An 74LVC2GU04 to be exact. They do use this simple ac-coupled-circuit in a PurePath Digital reference design for their rather sophisticated custom silicon for high-performance audio. -- Thanks, - Win

'U04' Variants have been used like this "forever".

Some > loonies have even been known to use them as amplifiers :-) Right, I'm well aware of that. Old stuff, dating back to the 60s when I started using cmos, or COS/MOS as RCA called it back then. But the question was about the viability of non-U types for this, do you have an opinion about that? Not what's naturally best, but whether it'll work OK. -- Thanks, - Win

The problem I have with it is: an 'HC04 is effectively THREE 'HCU04's in series, with size scaling for the gate-source capacitance build-up. So a low-pass feed-back biases at considerable rail-to-rail current. It'll function, but I don't recommend it. For my custom stuff, where such an animal is absolutely needed, I add current sources in the respective (device) sources to limit bias build-up. In a recent "monster" actuator driver I resorted to inverters where one side was a mirror until "swifty" speeds could be assured. ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson, CTO | mens | | Analog Innovations, Inc. | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | Phoenix, Arizona 85048 Skype: Contacts Only | | | Voice:(480)460-2350 Fax: Available upon request | Brass Rat | | E-mail Icon at http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | The only thing bipartisan in this country is hypocrisy
