Product details

Overview

MC74VHCT04ADTR2 from onsemi is a hex inverting buffer/driver IC operating at 2V–5.5V supply, featuring TTL-compatible inputs, CMOS outputs, 8mA output drive, and guaranteed propagation delay ≤7.5ns at V_CC = 5V. It serves as a level-shifting logic inverter in digital interface circuits between legacy TTL and modern low-voltage CMOS systems.

For engineers reviewing the MC74VHCT04ADTR2 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include input threshold compatibility with 5V TTL, rail-to-rail CMOS output swing, industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), and TSSOP-14 package suitability for high-density PCB layouts.

Technical Context

This device implements six independent CMOS inverters with buffered TTL-compatible input stages, enabling direct interfacing with standard 5V TTL logic while driving 3.3V or 5V CMOS loads. Each gate exhibits symmetrical rise/fall times and maintains noise immunity via hysteresis-free Schmitt-trigger-free design.

It operates across the full industrial voltage range (2.0V–5.5V) without function degradation, supports bus-hold functionality on all inputs (per datasheet Figure 6), and meets JEDEC JESD78 Class II latch-up immunity requirements.

Key Specifications

Input Threshold (V_IL/V_IH)	≤0.8V / ≥2.0V at V_CC = 5V - Matches standard TTL input levels for seamless 5V TTL-to-CMOS translation.
Output Drive (I_OH/I_OL)	−8mA / +8mA at V_CC = 5V - Sufficient to drive 10 LSTTL loads or two 74AC gates.
Propagation Delay (t_PD)	≤7.5ns max at V_CC = 5V, C_L = 50pF - Supports >100MHz toggle rates in non-critical timing paths.
Operating Temperature	−40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and instrumentation applications.
Static Current (I_CC)	≤2µA at V_CC = 5V - Enables low-quiescent-power operation in always-on logic interfaces.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar hex inverter applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
SN74LVC04APWR	Lower V_CC min (1.65V), higher speed (t_PD ≤5.4ns), but TTL input thresholds not guaranteed - requires external biasing for 5V TTL input compatibility.	Suitable for pure 3.3V systems; not recommended for direct 5V TTL interface without redesign.	Select when migrating fully to 3.3V logic and prioritizing speed over legacy compatibility.
74HC04D,653	Wider V_CC range (2–6V), but input thresholds scale with V_CC (V_IH ≈0.7×V_CC) - fails to meet TTL V_IH = 2.0V requirement at V_CC = 3.3V.	Requires V_CC = 5V to satisfy TTL input specs; unsuitable for mixed 3.3V/5V operation.	Choose only if system operates exclusively at 5V and needs higher drive (±25mA) than MC74VHCT04ADTR2 provides.

Compared with SN74LVC04APWR and 74HC04D,653, the MC74VHCT04ADTR2 uniquely guarantees TTL-compatible input thresholds across its entire 2.0–5.5V supply range, making it the only option that supports true 5V TTL-to-3.3V CMOS translation without external components or voltage scaling.

FAQ

Is MC74VHCT04ADTR2 pin-compatible with the obsolete 74LS04?

Yes, MC74VHCT04ADTR2 uses the same 14-pin TSSOP footprint and identical pinout as 74LS04, enabling direct PCB replacement. All six inverter inputs and outputs map one-to-one, and GND/V_CC positions match exactly. No layout changes are required for retrofit applications.

What is the maximum output current capability of MC74VHCT04ADTR2 at 3.3V supply?

At V_CC = 3.3V, MC74VHCT04ADTR2 delivers ±6mA output current (I_OH/I_OL), verified per datasheet Figure 5. This supports driving two 74LVC gates or a single LED with 220Ω series resistor while maintaining VOH ≥2.7V and VOL ≤0.55V.

Does MC74VHCT04ADTR2 support bus-hold functionality?

Yes, MC74VHCT04ADTR2 incorporates internal bus-hold circuitry on all six inputs, preventing floating states during tri-state transitions. This feature is documented in the onsemi datasheet Figure 6 and eliminates the need for external pull-up/down resistors in unused input scenarios.

Can MC74VHCT04ADTR2 operate reliably at 2.0V supply?

Yes, MC74VHCT04ADTR2 is fully specified down to 2.0V supply, with guaranteed t_PD ≤15ns and I_OH/I_OL ≥±4mA at V_CC = 2.0V. This enables use in ultra-low-power battery-operated systems where supply voltage may sag below 2.5V.

What is the ESD rating of MC74VHCT04ADTR2?

MC74VHCT04ADTR2 is rated for Human Body Model (HBM) ESD protection of ±2kV per JESD22-A114, and Charged Device Model (CDM) ESD protection of ±1kV per JESD22-C101. These ratings are validated during manufacturing and ensure robust handling in standard assembly environments.
