74LVC02AD/C4J

Inverter Gates Overview

The Nexperia 74LVC02AD/C4J is a quad 2-input NOR gate manufactured in the LVC logic family. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.65 V to 3.6 V and supports overvoltage tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V. The device features Schmitt-trigger action for noise immunity and is specified for industrial temperature ranges from -40 °C to +85 °C or -40 °C to +125 °C. It complies with JEDEC standards JESD8-7A, JESD8-5A, and JESD8-C/JESD36. ESD protection exceeds 2000 V (HBM) and 1000 V (CDM).

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Quad 2-input NOR gate configuration
• Overvoltage tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V
• Schmitt-trigger action at all inputs
• Direct interface with TTL levels

Inverter Gates Applications

• Mixed 3.3 V and 5 V translation environments
• Industrial control systems
• Consumer electronics
• Computing equipment

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C4J' against official Nexperia documentation to confirm exact tape-and-reel packaging specifications and moisture sensitivity level. Ensure the selected variant matches the required operating temperature range, as the base part number covers both -40°C/+85°C and -40°C/+125°C options.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact quad NOR solution is needed for low-voltage digital logic applications. The LVC family offers high speed and low power consumption. Verify that the input signal levels are compatible with the 5.5 V tolerance if interfacing with higher voltage sources.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the Nexperia 74LVC02A series of quad 2-input NOR gates. The LVC family is designed for low-voltage CMOS applications, providing performance comparable to older 5 V logic families while operating at significantly lower supply voltages. It is widely used in portable and battery-powered devices.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the standard 74LVC02AD/118 and other quad NOR gates from the same LVC family. Ensure pinout compatibility and verify that the alternative package type meets the PCB layout requirements.
