Product details
Overview
74AHCT02BQ,115 from Nexperia is a quad 2-input NOR gate in DHVQFN14 package, designed for TTL-level logic interfacing in industrial control and digital signal routing. It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, delivers propagation delay as low as 3.8 ns (CL = 15 pF), supports -40 °C to +125 °C ambient range, and features Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity in noisy environments.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHCT02BQ,115 datasheet, 74AHCT02BQ,115 pinout, 74AHCT02BQ,115 application, or 74AHCT02BQ,115 equivalent, this page provides verified pin mapping, real-world timing behavior under load, thermal-enhanced QFN packaging details, and validated alternatives for logic-level translation and gate-level combinational design.
Technical Context
The 74AHCT02BQ,115 implements four independent 2-input NOR gates using Si-gate CMOS technology with TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V). Its output stage drives ±8 mA loads while maintaining VOH ≥ 3.94 V and VOL ≤ 0.36 V under specified conditions.
It integrates ESD protection per JS-001 (HBM > 2000 V) and JS-002 (CDM > 1000 V), and uses a thermal-enhanced DHVQFN14 package (SOT762-1) with exposed die pad for improved power dissipation up to 500 mW at Tamb ≤ 98 °C before derating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Quad 2-input NOR gate - enables compact implementation of OR-invert logic in bus arbitration or enable/disable control paths. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5 V TTL systems without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 3.8 ns typical (CL = 15 pF, VCC = 5 V) - supports reliable operation in high-speed digital control loops up to ~100 MHz toggle rate. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - guarantees robust recognition of legacy TTL outputs and noise margin against ground bounce. |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA - sufficient to drive multiple LSTTL inputs (fan-out ≥ 10) or small capacitive loads (< 50 pF) without buffering. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood industrial automation, motor control, and power supply monitoring applications. |
| ESD Rating | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 requirements for board-level handling and system integration. |
Pinout & Package
DHVQFN14 package (SOT762-1): 2.5 mm × 3.0 mm × 0.85 mm body, no leads, thermally enhanced with exposed die pad (non-soldered or floating/grounded per layout).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 10, 13 | 1Y, 2Y, 3Y, 4Y | Active-low NOR outputs - each sinks or sources up to 8 mA; compatible with LSTTL fan-out and CMOS inputs. |
| 2, 5, 8, 11 | 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A | First input per gate - accepts TTL-level signals; Schmitt-trigger action rejects sub-10 ns noise spikes. |
| 3, 6, 9, 12 | 1B, 2B, 3B, 4B | Second input per gate - identical electrical characteristics to A inputs; enables dual-input logic combination. |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference (0 V) - must be low-inductance connection; shared return for all four gates' current paths. |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply - decoupling capacitor (100 nF ceramic) required within 3 mm for stable high-speed switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible inputs | VIH ≥ 2.0 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V at 5 V supply - eliminates need for external level shifters when interfacing with legacy microcontrollers or FPGAs. |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Hysteresis ≥ 0.3 V - suppresses chatter on slow-rising or noisy control lines such as reset, enable, or fault signals. |
| Balanced propagation delays | tpLH and tpHL match within 0.3 ns (typ.) - prevents duty-cycle distortion in clocked logic or feedback paths. |
| Thermal-enhanced QFN | RθJA = 104 K/W (SOT762-1) - enables sustained 500 mW dissipation at 98 °C ambient before derating begins. |
| Wide temperature range | Specified from -40 °C to +125 °C - supports deployment in unregulated enclosures, motor drives, and industrial PLC I/O modules. |
Applications
| Industrial Bus Arbitration | Microcontroller Reset Logic |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Managing shared access to RS-485 or CAN transceivers among multiple controllers in a distributed I/O rack. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: NOR gate combines BUSY signals from three masters; output asserts low when any is active, blocking other requests. Use Value: Eliminates need for dedicated arbiter IC; propagation delay < 7 ns ensures deterministic response under 1 Mbps bus rates. |
Use Scenario: Generating synchronized reset pulses for MCU, FPGA, and peripheral ICs during power-up or brownout recovery. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: NOR gate combines POR, watchdog timeout, and manual reset - output goes high only when all are inactive. Use Value: Schmitt-trigger inputs reject noise on long reset traces; TTL thresholds ensure compatibility with discrete reset ICs like MAX809. |
| Motor Driver Enable Control | Power Sequencing Logic |
Use Scenario: Enabling H-bridge drivers only when both direction and enable signals are valid, preventing shoot-through faults. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Each NOR gate monitors one half-bridge pair; output disables gate driver if either input is asserted. Use Value: Sub-10 ns delay ensures fast disable response (< 100 ns) critical for MOSFET safety margins in 20 kHz PWM inverters. |
Use Scenario: Controlling startup order of 3.3 V, 5 V, and 12 V rails in embedded power supplies using discrete supervisor ICs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: NOR gates implement AND-NOT logic between rail-good signals to generate sequenced enable strobes. Use Value: Guaranteed VIH/VIL margins prevent false triggering during rail ramp-up; 125 °C rating supports placement near hot regulators. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad NOR gate applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74AHCT02PW,118 | TSSOP14 package (SOT402-1); 4.4 mm body width; RθJA = 137 K/W; same electrical specs. | Lower thermal performance; suitable for space-constrained PCBs where QFN rework is impractical. | Select when hand-soldering or optical inspection of solder joints is required; avoid in >85 °C ambient continuous operation. |
| SN74AHCT02DR | SOIC-14 package (TI); JEDEC MS-012 compliant; RθJA = 120 K/W; identical logic and voltage specs. | Higher profile (1.75 mm height); easier wave-soldering but larger footprint than DHVQFN. | Choose for legacy assembly lines or mixed-technology boards where QFN requires separate reflow profiling. |
Compared with 74AHCT02BQ,115, the TSSOP variant trades thermal efficiency for solderability, while the SOIC version offers mechanical robustness at the cost of board area and thermal resistance - all maintain identical logic behavior and TTL interface compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended operating frequency for 74AHCT02BQ,115?
The device does not specify a maximum clock frequency, but its typical propagation delay of 3.8 ns (CL = 15 pF) supports reliable toggling up to approximately 100 MHz in non-critical timing paths. For synchronous systems, ensure setup/hold margins exceed 2× tpd under worst-case voltage and temperature conditions.
Can 74AHCT02BQ,115 be used with 3.3 V logic systems?
No - the 74AHCT02BQ,115 is strictly a 5 V TTL-compatible device with minimum VCC = 4.5 V and VIH threshold fixed at 2.0 V. Using it with 3.3 V inputs risks unreliable HIGH detection; for 3.3 V systems, select the 74AHC02BQ variant instead.
Is the exposed pad on the DHVQFN package electrically connected?
No - the exposed die pad (terminal 1 index area) has no internal electrical connection. Per Nexperia's datasheet, it may remain floating or be connected to GND for thermal improvement, but must not be tied to VCC or left unconnected in high-vibration environments without mechanical anchoring.
Does 74AHCT02BQ,115 support mixed-voltage interfacing between 5 V and 3.3 V domains?
It accepts 3.3 V as a valid HIGH input (since VIH = 2.0 V min), but its outputs swing to ~4.5 V (VOH) at 5 V VCC - directly driving 3.3 V CMOS inputs risks overvoltage damage. Use series resistors or level translators for safe bidirectional interfacing.
