SN74S00NS

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74S00NS is a quadruple 2-input positive-NAND gate from the Texas Instruments S series, housed in a 14-pin Small Outline (SO) package. 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 levels. Electrical characteristics include a low-level output current of 20 mA and a high-level output current of -1 mA. Switching performance specifies a typical propagation delay of 4.5 ns at 5 V with 15 pF load capacitance.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Blu-Ray Players
• Home Theater Systems
• MP3 Players or Recorders

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'NS' corresponds to the Small Outline package variant rather than other package types like PDIP or SOIC. Confirm the device status is appropriate for the design lifecycle, as some S-series variants may be marked as not recommended for new designs. Ensure the procurement source provides valid RoHS compliance documentation and matches the manufacturer's official part number specifications.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed NAND logic is required within standard TTL voltage constraints. The S series offers faster propagation delays compared to LS or HC counterparts but consumes higher quiescent current. Verify that the application environment remains within the specified 0°C to 70°C temperature range and that the power supply stability adheres to the 4.75 V to 5.25 V limits for reliable operation.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This device belongs to the SNx4xx00 family of quadruple 2-input positive-NAND gates, which also includes SN7400 and SN74LS00 variants. The SN74S00NS specifically utilizes the S series technology, distinguishing it from the standard TTL and Low-Power Schottky versions by offering improved speed at the cost of increased power consumption. It shares the same logical function and pinout configuration across the family.

Inverter Gates FAQ

Can the SN74S00NS accept 3.3-V logic inputs?

Yes, the datasheet specifies that the inputs can accept 3.3-V or 2.5-V logic inputs while remaining TTL compliant.

What is the maximum voltage allowed on the inputs?

No voltage greater than 5.5 V must be applied to the inputs, as exceeding this limit may cause the base-emitter junction at the inputs to break down.
