The NC7ST04 is a single high performance CMOS Inverter, with TTL-compatible inputs. Advanced Silicon Gate CMOS fabrication assures high speed and low power circuit operation. ESD protection diodes inherently guard both input and output with respect to the VCC and GND rails. High gain circuitry offers high noise immunity and reduced sensitivity to input edge rate. The TTL-compatible input facilitates TTL to NMOS/CMOS interfacing. Device performance is similar to MM74HCT but with ½ the output current drive of HC/HCT.
