SN74HCT00N

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74HCT00N is a quad 2-input positive-NAND gate manufactured by Texas Instruments. It belongs to the 74HCT logic series, designed for high-speed CMOS operation with TTL-compatible inputs. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports through-hole mounting in a 14-pin PDIP package. Key electrical characteristics include a propagation delay of 22 ns at 5.5 V with 50 pF load, output currents of 4 mA for both high and low states, and a maximum static current of 2 µA. It functions reliably across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Features four independent 2-input NAND gates within a single integrated circuit.
• Provides TTL-compatible input thresholds while utilizing high-speed CMOS technology.
• Supports standard through-hole installation via a 14-pin dual in-line package.

Inverter Gates Applications

• Digital logic signal processing circuits
• General-purpose computing systems requiring NAND functionality
• Industrial control logic interfaces

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the SN74HCT00N designation to ensure HCT logic compatibility rather than HC or other variants. Confirm the package type is PDIP-14 for through-hole assembly requirements. Check datasheets for updated RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity levels prior to procurement to ensure alignment with manufacturing standards.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when TTL-level input compatibility is required alongside CMOS performance benefits. The SN74HCT00N is suitable for designs needing moderate switching speeds with low static power consumption. Ensure the application voltage remains strictly within the 4.5 V to 5.5 V range to maintain specified timing parameters and avoid exceeding absolute maximum ratings.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part is a member of the Texas Instruments 74HCT family, which bridges the gap between legacy TTL logic and modern CMOS technologies. The SN74HC00N represents the high-speed CMOS variant with different input thresholds, while the SN74LS00N offers lower speed but similar TTL compatibility. The SN74HCT00N specifically targets applications requiring direct interfacing with TTL outputs without level shifting.
