74HCT2G02DC,125

Overview

The 74HCT2G02DC,125 is a dual 2-input NOR gate integrated circuit manufactured by Nexperia (formerly NXP). It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V. The device features a low level output current of 5.2 mA and a high level output current of -5.2 mA. Propagation delay time is specified at 29 ns. It is housed in an 8-VSSOP package with dimensions of 0.091 inches (2.30 mm) width. The operating temperature range extends from -40°C to 125°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual-channel configuration providing two independent 2-input NOR logic functions in a single compact package.
• CMOS technology implementation ensuring compatibility with standard HCT logic families for system integration.
• Wide operating temperature range supporting reliable performance in industrial and commercial environments.

Applications

• Digital logic circuits requiring NOR gate functionality
• Embedded systems utilizing HCT-compatible logic levels
• Industrial control interfaces operating within specified voltage and temperature ranges

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation carefully, as this component is associated with both NXP Semiconductors and Nexperia USA Inc. due to corporate restructuring. Confirm the specific suffix DC,125 corresponds to the 8-VSSOP package variant. Check current availability status as some distributors list this part as discontinued or replaced by equivalent Nexperia stock. Ensure RoHS compliance documentation matches the required regulatory standards for your application.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual NOR gate solution is required in a small outline package. The HCT series ensures compatibility with 5V TTL logic inputs while maintaining CMOS power characteristics. Consider the 8-VSSOP footprint constraints during PCB layout. Verify that the 29 ns propagation delay meets the timing requirements of the target digital circuit. Ensure the operating temperature range aligns with the environmental conditions of the final assembly.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 74HCT2G02 family of dual 2-input NOR gates. It is functionally equivalent to other variants such as the 74HCT2G02DP,125 which uses a different package. The component represents a transition point between NXP and Nexperia branding in the logic IC market. It serves as a standard building block for combinational logic design in consumer and industrial electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Nexperia USA Inc. offers parameter-equivalent alternatives. Verify pinout compatibility before substitution. Cross-reference datasheets to confirm identical electrical specifications and package dimensions. Ensure the replacement part maintains the same HCT logic family characteristics for seamless integration.
