MM74HCU04MTCX

MM74HCU04MTCX is a hex inverter IC from the 74HCU family. It contains six independent NOT gates, offering high‑speed CMOS performance with TTL‑compatible inputs. Designed for low power and 2–6 V operation, it’s ideal for inverting or buffering digital signals, level shifting between TTL/CMOS, and driving other logic stages or simple RC networks. The MTCX suffix denotes a specific surface‑mount package option (check the datasheet for exact package type, often a 14‑pin footprint with tape‑and‑reel options). Key features: six identical inverter gates, standard CMOS logic levels, low static power, and suitable noise margins. Typical use cases include signal inversion, buffering, fanout expansion, and basic logic conditioning in digital designs.
