Nexperia USA Inc. 74AHC00PW,112

Overview

74AHC00PW,112 from Nexperia is a quad 2-input NAND gate IC in TSSOP14 package, operating from 2.0 V to 5.5 V supply, featuring overvoltage-tolerant inputs (up to 5.5 V), CMOS-level input thresholds, and propagation delays as low as 3.2 ns at 5 V with 15 pF load. It serves as a level-translating logic gate in mixed-voltage digital systems such as industrial control I/O interfaces and FPGA peripheral buffering.

For engineers reviewing the 74AHC00PW,112 datasheet, 74AHC00PW,112 pinout, 74AHC00PW,112 application, or 74AHC00PW,112 equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage tolerance, propagation delay vs. supply voltage, output drive strength at 3.3 V/5 V, and thermal performance in TSSOP14 packaging for high-density PCB layouts.

Technical Context

The 74AHC00PW,112 implements four independent 2-input NAND gates with Schmitt-trigger action on all inputs, enabling noise-immune signal conditioning. Its overvoltage-tolerant inputs allow direct interfacing between 3.3 V logic domains and 5 V buses without external level shifters.

It operates across -40 °C to +125 °C and supports both static and dynamic logic functions with guaranteed VOH ≥ 3.70 V and VOL ≤ 0.55 V under 8 mA load at 5 V, while maintaining ICC < 40 μA at VCC = 5.5 V and VI = VCC/GND.

FAQ

Is the 74AHC00PW,112 pin-compatible with the 74AHCT00PW,112?

Yes - both share identical TSSOP14 pinout (SOT402-1), including identical pin numbering and terminal functions. The only functional difference lies in input threshold levels: 74AHC00PW uses CMOS-compatible VIH/VIL, while 74AHCT00PW uses TTL-compatible thresholds. No PCB redesign is needed for substitution.

Can the 74AHC00PW,112 safely interface a 5 V microcontroller GPIO to a 3.3 V FPGA input?

Yes - its overvoltage-tolerant inputs accept up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC. When powered from 3.3 V, it translates 5 V logic highs to 3.3 V-compatible outputs while maintaining full noise margin and timing spec compliance, eliminating external resistive dividers or translators.

What is the maximum recommended capacitive load for stable 10 MHz switching?

At 10 MHz, with CL = 50 pF and VCC = 5.0 V, propagation delay remains within 9.5 ns (max) and output rise/fall times stay under 6 ns. For reliable operation, keep total load capacitance ≤50 pF - including PCB trace capacitance (typically 1–2 pF/cm) and destination input capacitance (e.g., 3–5 pF per CMOS input).

Does the TSSOP14 package require thermal pad soldering for thermal performance?

No - the SOT402-1 package has no exposed thermal pad. Thermal dissipation relies on copper pour under the leads and standard PCB layout practices. Total power dissipation is limited to 500 mW at ≤81 °C ambient, derating linearly by 7.3 mW/K above that temperature.
