SN74ACT00NE4

Overview

The SN74ACT00NE4 is a quad 2-input positive-NAND gate from the Texas Instruments ACT logic family, housed in a 14-pin PDIP package. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The device features TTL-voltage compatible inputs and provides high drive capability with low-level output currents up to 24 mA and high-level output currents up to -24 mA. Propagation delays are specified at a maximum of 9.5 ns.

Feature Summary

• Contains four independent 2-input NAND gates performing Boolean logic functions
• Inputs accept voltages up to 5.5V while maintaining TTL compatibility
• Provides robust output drive capabilities for standard digital loads

Applications

• General-purpose digital logic signal processing
• Boolean logic implementation in control circuits
• Interface between TTL and CMOS logic levels

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'E4' corresponds to lead-free (RoHS compliant) manufacturing standards as defined by Texas Instruments. Confirm that the PDIP-14 through-hole package matches the target PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the active production status aligns with long-term availability needs for the design lifecycle.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad NAND configuration is required within a strict 5V logic environment. The ACT series offers faster switching speeds compared to legacy HC families while maintaining similar pinouts. Verify that the 24 mA output current rating satisfies the fan-out requirements of the connected load devices.

Part Context

This part belongs to the SNx4ACT00 family of quadruple 2-input positive-NAND gates. The 'SN74' designation indicates commercial grade temperature ratings, distinguishing it from the military-grade SN54 variant. The NE4 suffix specifically denotes the PDIP-14 package type combined with environmental compliance attributes.
