SN74LVC02DR

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74LVC02DR is a single-function logic gate manufactured by Texas Instruments, belonging to the LVC (Low-Voltage CMOS) series. It implements Quad 2-Input Positive NOR logic functionality within a single integrated circuit package. The device operates with a supply voltage range of 2 V to 3.6 V and features four independent gates, each providing two inputs and one output. Key electrical characteristics include a low-level output current capability of 24 mA and a high-level output current capability of -24 mA. The propagation delay is specified at 5.5 ns. The component is housed in a SOIC-14 surface-mount package and supports an operating temperature range from -40 °C to +125 °C.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Implements quad 2-input positive NOR logic functions for digital signal processing
• Operates within a low-voltage power supply range of 2 V to 3.6 V
• Provides robust drive capability with 24 mA output current sourcing and sinking

Inverter Gates Applications

• Digital logic circuits requiring NOR gate functionality
• Portable and battery-operated electronic devices due to low-voltage operation
• Consumer electronics utilizing CMOS logic families

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'DR' corresponds to the SOIC-14 package variant when sourcing. Confirm that the required voltage range aligns with the 2 V to 3.6 V specification rather than wider rail-to-rail options. Ensure compatibility with standard surface-mount assembly processes for the SOIC-14 footprint. Check for automotive qualification requirements if the application demands AEC-Q100 certification, as this standard commercial part may not hold that rating.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact solution for multiple NOR operations is needed in low-voltage systems. The LVC series offers improved speed compared to older LVT variants while maintaining low power consumption. Consider the SOIC-14 package size relative to available board space. Evaluate the 5.5 ns propagation delay against system timing constraints to ensure adequate performance margins for the intended switching frequencies.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This component belongs to the SN74LVC02 family of quad 2-input NOR gates produced by Texas Instruments. The LVC series is designed for applications requiring operation at lower supply voltages than traditional 5 V CMOS logic. The 'DR' suffix specifically denotes the SOIC-14 plastic small-outline integrated circuit package. This family provides a balance of speed, power efficiency, and drive strength suitable for general-purpose digital logic applications.
