74LCX27MTC

Inverter Gates Overview

The Fairchild Semiconductor 74LCX27MTC is a low-voltage triple 3-input NOR gate from the 74LCX logic family. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 3.6 V, with a typical rated voltage of 2.5 V. The device features a propagation delay of 5.9 ns and is housed in a 14-pin PDSO (SOIC-14) package. It supports industrial operating temperatures from -40 °C to +85 °C and includes 5V tolerant inputs.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Triple 3-input NOR logic function
• Low voltage operation compatible with 2V to 3.6V supplies
• 5V tolerant input levels for mixed-voltage interfacing

Inverter Gates Applications

• Digital logic control circuits
• Mixed-voltage signal processing interfaces
• Portable electronic devices requiring low power consumption

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify component status carefully as this part is listed as obsolete or not in production by Fairchild Semiconductor. Confirm availability through authorized distributors or secondary markets. Ensure the package type matches the required 14-pin SOIC footprint. Check for RoHS compliance documentation if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component only if legacy compatibility with the 74LCX series is required. Consider that the device is obsolete; alternative sources may vary in authenticity. Verify that the 3.6V maximum supply voltage meets system requirements. Ensure the 5.9ns delay is sufficient for the target application timing constraints.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This component belongs to the Fairchild 74LCX series, designed for low-voltage CMOS applications. Fairchild Semiconductor was acquired by ON Semiconductor in September 2016. The 74LCX27MTC specifically provides three independent NOR gates in a compact surface-mount package, suitable for space-constrained designs.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided data. Due to the obsolete status, direct replacements should be sourced from ON Semiconductor or equivalent manufacturers offering current 74LCX series equivalents.
