SN74AS10N

Overview

The SN74AS10N is a Texas Instruments logic gate featuring three independent 3-input NAND circuits housed in a 14-pin PDIP package. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and supports a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. Key electrical parameters include a maximum propagation delay of 4.5ns at 5V with 50pF load, low-level output current of 20mA, high-level output current of 2mA, and logic levels of 0.8V (low) and 2V (high).

Feature Summary

• Contains three independent 3-input NAND gates for complex logic implementation.
• Provides high-speed switching capabilities with a 4.5ns propagation delay.
• Features robust low-level output drive capability of 20mA.

Applications

• High-speed digital logic circuit design
• Microprocessor system interfacing
• General-purpose logic applications requiring fast response times

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer datasheet for the SN74AS10N to confirm all electrical characteristics and mechanical dimensions before integration. Ensure that the operating conditions, including supply voltage stability and thermal management, align with the component's specified limits of 4.5V to 5.5V and 0°C to 70°C. Cross-reference pinout configurations to prevent installation errors in through-hole PCB layouts.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems that require faster switching speeds than standard LS or ALS series devices offer. The 20mA low-level output current makes it suitable for driving moderate loads directly. Consider the 14-pin DIP package constraints if space is limited, as surface mount alternatives like the SN74AS10AN may be necessary for compact designs.

Part Context

This device belongs to the Texas Instruments 74AS (Advanced Schottky) logic family, known for superior speed-performance power product compared to earlier generations. It serves as a high-speed alternative to standard TTL logic, providing enhanced performance for demanding digital applications while maintaining compatibility with existing 5V logic interfaces.

Replacement Considerations

SN74AS10AN is a verified equivalent offering identical logical functionality in a surface-mount SOIC-14 package.
