SN74AC00N

Overview

The SN74AC00N is a quad 2-input positive-NAND gate manufactured by Texas Instruments in the AC logic family. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2V to 6V and features inputs that accept voltages up to 6V. The device utilizes a 14-pin PDIP package with through-hole mounting. Electrical characteristics include a maximum propagation delay of 8.5ns at 5V, low-level output current of 24mA, and high-level output current of -24mA. Operating temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Contains four independent 2-input NAND gates performing Boolean functions
• Operates across a wide supply voltage range from 2V to 6V
• Inputs tolerate voltages up to 6V regardless of VCC level

Applications

• General-purpose digital logic circuits requiring NAND functionality
• Signal processing applications compatible with 2V to 6V power supplies
• Industrial control systems operating within the specified temperature range

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'N' corresponds to the 14-pin PDIP package before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated in the manufacturer's documentation. Ensure the component meets the required operating temperature specifications for the intended environment. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to ensure access to the latest electrical characteristics and mechanical drawings.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide supply voltage range between 2V and 6V is required. The AC logic family offers faster switching speeds compared to standard HC series devices. Verify that the 14-pin PDIP package aligns with the printed circuit board layout constraints. Ensure input voltage levels do not exceed the absolute maximum ratings during operation.
