SN74HC10D

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74HC10D is a triple 3-input positive-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 standard high-impedance CMOS input characteristics. It provides significant power reduction compared to LSTTL logic ICs and supports fanout up to 10 LSTTL loads.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Features balanced CMOS push-pull outputs for similar sourcing and sinking current capabilities
• Includes buffered inputs with standard high-impedance CMOS input structure

Inverter Gates Applications

• Alarm or tamper detect circuits
• S-R latch configurations

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead finish specifications against the latest orderable addendum. Ensure handling procedures account for electrostatic discharge sensitivity. Validate package marking codes match the specific revision and manufacturing origin documented in official datasheets.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when requiring multiple independent 3-input NAND functions in a single package. The HC series offers wide voltage flexibility suitable for various digital logic interfaces. Consider thermal resistance values for PCB layout planning. Verify that input signal edge rates meet recommended transition times to prevent excessive current consumption.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the SNx4HC10 family of triple 3-input NAND gates. It shares functional compatibility with other variants like SN74HC10DR and SN74HC10N, differing primarily in packaging format such as SOIC, PDIP, or TSSOP. The D suffix specifically denotes the SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package configuration.

Inverter Gates FAQ

How should unused inputs be handled?

Unused inputs must not be left floating. They should be terminated to either VCC or ground using pull-up or pull-down resistors to prevent undefined operational states.

What is the maximum capacitive load recommended?

To ensure optimal performance, the capacitive load at the output should be less than or equal to 70 pF.
