SN74LS00NE4

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74LS00NE4 is a quadruple 2-input positive-NAND gate from the Texas Instruments 74LS series. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V and supports an operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. The device features TTL-compliant inputs with VIH = 2 V and VIL = 0.8 V, allowing compatibility with 3.3-V or 2.5-V logic inputs. Electrical characteristics include a low-level output current (IOL) of 8 mA and a high-level output current (IOH) of -0.4 mA. Switching performance specifies a propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) of 15 ns maximum at VCC = 5 V.

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package configuration matches the 'N' designation in the part number, which corresponds to the Standard Plastic (PDIP) housing. Confirm that the 'E4' suffix indicates lead-free composition and RoHS compliance as per Texas Instruments manufacturing standards. Ensure the procurement source provides valid traceability documentation for this specific ordering suffix variant.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard quad NAND gate is required for general-purpose digital logic interfacing. The LS series offers a balance of speed and power consumption compared to standard 7400 or faster 74S variants. Verify that the application environment remains within the specified 0°C to 70°C temperature range and that the 5-V supply tolerance aligns with system power rails.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This device belongs to the SNx4xx00 family of quadruple 2-input positive-NAND gates manufactured by Texas Instruments.
