7404 Hex Inverter NOT Gate Logic IC

The 7404 Hex Inverter NOT Gate Logic IC is a digital logic component featuring six independent inverter gates (NOT gates) within a single 14-pin Dual In-line Package (DIP). It is a fundamental building block in digital electronics, used to invert logic signals in a wide range of circuit designs. The 7404 IC is highly compatible with TTL voltage levels and is available in various family variants such as SN74LS04, SN74LS04N, SN74HC04, and 74HC04, offering options for both TTL and CMOS logic applications.

Each inverter in the IC accepts a standard digital signal and outputs the logical inverse, making it essential for control signals, signal timing, and data transmission systems. The LS series (Low-Power Schottky TTL) provides fast switching and reliable TTL performance, while the HC series (High-Speed CMOS) enables operation over a broader voltage range with lower power consumption.

The IC’s 14-pin DIP package allows for easy mounting on breadboards and PCBs, making it ideal for prototyping, development, and educational purposes.
