TC74VHC00FT(EL)

Inverter Gates Overview

The TC74VHC00FT(EL) is a Quad 2-Input NAND Gate fabricated with silicon gate C2MOS technology. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.0 to 5.5 V and supports an operating temperature from -40 to 85 °C. The device features a typical propagation delay of 3.7 ns at 5 V and a maximum quiescent current of 2 μA. It includes power-down protection on all inputs, allowing 0 to 5.5 V input regardless of supply voltage. The package is TSSOP14.
