74HCT04DB,118 datasheet by NXP Semiconductors

74HCT04DB,118 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended operating voltage range for the 74HCT04DB,118?
  The recommended operating voltage range for the 74HCT04DB,118 is 4.5V to 5.5V, with a typical voltage of 5V.
• How do I ensure the 74HCT04DB,118 is properly powered?
  To ensure proper power supply, connect VCC to a stable 5V power source, and GND to a reliable ground connection. Also, decouple the power supply with a 0.1uF capacitor to reduce noise and ensure stable operation.
• What is the maximum frequency of operation for the 74HCT04DB,118?
  The maximum frequency of operation for the 74HCT04DB,118 is typically around 30MHz, but this can vary depending on the specific application and operating conditions.
• How do I handle unused inputs on the 74HCT04DB,118?
  Unused inputs on the 74HCT04DB,118 should be tied to a valid logic level (either VCC or GND) to prevent floating inputs and ensure proper operation.
• Is the 74HCT04DB,118 compatible with 3.3V logic?
  The 74HCT04DB,118 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, so level shifting may be required.
