Product details
Overview
74ACT10PC from Fairchild Semiconductor is a triple 3-input NAND gate in a 14-lead PDIP package, operating at 4.5V–5.5V supply, delivering ±24 mA output drive, 6.5 ns typical propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL), and TTL-compatible input thresholds. It serves as a logic-level combinatorial gate in digital control subsystems of industrial PLCs, legacy instrumentation, and board-level signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the 74ACT10PC datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include guaranteed 5V operation, 24 mA sink/source capability, JEDEC MS-001 PDIP mechanical compatibility, and AC/ACT family timing consistency across temperature (−40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The 74ACT10PC implements three independent 3-input NAND gates with CMOS inputs and buffered TTL-compatible outputs. Its ACT-series design ensures strict 5V-only operation (4.5V–5.5V), fixed VIH = 2.0V min and VIL = 0.8V max at VCC = 5.5V, and rail-to-rail VOH/VOL performance under 24 mA load.
Propagation delays are characterized at CL = 50 pF and VCC = 5.0V, with tPLH/tPHL guaranteed ≤9.0 ns (max) over full temperature range. Input leakage remains ≤±1.0 µA, and quiescent ICC is ≤40 µA - enabling low-static-power logic interfacing without compromising speed.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5V to 5.5V - requires regulated 5V rail; not 3.3V compatible |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA - supports direct interface to TTL loads and LED indicators without external buffers |
| Propagation Delay | ≤9.0 ns max (CL = 50 pF, VCC = 5.0V) - enables sub-100 MHz combinational logic timing budgets |
| Input Thresholds | VIH ≥ 2.0V, VIL ≤ 0.8V - ensures robust noise margin vs. standard TTL outputs |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial ambient environments |
| Quiescent ICC | ≤40 µA - negligible static power draw in idle states |
| Input Capacitance | 4.5 pF - limits capacitive loading on driving stages |
Pinout & Package
74ACT10PC uses a 14-lead Plastic Dual-In-Line Package (PDIP), JEDEC MS-001, 0.300" wide body, with 0.100" lead pitch and through-hole mounting.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | Gate 1 Inputs (A1, B1, C1) | Three logic inputs for first NAND gate; all must be HIGH for LOW output |
| 4 | Gate 1 Output (Y1) | Active-LOW open-drain–compatible output; sinks or sources up to 24 mA |
| 5, 6, 13 | Gate 2 Inputs (A2, B2, C2) | Three logic inputs for second NAND gate; independent of other gates |
| 12 | Gate 2 Output (Y2) | Output for second gate; electrically isolated, same drive specs as Y1 |
| 8, 9, 10 | Gate 3 Inputs (A3, B3, C3) | Three logic inputs for third NAND gate; fully decoupled functionally |
| 11 | Gate 3 Output (Y3) | Third independent output; identical timing and drive to Y1/Y2 |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference for all logic and power terminals |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply terminal; must be 4.5–5.5V; bypassing recommended |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible outputs | VOH ≥ 4.4V / VOL ≤ 0.44V at 24 mA load - directly drives legacy 5V TTL inputs |
| Low input leakage | IIN ≤ ±1.0 µA - minimizes bus loading and preserves signal integrity on shared lines |
| High noise immunity | VIH − VIL = 1.2V at VCC = 5.5V - provides >600 mV noise margin against EMI |
| Stable AC timing | tPLH/tPHL variation < 0.5 ns over −40°C to +85°C - enables deterministic timing closure |
| PDIP thermal profile | JEDEC MS-001 compliant - supports wave soldering and manual rework with standard profiles |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple 3-input NAND gate applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ACT10N | Same logic function, identical AC/ACT electrical specs, TI-manufactured PDIP variant | Identical pinout and thermal profile; RoHS-compliant version available | Select when sourcing from TI distribution channels or requiring TI-specific qualification documentation |
| MC74ACT10PG | Onsemi (formerly ON Semi) PDIP version; matches VIH/VIL, VOH/VOL, and tPLH/tPHL within 0.2 ns | Same JEDEC MS-001 footprint; slightly higher max ICC (50 µA) but otherwise drop-in functional match | Choose for long-term supply continuity where Fairchild legacy stock is constrained |
Compared with SN74ACT10N and MC74ACT10PG, the 74ACT10PC offers identical timing, drive strength, and pinout - differing only in manufacturer marking and traceability chain; all three support the same 5V industrial control designs without layout or firmware changes.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the 74ACT10PC?
The 74ACT10PC has an absolute maximum supply voltage (VCC) of +7.0V, but its recommended operating range is strictly 4.5V to 5.5V per datasheet specifications. Operation outside this range may cause timing violations or increased ICC. The 74ACT10PC must not be used with 3.3V or unregulated 5V supplies exceeding 5.5V - doing so risks parametric failure or reduced reliability. Always verify VCC stability before deploying the 74ACT10PC in production systems.
Does the 74ACT10PC support 3.3V logic inputs?
No, the 74ACT10PC does not reliably accept 3.3V logic inputs. Its input thresholds are defined for 5V operation: VIH ≥ 2.0V and VIL ≤ 0.8V at VCC = 5.5V. A 3.3V HIGH signal falls below the guaranteed VIH margin and may result in indeterminate output states. The 74ACT10PC requires TTL- or 5V-CMOS-compatible input sources. For mixed-voltage systems, level translation is required before connecting to the 74ACT10PC.
What is the pinout configuration of the 74ACT10PC?
74ACT10PC uses a standard 14-pin PDIP layout: Pins 1–3 and 5–6 and 8–10 are inputs (three groups of three); pins 4, 12, and 11 are outputs (Y1, Y2, Y3); pin 7 is GND; pin 14 is VCC. This matches JEDEC MS-001 and is identical to SN74ACT10N and MC74ACT10PG. No special orientation or rotation is needed - the notch aligns with pin 1. The 74ACT10PC pinout is fully documented in the Fairchild DS009915 datasheet Figure 2.
Can the 74ACT10PC drive LEDs directly?
Yes, the 74ACT10PC can drive standard 5V LEDs directly: each output sinks up to 24 mA at VOL ≤ 0.44V, sufficient for common indicator LEDs with series resistors ≥200 Ω. Ensure current-limiting resistors are sized for forward voltage (e.g., 1.8V red LED → R = (5V − 1.8V − 0.44V)/0.024A ≈ 115 Ω). Avoid sustained 24 mA per output across all three gates simultaneously without verifying board-level thermal dissipation. The 74ACT10PC's PDIP package supports moderate continuous LED drive in non-ventilated enclosures.
Is the 74ACT10PC RoHS compliant?
The original 74ACT10PC (Fairchild, pre-2016) was manufactured as a leaded PDIP device and is not RoHS compliant due to Pb content in leads and die attach. RoHS-compliant alternatives include SN74ACT10N (TI) and MC74ACT10PG (ON Semiconductor), both offered in Pb-free PDIP variants. If RoHS compliance is mandatory, the 74ACT10PC should not be selected - instead, specify the RoHS-marked equivalent part number and verify packaging code (e.g., "N" or "PG") with your distributor. Aetrix Electronics stocks RoHS-compliant versions upon request.
