SN74HC00NE4

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74HC00NE4 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 inputs, balanced CMOS push-pull outputs, and significant power reduction compared to LSTTL logic ICs. It supports fanout up to 10 LSTTL loads.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Contains four independent 2-input NAND gates performing the Boolean function Y = A · B in positive logic.
• Features balanced CMOS push-pull outputs capable of sinking and sourcing similar currents.
• Includes standard CMOS inputs with high impedance characteristics.

Inverter Gates Applications

• Alarm / tamper detect circuit
• S-R latch

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify that the component matches the specific SN74HC00NE4 designation, as ordering suffixes may indicate variations in packaging or material composition without altering the core electrical function. Confirm compliance with RoHS directives and ensure the package type aligns with the intended PCB footprint requirements before finalizing procurement.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring low-power CMOS logic with wide voltage flexibility. Ensure input signals transition quickly to prevent oscillations and excessive power consumption. Unused inputs must be terminated at VCC or GND to maintain stable operation. Verify that output capacitive loads do not exceed recommended limits to preserve signal integrity.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the SNx4HC00 family of quadruple 2-input NAND gates. It is available in multiple packages including SOIC, SSOP, PDIP, SOP, TSSOP, CDIP, and CFP. The NE4 suffix typically denotes a lead-free variant compliant with environmental standards, while maintaining the same functional specifications as the standard SN74HC00N.
