TC74LCX02FT(EL)

Inverter Gates Overview

The TC74LCX02FT(EL) is a low-voltage quad 2-input NOR gate manufactured by Toshiba Semiconductor and Storage. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 3.6 V, with inputs tolerant up to 5.5 V. The device features high-speed operation with a maximum propagation delay of 5.2 ns at 3.3 V. It provides a minimum output current of 24 mA and includes power-down protection on all inputs and outputs. The component is housed in a TSSOP-14 package.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Provides four independent 2-input NOR logic functions
• Features 5-V tolerant inputs for interfacing with higher voltage environments
• Includes power-down protection circuits on all inputs and outputs
• Offers latch-up performance rated at ±500 mA

Inverter Gates Applications

• General electronics applications including computer and office equipment
• Industrial robotics control systems
• Domestic appliances requiring low-power logic processing

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the package type, as the FT designation corresponds to the TSSOP-14 form factor. Ensure compatibility with the required operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. Confirm that the design accounts for the 5.5 V input tolerance if interfacing with 5 V logic levels. Check for any RoHS compliance requirements relevant to the manufacturing batch.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-voltage CMOS NOR gate is required for 3.3 V systems. It is suitable for designs needing 5 V input tolerance without level shifting. Consider the TSSOP-14 package constraints for PCB layout. Evaluate the 24 mA drive capability against load requirements. Compare propagation delays if timing-critical paths are involved.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the TC74LCX series of low-voltage CMOS digital integrated circuits from Toshiba. The LCX family is designed for high-speed operation while maintaining low power dissipation. It serves as a functional replacement for older 74 series logic types such as AC, VHC, HC, F, ALS, and LS variants, ensuring pin and function compatibility across generations.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other TC74LCX02 variants with different packages, such as TC74LCX02F or TC74LCX02FN. Cross-manufacturer equivalents like the SN74LVC1G02 may require verification of pinout and electrical characteristics.
