Product details
Overview
74AC02MTR from STMicroelectronics is a quad 2-input NOR gate IC in TSSOP-14 package, operating from 2V to 6V supply, delivering 4.2ns typical propagation delay at 5V, ±24mA symmetrical output drive, and 2µA max quiescent current at 25°C - used in high-speed digital logic interfacing, address decoding, and control signal arbitration in industrial PLC I/O modules.
For engineers reviewing the 74AC02MTR datasheet, 74AC02MTR pinout, 74AC02MTR application, or 74AC02MTR equivalent, key selection criteria include transmission-line driving capability (50Ω), latch-up immunity, ESD tolerance (2kV), and compatibility with legacy 74-series logic families under wide VCC and temperature ranges (-55°C to +125°C).
Technical Context
The 74AC02MTR implements four independent NOR gates using sub-micron C2MOS technology with three-stage buffered outputs, enabling high noise immunity (VNIH/VNIL ≥ 28% VCC) and balanced tPLH/tPHL delays. Its input structure includes protection diodes for ±20mA DC clamp current and 2kV HBM ESD rating.
It drives 50Ω transmission lines directly without external termination, supports incident-wave switching, and maintains stable logic thresholds across VCC = 2–6V with VIH/VIL specified at 3.0V/4.5V/5.5V operating points and full industrial temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Operating Range | 2V to 6V - enables interoperability with 3.3V and 5V systems without level shifters |
| tPD (Typ.) | 4.2ns at VCC = 5V - supports >100MHz toggle rates in combinatorial logic paths |
| IOL / IOH (Min.) | 24mA - drives standard 50Ω PCB traces or multiple 74AC inputs without fanout limitation |
| ICC (Max.) | 2µA at TA = 25°C - enables ultra-low static power in battery-backed or standby-critical control logic |
| VIH / VIL (Min./Max.) | 2.1V / 0.9V at VCC = 3.0V - ensures robust TTL- and CMOS-compatible input thresholds |
| ESD Rating | 2kV HBM - protects against handling-induced discharge in automated assembly and field service |
| Operating Temp | -55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended-temperature industrial and transportation control environments |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-14 package: 4.9mm × 6.4mm body, 0.65mm pitch, 14-pin surface-mount with exposed pad not present; JEDEC MO-153 compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 10, 13 | 1Y, 2Y, 3Y, 4Y | Active-low NOR outputs - each capable of sourcing/sinking 24mA with matched rise/fall impedance |
| 2, 5, 8, 11 | 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A | First input per gate - accepts 0–VCC logic levels with 4pF input capacitance and ±0.1µA leakage |
| 3, 6, 9, 12 | 1B, 2B, 3B, 4B | Second input per gate - identical electrical characteristics to A inputs; no internal pull-ups/downs |
| 7 | GND | Logic ground reference - shared return path for all four gates; decoupling required within 5mm |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply - must be bypassed with 100nF ceramic capacitor near pin; supports 2–6V operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Symmetrical output drive | |IOH| = IOL = 24mA min - eliminates skew in bidirectional bus control and enables clean 50Ω line termination |
| Transmission-line driving | Guaranteed incident-wave switching on 50Ω lines - eliminates need for external series resistors in high-speed routing |
| Wide VCC range | 2V to 6V operation - allows direct interface between 3.3V microcontrollers and 5V peripheral logic without translators |
| Latch-up immunity | Improved process-level resistance - prevents destructive SCR triggering during transient overvoltage events |
| Input noise margin | VNIH = VNIL = 28% VCC min - provides ≥1.4V noise margin at 5V, ensuring reliable operation in electrically noisy factory floors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad 2-input NOR gate applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AC02DR | TI SOIC-14; tPD = 4.5ns (typ.), ICC = 2µA (max), same VCC range and drive strength | No TSSOP footprint; larger thermal resistance (θJA = 120°C/W vs. 160°C/W) | Preferred where board space permits and hand-soldering or legacy reflow profiles are used |
| 74VHC02FT | Fujitsu TSSOP-14; tPD = 7.5ns (typ.), lower drive (±8mA), higher noise immunity (40% VCC) | Lower speed and drive limit use in high-current or >50MHz edge-sensitive paths | Selected when ultra-low ICC (0.1µA) and enhanced noise rejection outweigh speed requirements |
Compared with SN74AC02DR and 74VHC02FT, the 74AC02MTR delivers optimal balance of speed, drive strength, and compact TSSOP packaging - making it preferred for space-constrained, high-reliability industrial control logic where 4.2ns timing and 24mA sourcing are design-critical.

FAQ
Is 74AC02MTR pin-compatible with standard 7402 devices?
Yes - it is functionally and pinout-compatible with industry-standard 7402 quad NOR gates, including 74LS02 and 74HC02. All 14 pins map identically: inputs (A/B), outputs (Y), VCC (pin 14), and GND (pin 7). No redesign is needed when upgrading from bipolar or older CMOS variants.
Can 74AC02MTR operate reliably at 3.3V with 50Ω transmission-line loads?
Yes - AC specifications confirm tPLH/tPHL ≤ 5.5ns and VOH ≥ 2.9V (IOH = –12mA) at VCC = 3.3V. Its 50Ω line-driving capability is validated down to 3.0V, supporting direct connection to controlled-impedance PCB traces without series termination resistors.
What is the maximum continuous output current per pin?
The absolute maximum DC output current is ±50mA per pin, but the guaranteed minimum drive is ±24mA under worst-case conditions (–55°C to +125°C, VCC = 2V–6V). Sustained operation above ±24mA requires thermal derating and verification of junction temperature limits.
Does 74AC02MTR require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?
No - unused inputs may be tied directly to VCC or GND. The device has no internal pull resistors, but its high input impedance (<0.1µA leakage) and defined VIH/VIL thresholds ensure stable logic states without external biasing, simplifying layout in sparse-gate designs.
