Product details
Overview
MC74ACT04ML1 from onsemi is a hex inverter logic IC with TTL-compatible inputs, operating at 4.5–5.5 V supply, delivering ±24 mA output drive, and featuring 8.0–9.0 ns propagation delay (tPHL/tPLH) at 5 V/50 pF. It performs signal inversion in digital control paths of industrial PLC I/O modules.
For engineers reviewing the MC74ACT04ML1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include guaranteed 5 V operation, TTL input compatibility, 24 mA drive strength, low propagation delay, and EIAJ-14 package footprint compliance.
Technical Context
The MC74ACT04ML1 implements six independent CMOS inverters with buffered outputs and Schmitt-trigger–free inputs. Its TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V) enable direct interfacing with legacy 5 V TTL logic families without level shifting.
It operates strictly within 4.5–5.5 V supply range and guarantees AC performance (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 9.0 ns) and DC output voltage levels (VOH ≥ 4.4 V, VOL ≤ 0.44 V at IOL/IOH = ±24 mA) across –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Ensures stable operation in standard 5 V digital systems with ±10% rail tolerance. |
| Output Drive Current | ±24 mA - Sufficient to directly drive multiple 74-series TTL inputs or small LED indicators without external buffers. |
| Propagation Delay | ≤9.0 ns at 5 V/50 pF - Supports reliable timing in 100+ MHz clock distribution and synchronous control logic. |
| Input Voltage Thresholds | VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V - Guarantees robust noise margin (>0.4 V) when interfacing with 5 V TTL outputs. |
| Quiescent Supply Current | ≤40 µA - Enables low-static-power operation in battery-backed or always-on monitoring subsystems. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for use in industrial automation, motor drives, and outdoor embedded controllers. |
Pinout & Package
EIAJ-14 (Case 965) surface-mount package with 14-pin dual-in-line outline, 0.65 mm lead pitch, and JEDEC-compliant footprint for automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 13 | Input | Independent logic inputs for each of six inverter stages; TTL-compatible thresholds ensure interoperability with legacy 5 V logic. |
| 2, 4, 6, 10, 12, 14 | Output | Inverted logic outputs; each capable of sourcing/sinking ±24 mA into resistive or capacitive loads up to 50 pF. |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference for all inputs, outputs, and internal circuitry; requires low-impedance PCB connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply terminal; must be decoupled with ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitor near pin to suppress switching transients. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-Compatible Inputs | VIH = 2.0 V min / VIL = 0.8 V max at 5 V - Eliminates need for external level translators when driving from 74LS or 74F outputs. |
| High Output Drive | ±24 mA per output - Reduces external buffer count in fanout-heavy applications like address/data bus inversion. |
| Low Propagation Delay | tPHL/tPLH ≤ 9.0 ns - Enables use in high-speed control loops where gate delay impacts system timing budget. |
| Wide Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - Supports deployment in uncontrolled industrial enclosures without thermal derating. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Conditioning | Legacy System Logic Interface |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ACT04DR | SOIC-14 (D suffix), identical electrical specs, same 4.5–5.5 V operation and ±24 mA drive. | Same functional role; differs only in package (SOIC vs. EIAJ-14), requiring PCB layout change. | Select when SOIC-14 footprint is already standardized in design and reflow compatibility is prioritized. |
| 74VHC04M | Wider supply range (2–5.5 V), lower drive (±8 mA), higher VIH (3.5 V min), not TTL-compatible. | Suitable for mixed-voltage 3.3/5 V systems but cannot interface directly with 74LS outputs without pull-ups. | Choose only if supply flexibility outweighs TTL compatibility requirement and load current is ≤8 mA. |
Compared with SN74ACT04DR and 74VHC04M, the MC74ACT04ML1 uniquely combines EIAJ-14 packaging, guaranteed TTL input compatibility, and full 24 mA drive - making it optimal for space-constrained industrial control boards requiring drop-in replacement of legacy 74LS04 functions.

FAQ
What is the supply voltage range for the MC74ACT04ML1?
The MC74ACT04ML1 operates over a strict 4.5 V to 5.5 V DC supply range. Operation outside this window is not guaranteed and may cause functional failure or accelerated wear. This range ensures compatibility with regulated 5 V rails while accommodating typical ±5% tolerance in industrial power supplies. The MC74ACT04ML1 does not support 3.3 V or mixed-voltage operation.
Does the MC74ACT04ML1 have TTL-compatible inputs?
Yes, the MC74ACT04ML1 features TTL-compatible inputs with guaranteed VIH ≥ 2.0 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V. This allows direct connection to 74LS, 74F, and other legacy TTL outputs without level-shifting circuitry. The MC74ACT04ML1's input thresholds are specifically designed to match TTL logic families, unlike standard CMOS inverters such as the 74VHC04.
What is the maximum output drive capability of the MC74ACT04ML1?
The MC74ACT04ML1 delivers ±24 mA per output pin under guaranteed conditions (VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, TA = –40°C to +85°C). This drive strength supports fanout to multiple 74-series TTL inputs or direct driving of small LEDs and optocouplers. Exceeding ±24 mA risks violating VOH/VOL specifications and may degrade long-term reliability of the MC74ACT04ML1.
What package type is used for the MC74ACT04ML1?
The MC74ACT04ML1 uses the EIAJ-14 package (Case 965), a 14-pin surface-mount outline with 0.65 mm lead pitch and JEDEC-standard dimensions. It is distinct from SOIC-14 (D suffix) and TSSOP-14 (DT suffix) variants. The "M" suffix in MC74ACT04ML1 explicitly denotes EIAJ-14 packaging, confirmed in the official onsemi ordering information table.
What is the typical propagation delay of the MC74ACT04ML1 at 5 V?
At VCC = 5.0 V and CL = 50 pF, the MC74ACT04ML1 exhibits typical tPLH = 8.5 ns and tPHL = 8.0 ns, with guaranteed maximums of 9.0 ns and 8.5 ns respectively across –40°C to +85°C. These values are measured per inverter stage and reflect worst-case path delay under loaded conditions - critical for timing-critical control logic where cumulative gate delays impact system cycle time.
