The MM74HCT04 is a logic function fabricated by using advanced silicon-gate CMOS technology which provides the inherent benefits of CMOS - low quiescent power and wide power supply range. This device is input and output characteristic as well as pin-out compatible with standard 74LS logic families. The MM74HCT04, triple buffered, hex inverters, features low power dissipation and fast switching times. All inputs are protected from static discharge by internal diodes to VCCand ground. MM74HCT devices are intended to interface between TTL and NMOS components and standard CMOS devices. These parts are also plug-in replacements for LS-TTL devices and can be used to reduce power consumption in existing designs.
