Find pin-compatible and functional alternatives for the 74HC04PWRG hex inverter. This guide helps you compare key parameters like voltage, logic family, and package to select a suitable replacement.

AI replacement insight

Electrical riskmedium

Mismatched logic families (e.g., HCT) or voltage ranges can cause system failure.

Package risklow

TSSOP-14 is a standard package, making physical replacement straightforward.

Sourcing risklow

The 74HC04 is a common logic gate with many manufacturers and alternatives available.

Can it be replaced directly?

Direct replacement for 74HC04PWRG should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.

Best replacement path

The SN74HC04PWR from Texas Instruments is the most direct cross-vendor replacement, sharing the same logic family, package, and voltage range.

Main risk

The main risk is selecting a part from a different logic family (like HCT or LV) without verifying input logic level compatibility and supply voltage requirements.
