fall times remain <22 ns (max) up to 50 pF per gate per datasheet Table 7.
Can unused inputs be left floating?
No - floating CMOS inputs cause increased ICC, oscillation, and potential latch-up. All unused inputs must be tied to VCC or GND via ≤10 kΩ resistor. Internal protection diodes do not eliminate risk of metastability or excessive current draw when inputs float near VCC/2.
Does this part support mixed-voltage interfacing (e.g., 3.3 V MCU to 5 V peripheral)?
Yes - with VIH = 3.15 V (min) at VCC = 4.5 V, the M74HC04RM13TR accepts 3.3 V logic-high signals directly. However, its VOH is rail-referenced (e.g., ~4.4 V at VCC = 4.5 V), so level-shifting may still be needed for strict 5 V TTL compatibility. Always verify interface thresholds against connected device datasheets.
