SN74S00N

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74S00N is a quad 2-input positive-NAND gate manufactured by Texas Instruments. It belongs to the S (Schottky) logic series, utilizing TTL technology for high-speed switching. The device features a 14-pin PDIP package designed for through-hole mounting. Electrical specifications include a propagation delay of 11 ns, a low-level output current of 20 mA, and a high-level output current of -400 uA. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V and supports an operating temperature range from 0°C to +70°C.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Integrates four independent 2-input NAND gates in a single package
• Utilizes Schottky clamping to prevent saturation and enhance switching speed
• Provides standard TTL input compatibility with defined output drive capabilities

Inverter Gates Applications

• General-purpose digital logic circuits requiring fast switching
• Data acquisition systems using TTL-compatible interfaces
• Pulse generation and timing control applications

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'N' confirms the PDIP-14 through-hole package variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status as detailed in official documentation. Ensure the order quantity aligns with tube packaging standards. Validate that the application environment remains within the specified 0°C to +70°C temperature range. Check for any recent product change notices affecting bond wire materials or pinout configurations.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when Schottky TTL speed is required over standard LS or HC families. The 11 ns propagation delay offers faster performance than LS variants but consumes more power. Ensure the design accommodates the higher quiescent current typical of the S series. Verify that the 20 mA low-level sink capability meets load requirements. Consider thermal management if multiple gates are driven heavily within the commercial temperature range.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part is a member of the Texas Instruments SN74Sxx family, known for improved speed compared to earlier 7400 series logic. The 'N' suffix specifically denotes the plastic dual-in-line package. It serves as a direct functional replacement for other SN74S00 variants with compatible pinouts, though electrical characteristics may vary slightly between manufacturers or sub-series revisions.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

SN74S00NSRG4 is a documented alternative offering the same logical function in an SOIC surface-mount package.
