74AC00SC

Overview

The onsemi 74AC00SC is a quad 2-input NAND gate integrated circuit belonging to the 74AC logic family. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2V to 6V and features outputs capable of sourcing and sinking 24mA. The device includes four independent NAND gates in a single package, designed for high-speed digital applications with reduced ICC consumption compared to earlier generations.

Feature Summary

• Contains four independent 2-input NAND logic gates
• Outputs provide 24mA source and sink current capability
• Operates across a wide 2V to 6V supply voltage range

Applications

• General-purpose digital logic circuits
• Signal gating and switching applications
• Data acquisition systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official datasheets, as variations may indicate different packaging or temperature ratings. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements for your assembly process. Ensure the selected variant matches your board layout constraints regarding pin count and package dimensions before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard quad NAND function is required with moderate drive strength. The 74AC series offers faster propagation delays than HC counterparts while maintaining CMOS compatibility. Consider the 74ACT variant if TTL-compatible input thresholds are necessary for interfacing with legacy logic families.

Part Context

This part belongs to the widely adopted 74AC (Advanced CMOS) logic family, known for high-speed performance comparable to LS-TTL but with lower power consumption. The 74AC00 specifically implements the fundamental NAND function, serving as a building block for complex combinational logic designs in consumer and industrial electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include MC74AC00DR2G and 74AC00MTCX from onsemi. Cross-manufacturer equivalents such as SN74AC00DR from Texas Instruments or NXP variants may also be compatible, provided pinouts and electrical characteristics align with the design requirements.
