SN74ACT00NG4

Overview

The SN74ACT00NG4 is a quad 2-input positive-NAND gate from the Texas Instruments SN74ACT00 series. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and features low output currents of 24 mA for both high and low states. The device exhibits a propagation delay of 9.5 ns and functions reliably across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Packaged in a standard 14-pin PDIP format, it serves as a robust logic solution for digital circuit applications requiring TTL-compatible inputs.

Feature Summary

• Contains four independent 2-input NAND gates within a single integrated circuit package
• Features CMOS construction with TTL-compatible input levels for broad interface compatibility
• Provides symmetrical drive capability with 24 mA output current sourcing and sinking

Applications

• General-purpose digital logic processing
• Signal gating and switching circuits
• Data path control logic

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against manufacturer documentation to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics match project requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official datasheets prior to integration. Ensure thermal management aligns with the specified operating temperature range during system design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring 5 V operation with fast switching speeds. The ACT series offers superior performance over legacy LS counterparts while maintaining pin compatibility. Consider the PDIP package constraints if surface-mount space is limited or through-hole assembly is mandated.

Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74ACT family, representing advanced CMOS technology designed to replace older bipolar logic families. It provides higher speed and lower power consumption compared to standard TTL devices. The SN74ACT00 variant specifically implements the fundamental NAND function, serving as a building block for complex combinational logic designs.

Replacement Considerations

The SN74ACT00N is a direct functional equivalent within the same product line. Verify that alternative packages such as SOIC or TSSOP variants meet physical footprint requirements.
