DM74AS10MX

Inverter Gates Overview

The DM74AS10MX is a Triple 3-Input NAND Gate from the Advanced Schottky (AS) logic family, manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor. It features three independent gates within a single package, performing the NAND logic function with three inputs per gate. The component utilizes an Advanced oxide-isolated, ion-implanted Schottky TTL process to deliver high-speed switching performance while maintaining low power dissipation relative to standard Schottky counterparts. It is housed in a 16-Lead Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package, conforming to JEDEC MS-011A standards.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Advanced Schottky process technology for improved switching speed and reduced power consumption compared to standard Schottky devices
• Contains three independent 3-input NAND gates providing versatile logic implementation
• Functional and pin-compatible with industry-standard 74LS and Schottky logic families

Inverter Gates Applications

• High-speed digital signal processing circuits
• Microprocessor-based system logic interfaces
• Memory subsystem buffering and gating

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'MX' against official Fairchild or onsemi documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging and lead-free status. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints designed for the 16-SOIC package. Confirm that the Advanced Schottky voltage levels align with the target system's I/O requirements before finalizing procurement.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when higher propagation speeds than LS series are required without the excessive power draw of older Schottky types. The AS family offers a balanced trade-off between speed and power. Verify that the 3-input configuration matches the logical design needs, as alternatives exist for different input counts or logic functions within the same package footprint.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This device belongs to the DM74ASxx series, representing Fairchild's Advanced Schottky logic line. These components were engineered to bridge the performance gap between Low-power Schottky (LS) and standard Schottky (S) logic. The series is characterized by its use of ion-implanted resistors and Schottky diodes to minimize delay times while controlling power dissipation, making it suitable for dense digital systems.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Direct functional replacements include the DM74S10 and DM74LS10, though electrical characteristics such as propagation delay and current drive will differ. Cross-family substitutes like the 74HC10 or 74AC10 may fit physically but require verification of voltage level compatibility and switching speed requirements.
