74LVC00AD,112

Inverter Gates Overview

The Nexperia 74LVC00AD,112 is a quad 2-input NAND gate in the LVC logic family. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.2 V to 3.6 V and features Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise tolerance. The device provides overvoltage tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V, enabling direct interfacing with 5 V devices in mixed-voltage environments. It is housed in an SO14 (SOT108-1) plastic small outline package with a body width of 3.9 mm. The component supports operation from -40 °C to +125 °C and complies with JEDEC standards JESD8-7A, JESD8-5A, and JESD8-C/JESD36.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Overvoltage tolerant inputs allow safe connection to 5 V signal sources without external protection.
• Schmitt-trigger action at all inputs ensures circuit stability against slow input rise and fall times.
• CMOS construction provides low power consumption suitable for battery-operated applications.
• Direct interface capability with TTL levels simplifies integration into legacy digital systems.

Inverter Gates Applications

• Translating signals between mixed 3.3 V and 5 V logic environments
• General-purpose digital logic processing
• Signal conditioning for noisy industrial environments

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required package type, as the 74LVC00A series includes multiple variants such as TSSOP and QFN. Confirm the temperature grade corresponds to your operational requirements, noting that the AD suffix specifies the extended -40 °C to +125 °C range. Ensure compliance with RoHS and REACH regulations if applicable to your manufacturing process.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed switching is not the primary requirement but robustness against voltage spikes is critical. The wide supply voltage range makes it suitable for portable electronics operating on varying battery levels. Consider the SO14 package dimensions for PCB layout constraints compared to smaller alternatives like the DHVQFN or DHXQFN options available in the same family.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the 74LVC00A family of quad 2-input NAND gates manufactured by Nexperia. The LVC series is designed for low-voltage CMOS applications, offering performance comparable to older 5 V logic families while consuming significantly less power. The 'AD' designation specifically identifies the SO14 surface-mount package variant within this product line.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

The 74LVC00APW serves as a pin-compatible alternative using the TSSOP14 package. For space-constrained designs, the 74LVC00ABQ (DHVQFN14) and 74LVC00ABZ (DHXQFN14) offer leadless thermal-enhanced packages with identical electrical characteristics and functionality.
