SN74ACT10DR

Overview

The SN74ACT10DR is a single-function logic gate manufactured by Texas Instruments, belonging to the 74ACT series. It contains three independent 3-input NAND gates housed in a 14-pin SOIC narrow package. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports surface mount installation. Key electrical specifications include a low-level output current of 24 mA and a high-level output current of -24 mA. Propagation delay is specified at 9 ns when operating at 5 V with a 50 pF load. The component functions reliably across an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates three independent 3-input NAND logic functions within a single integrated circuit package.
• Provides robust drive capability with symmetrical output currents of 24 mA for both high and low states.
• Ensures fast signal processing with a propagation delay of 9 ns under standard test conditions.

Applications

• Digital logic circuits requiring triple 3-input NAND functionality
• Industrial control systems operating within the -40°C to +85°C temperature range
• General-purpose digital signal processing applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'DR' corresponds to the tape-and-reel packaging format required for automated assembly processes. Confirm that the 14-SOIC footprint matches the target PCB design constraints. Ensure the 74ACT logic family compatibility aligns with existing system voltage levels and input thresholds before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when three separate 3-input NAND operations are needed in a compact surface-mount form factor. The 74ACT series offers speed performance comparable to older TTL technologies while maintaining CMOS power efficiency. Verify that the 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply requirement fits the system power architecture and that the 24 mA output drive is sufficient for the connected loads.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Texas Instruments 74ACT logic family, which bridges the performance gap between standard CMOS and bipolar TTL technologies. The 'SN' prefix indicates commercial grade temperature rating, while 'ACT' denotes advanced CMOS technology. The 'DR' suffix specifically identifies the reel-packaged version of the SOIC-14 variant, distinguishing it from tube-packed or leaded alternatives.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include SN74ACT10DRE4 and SN74ACT10DRG4, which share identical logical and electrical characteristics. Cross-reference pinouts and package dimensions when considering generic 74ACT10 equivalents from other manufacturers to ensure mechanical and functional compatibility.
