SN74LVC00ABQAR

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74LVC00ABQAR is a quadruple 2-input positive-NAND gate from the SNx4LVC00A family, manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.65V to 3.6V and supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. The device features inputs tolerant to 5.5V, enabling mixed-voltage translation in 3.3V/5V systems. It provides balanced high-drive CMOS push-pull outputs with a maximum sink/source current of 24mA at 3V. Propagation delay is specified as a maximum of 4.3ns at 3.3V. The component utilizes a WQFN-14 package (BQA) measuring 3mm x 2.5mm.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Balanced high-drive CMOS push-pull outputs capable of sinking and sourcing similar currents for fast signal edges.
• Over-voltage tolerant inputs that accept voltages up to 5.5V, facilitating operation in mixed-voltage environments.
• ESD protection performance exceeding JESD 22 standards, including 2000V Human-Body Model and 1000V Charged-Device Model ratings.

Inverter Gates Applications

• AV Receivers
• Portable Audio Docks
• Blu-Ray Players and Home Theater Systems
• Solid State Drives (SSDs)
• Wireless Headsets, Keyboards, and Mice

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific BQA (WQFN) package configuration and lead finish details against the latest TI Package Option Addendum. Confirm that the operating temperature range aligns with system requirements, as this variant supports -40°C to +125°C. Ensure input signals do not exceed the absolute maximum ratings to prevent damage. Cross-reference the orderable part number with official distributor catalogs to confirm availability and manufacturing status.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad NAND gate is required for low-voltage digital logic applications between 1.65V and 3.6V. It is suitable for designs needing 5.5V-tolerant inputs to interface with higher voltage sources without level shifters. Consider the WQFN-14 package for space-constrained PCB layouts requiring surface-mount assembly. Evaluate thermal dissipation needs based on the junction-to-ambient resistance provided in the datasheet.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This device belongs to the SNx4LVC00A series, which includes variants like SN74LVC00AQDREP and SN74LVC00APWT. These parts share identical logical functionality but differ in packaging, such as SOIC or TSSOP, and potentially qualification levels. The SN74LVC00ABQAR specifically denotes the commercial grade version in the WQFN package format.
