SN74AC00NE4

Overview

The SN74AC00NE4 is a quad 2-input positive-NAND gate from the Texas Instruments AC logic family. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2V to 6V and supports inputs up to 6V. The device features a maximum propagation delay of 7ns at 5V, with low-level output current of 24mA and high-level output current of -24mA. It functions in an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and utilizes a 14-pin PDIP package.

Feature Summary

• Contains four independent 2-input NAND gates performing Boolean logic functions
• Operates across a wide supply voltage range from 2V to 6V
• Inputs accept voltages up to 6V for flexible interfacing

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 NRND status of this component before finalizing designs, as it may be subject to discontinuation. Confirm that the PDIP-14 package aligns with your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure all unused inputs are tied to VCC or GND to prevent undefined operational states and excessive power consumption during implementation.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a wide 2V to 6V operating voltage is required compared to standard 5V-only logic families. The AC series offers faster switching speeds than HC counterparts. Verify that the 24mA drive capability meets load requirements. Consider the NRND status if long-term production availability is critical for the project lifecycle.

Part Context

This component belongs to the SNx4AC00 family of quadruple 2-input positive-NAND gates manufactured by Texas Instruments. The 'AC' designation indicates Advanced CMOS technology, providing higher speed performance than standard HC logic while maintaining low power consumption. The NE4 suffix denotes environmental compliance packaging.

Replacement Considerations

SN74AC00N is the direct non-environmental variant. SN74ACT00NE4 provides similar functionality but requires a strict 4.5V to 5.5V supply range.
