74LVC00APW/AUJ

Inverter Gates Overview

The NXP USA Inc. 74LVC00APW/AUJ is a quad 2-input NAND gate manufactured by Nexperia under the LVC/LCX/Z series. It operates within a wide supply voltage range of 1.2 V to 3.6 V and features overvoltage tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V, enabling direct interfacing with 5 V logic devices in mixed-voltage environments. The device incorporates Schmitt-trigger action at all inputs to tolerate slower rise and fall times. It complies with JEDEC standards for various voltage ranges and provides high ESD protection exceeding 2000 V (HBM) and 1000 V (CDM). The component is specified for operation from -40 °C to +125 °C and utilizes a TSSOP14 package.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Quad 2-input NAND gate configuration with Schmitt-trigger inputs
• Overvoltage tolerant inputs supporting 5.5 V levels
• Wide supply voltage range from 1.2 V to 3.6 V
• High ESD protection compliant with ANSI/ESDA/JEDEC standards

Inverter Gates Applications

• Mixed 3.3 V and 5 V logic environments
• Direct interface with TTL levels
• Translation between different voltage domains

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix AUJ corresponds to the TSSOP14 plastic thin shrink small outline package (SOT402-1) as documented in the official datasheet. Confirm the temperature range specification matches the required operational environment, specifically checking if the -40 °C to +125 °C rating applies to the specific batch or variant being procured. Ensure compliance with the latest product data sheet revision for accurate pinning and electrical characteristics.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad NAND gate is required for low-voltage CMOS applications interfacing with higher voltage logic. The overvoltage tolerance eliminates the need for external level shifters in mixed-voltage systems. Consider the TSSOP14 package for space-constrained designs requiring surface-mount technology. Verify input transition rates against the specified limits to ensure proper Schmitt-trigger functionality.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the 74LVC00A family of quad 2-input NAND gates produced by Nexperia. The LVC series is designed for low-power consumption while maintaining high-speed performance. The APW/AUJ designation indicates a specific package and temperature grade variant within the broader 74LVC00A product line, sharing functional compatibility with other packages like SO14 or DHVQFN14.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 74LVC00A variants such as 74LVC00AD (SO14) or 74LVC00ABQ (DHVQFN14) for pin-compatible alternatives. Verify package dimensions and thermal dissipation requirements when substituting with different package types from the same logical family.
