SN74LVC02APW

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74LVC02APW is a quadruple 2-input positive-NOR gate from the Texas Instruments LVC logic family, housed in a 14-pin TSSOP package. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.65V to 3.6V and supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. The device features inputs compatible with 3.3V or 5V driving signals, enabling use as a translator in mixed-voltage systems. Electrical specifications include a maximum propagation delay of 4.4ns at 3.3V, low-level output current of 24mA, and high-level output current of -24mA at 3V.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Performs Boolean NOR logic function across four independent gates
• Accepts input voltages up to 5.5V for compatibility with 3.3V and 5V devices
• Provides robust latch-up performance exceeding 250mA per JESD 17 standards

Inverter Gates Applications

• Mixed 3.3V/5V system translation
• Digital logic circuit implementation
• Signal processing interfaces

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'PW' corresponds to the TSSOP-14 package configuration required for your design. Confirm that the commercial grade (-40°C to 85°C) meets your environmental requirements rather than the extended military grade options. Ensure ESD precautions are observed during handling as specified in the datasheet.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad 2-input NOR function is required within the LVC voltage domain. The 1.65V to 3.6V supply range suits low-power applications. Verify that the 24mA drive capability meets load requirements. Consider alternative packages if board space constraints differ from the TSSOP footprint.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the SNx4LVC02A series of quadruple 2-input positive-NOR gates manufactured by Texas Instruments. The LVC series is designed for low-voltage CMOS applications. The 'SN74' prefix indicates commercial grade availability, while 'SN54' denotes military grade variants. The 'A' suffix typically signifies an updated version of the original logic family.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other SN74LVC02A variants with different packaging such as SN74LVC02AD (SOIC) or SN74LVC02ARGYR (VQFN). Cross-reference with SN74LVC02APWR for reel-based procurement needs.
