The MC74HCT00N is a quad 2-input NAND gate manufactured by National Semiconductor (now Texas Instruments). This device belongs to the HCT family of high-speed CMOS logic, designed to be TTL-compatible while offering the advantages of CMOS technology such as low power consumption.

Applications

• General digital logic circuits
• Signal inversion
• Boolean algebra implementations
• Simple control logic
• Oscillator circuits

Features

• TTL Compatible Input Thresholds
• Low Power Dissipation: ICC = 1 μA (max) at TA = 25°C
• High Speed: tpd = 11 ns (typ)
• Output Drive Capability: 10 LSTTL Loads
• Symmetrical Output Impedance: |IOH| = IOL = 4 mA
• Operating Voltage Range: 4.5V to 5.5V

Benefits

• Easy Interface: Directly interfaces with TTL logic.
• Low Power: Minimizes power consumption, suitable for battery-operated devices.
• Fast Switching Speed: Allows for use in high-speed digital systems.
• High Fanout: Can drive a large number of other logic gates.

Additional Details

The MC74HCT00N contains four independent 2-input NAND gates. Each gate performs the logical NAND operation on its two inputs. The output of each gate is low only when both inputs are high; otherwise, the output is high. This device is commonly available in a 14-pin DIP package. Storage Temperature Range is -65°C to +150°C.
