74HCT04DB,112 datasheet by NXP Semiconductors

74HCT04DB,112 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended operating voltage range for the 74HCT04DB,112?
  The recommended operating voltage range for the 74HCT04DB,112 is 4.5V to 5.5V, with a typical voltage of 5V.
• How do I ensure that the 74HCT04DB,112 is properly powered and decoupled?
  To ensure proper powering and decoupling, connect a 0.1uF ceramic capacitor between the VCC pin and GND pin, and place it as close to the device as possible. Additionally, use a low-ESR capacitor with a value of 10uF or more to filter the power supply.
• What is the maximum frequency of operation for the 74HCT04DB,112?
  The maximum frequency of operation for the 74HCT04DB,112 is 30MHz, but this can vary depending on the specific application and operating conditions.
• How do I handle unused inputs on the 74HCT04DB,112?
  Unused inputs on the 74HCT04DB,112 should be tied to either VCC or GND through a 1kΩ resistor to prevent floating inputs and reduce power consumption.
• Is the 74HCT04DB,112 compatible with 3.3V logic?
  The 74HCT04DB,112 is a 5V device, but it can be used with 3.3V logic as long as the input voltage is within the recommended operating range (4.5V to 5.5V). However, the output voltage may not be compatible with 3.3V logic, and level shifting may be required.
