SN74HC00N-P2

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74HC00N is a commercial-grade quadruple 2-input NAND gate manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. The device features buffered CMOS inputs and balanced push-pull outputs capable of driving up to 10 LSTTL loads. Propagation delay varies with voltage, ranging from 8 ns at 6 V to 90 ns at 2 V. It utilizes a 14-pin PDIP package.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Contains four independent 2-input NAND gates performing positive logic Boolean functions
• Features buffered standard CMOS inputs requiring termination to prevent floating states
• Provides balanced CMOS push-pull outputs for high drive capability
• Significant power reduction compared to legacy LSTTL logic families

Inverter Gates Applications

• Alarm and tamper detection circuits
• S-R latch configurations
• General-purpose digital logic processing

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current Orderable Addendum to confirm package type and material specifications. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for the target region. Confirm that the thermal resistance values align with the intended PCB layout and ambient operating conditions to maintain junction temperatures within absolute maximum ratings.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad NAND configuration is required in a through-hole format. Verify that the system supply voltage falls between 2 V and 6 V. Ensure input transition times meet recommended limits to avoid oscillation. Consider the 50 pF capacitive load limit for signal integrity. Unused inputs must be terminated to VCC or GND to ensure stable operation.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This device belongs to the SNx4HC00 family of quadruple 2-input positive-NAND gates. It is part of the broader HC logic series designed for low power consumption and wide voltage operation. The 'N' suffix specifically denotes the 14-pin Plastic Dual In-Line Package (PDIP). Other variants exist in surface-mount packages such as SOIC, SSOP, and TSSOP.
