It should be 74HCU04 instead of 74HC04

The HCU04 part is unbuffered -- it's essentially a pair of MOSFETs. It's an inverter, but it's more like a unity-gain analog inverter -- if the inputs are not square waves, the outputs won't be square waves.

It's commonly used with a crystal in oscillator circuits.

The 74HC14, on the other hand, is a Schmitt trigger inverter. This device WILL square up unsquare inputs.

In other words, these devices are both inverters, but you cannot substitute one for the other in applications designed to use each chip's "feature."
 
Compatible 74HC04 is 74AC04

74HC04 delay 8ns state logical V IL- 30% Vcc , V IH - 70% Vcc, Vcc +2.- 6V

74AC04 delay 4ns state logikal V IL- 30% Vcc , V IH - 70% Vcc, Vcc +2 - 6V

74HCT14 compatible 74ACT14

74HCT14 delay 9ns VIL-0,8V, V IH-2V, Vcc 4,5- 5,5V.

74ACT14 delay 6ns VIL-0,8V, VIH -2V, Vcc 4,5 -5,5V.

Arrangements are compatible.
Logical the same levels.

I exchanged juz this arrangement.
Effect is superb.

What about the 74VHC04? Elso seems to favour the VHC series...

ELSO?

Hi Arne,
Yes tried them all HC, AC and VHC logic. To me VHC logic sounds the best.
But you can not replace a 74HC04 by a 74HC14, of course.
For SPDIF outputbuffering I am using the 74VHC04.
In a Pierce type crystal oscillator you have to use the 74HCU04 (unbuffered version). Could be replaced by a 74VHCU04 but I prefer a real clock like the KWAK-CLOCK.
:cool:
 
VHCU is also very best.

AC applies WADIA
