Product details
Overview
74ACTQ10MTCX from Fairchild Semiconductor is a triple 3-input NAND gate in the ACTQ Quiet Series™, designed for noise-sensitive digital logic applications requiring simultaneous switching immunity and TTL-compatible inputs. It operates at 4.5–5.5 V, delivers ±24 mA output drive, guarantees dynamic threshold performance, and features GTO™ output control and undershoot correction. Used in industrial control backplanes and high-density logic interface boards.
For engineers reviewing the 74ACTQ10MTCX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include simultaneous switching noise suppression (VOLP ≤ 1.5 V), propagation delay ≤ 8.5 ns at 5 V/50 pF, input compatibility with TTL logic levels, and TSSOP-14 packaging for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 74ACTQ10MTCX implements three independent 3-input NAND gates using Fairchild's FACT Quiet Series™ architecture, which integrates split ground buses and GTO™ (Guarded Turn-Off) output control to suppress simultaneous switching noise. Its dynamic input thresholds (VIHD ≥ 2.2 V, VILD ≤ 0.8 V at 5 V) and quiet output waveforms (VOLP = 1.1–1.5 V, VOLV = −0.6 to −1.2 V) are measured under controlled 1 MHz toggle conditions with 50 pF load.
It supports guaranteed AC performance across −40°C to +85°C with tPLH/tPHL ≤ 8.5 ns (max) and output skew ≤ 1.0 ns. The device maintains TTL-compatible input voltage thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max) while sourcing/sinking 24 mA per output - enabling direct interfacing with legacy TTL loads without level-shifting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5 V logic rails and tolerance to supply ripple. |
| Propagation Delay | ≤ 8.5 ns at VCC = 5.0 V, CL = 50 pF - enables reliable timing in sub-100 MHz synchronous logic paths. |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA - sufficient to directly drive multiple TTL inputs or small capacitive loads without buffering. |
| Quiet Output VOLP | 1.1–1.5 V (typ/max) - quantifies peak undershoot during simultaneous switching, critical for noise margin preservation. |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-level - VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V - allows seamless integration with 74LS, 74F, and other TTL families. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded systems and control equipment. |
| Power Dissipation Cap. | 85 pF - used to calculate dynamic power (PD = CPD × VCC² × f) for thermal design at target frequencies. |
Pinout & Package
74ACTQ10MTCX is housed in a 14-lead Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP), JEDEC MO-153, 4.4 mm wide, with exposed pad not electrically connected. Pin spacing is 0.65 mm, body height 1.2 mm, and lead count matches standard 14-pin logic IC footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13 | Inputs (A1/B1/C1, A2/B2/C2, A3/B3/C3) | Nine dedicated logic inputs grouped as three sets of three - each set feeds one NAND gate. |
| 4, 11, 14 | Outputs (O1, O2, O3) | Three independent CMOS outputs with GTO™-enhanced edge control and undershoot correction. |
| 7 | GND | Primary ground reference for all logic and noise-suppression circuitry; split-bus layout minimizes ground bounce. |
| 14 | VCC | Single 5 V supply rail; internal decoupling and quiet-series biasing reduce supply-induced crosstalk. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| GTO™ Output Control | Actively limits dI/dt during switching transitions to suppress simultaneous switching noise (SSN) and ground bounce. |
| Split Ground Bus | Dedicated low-noise ground path for logic core and I/O sections - reduces coupling between switching outputs. |
| Undershoot Corrector | Clamps dynamic VOL below ground to ≤ −1.2 V (min), preventing false triggering in cascaded logic stages. |
| ICC Reduction | 50% lower quiescent supply current vs. standard ACT - improves system-level power efficiency in standby states. |
| Latch-Up Immunity | Guaranteed ±300 mA latch-up current rating - meets JEDEC JESD78 Class II requirements for robustness. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74ACT10MTCX | No GTO™ or undershoot corrector; higher simultaneous switching noise (VOLP > 2.0 V); identical pinout and DC specs. | Lacks Quiet Series™ noise suppression - unsuitable for high-density, noise-critical layouts. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs SSN requirements and board layout allows added filtering. |
| SN74ACT10DR | Texas Instruments part in SOIC-14; same AC/DC specs but no documented quiet-series features or VOLP/VOLV characterization. | No guaranteed dynamic threshold or noise waveform specs - requires system-level noise validation. | Choose for TI-design ecosystems or when sourcing flexibility is prioritized over factory-validated noise performance. |
Compared with 74ACTQ10MTCX, 74ACT10MTCX offers identical functionality at lower cost but lacks GTO™ and undershoot correction, increasing risk of false logic transitions in dense layouts; SN74ACT10DR provides second-source availability but omits Quiet Series™-specific noise metrics, shifting noise validation burden to the system designer.

FAQ
What is the maximum propagation delay for 74ACTQ10MTCX under worst-case conditions?
The maximum propagation delay (tPLH and tPHL) for 74ACTQ10MTCX is 8.5 ns when VCC = 5.0 V ± 0.5 V, CL = 50 pF, and operating across the full temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). This value is guaranteed by design and verified per AC Electrical Characteristics in the official Fairchild datasheet DS010892.
Does 74ACTQ10MTCX support true TTL input compatibility?
Yes, 74ACTQ10MTCX has TTL-compatible inputs with guaranteed VIH ≥ 2.0 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, allowing direct interface with 74LS, 74F, and other TTL families without level-shifting circuitry. Input leakage remains ≤ ±1.0 µA, ensuring minimal loading on driving sources.
What does "Quiet Series™" mean for 74ACTQ10MTCX in practical PCB design?
"Quiet Series™" refers to integrated noise-suppression features in 74ACTQ10MTCX - including GTO™ output control, undershoot correction, and a split ground bus - that measurably reduce simultaneous switching noise (SSN). In practice, this eliminates the need for additional series resistors or ferrite beads on outputs in high-density layouts where multiple gates switch synchronously.
Is 74ACTQ10MTCX pin-compatible with standard 74ACT10 packages?
Yes, 74ACTQ10MTCX shares identical pinout and footprint with 74ACT10MTCX in the TSSOP-14 (MTC14) package. All nine inputs, three outputs, VCC, and GND align positionally - enabling drop-in replacement where Quiet Series™ noise performance is required without PCB redesign.
What is the significance of VOLP and VOLV specifications for 74ACTQ10MTCX?
VOLP (Quiet Output Maximum Dynamic VOL) and VOLV (Quiet Output Minimum Dynamic VOL) quantify the peak undershoot and overshoot on quiet outputs during worst-case simultaneous switching events. For 74ACTQ10MTCX, VOLP ≤ 1.5 V and VOLV ≥ −1.2 V at VCC = 5.0 V - critical for maintaining noise margins in mixed-signal systems and preventing false triggering in downstream logic stages.
