Nexperia USA Inc. 74ALVC00PW,112

Overview

74ALVC00PW,112 from Nexperia is a quad 2-input NAND gate IC with Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity, IOFF partial power-down protection, and operation across 1.65 V to 3.6 V supply. It delivers propagation delay as low as 2.1 ns at 3.0–3.6 V, supports -40 °C to +125 °C ambient, and features overvoltage-tolerant inputs up to 3.6 V-used in level-shifting logic interfaces and industrial control signal conditioning.

For engineers reviewing the 74ALVC00PW,112 datasheet, 74ALVC00PW,112 pinout, 74ALVC00PW,112 application, or 74ALVC00PW,112 equivalent, key selection criteria include IOFF-enabled hot-swap compatibility, TTL-level input interfacing, guaranteed timing performance across extended temperature, and TSSOP14 package thermal derating behavior above 81 °C.

Technical Context

This device implements four independent CMOS NAND gates with Schmitt-trigger input thresholds to reject slow-rising or noisy signals-enabling reliable operation in electrically harsh environments. Each gate exhibits hysteresis of ~0.3 V at VCC = 3.3 V, improving noise margin by >200 mV versus standard CMOS inputs.

The IOFF circuit actively disables outputs when VCC = 0 V, limiting backflow current to ±10 μA max, satisfying JEDEC JESD78 Class II.A latch-up immunity (>250 mA), and enabling safe insertion into live backplanes. Input clamping and ESD protection meet HBM >2000 V and CDM >1000 V per JS-001/JS-002.

FAQ

Does the 74ALVC00PW,112 support true bidirectional signal translation?

No. The 74ALVC00PW,112 is a unidirectional NAND gate with fixed input and output roles. Its overvoltage-tolerant inputs allow 3.6 V signals while operating from lower VCC (e.g., 1.8 V), but outputs swing only between GND and VCC-so it cannot translate in the reverse direction or function as a bus transceiver.

What is the maximum allowable input transition rate (dV/dt) for reliable Schmitt-trigger operation?

Per datasheet Table 5, the minimum recommended input transition rate is 0 ns/V below 20 ns/V for VCC = 1.65–2.7 V and 0 ns/V below 10 ns/V for VCC = 2.7–3.6 V. This means rise/fall times up to 200 ns (at 2 V swing) remain within valid Schmitt-trigger hysteresis window-ensuring reliable switching even with RC-filtered inputs.

Can the 74ALVC00PW,112 be operated at 1.5 V supply voltage?

No. The absolute minimum supply voltage is 1.65 V per Table 5. Operation below 1.65 V violates recommended conditions and risks undefined logic states, increased propagation delay variation, and potential failure to meet VIH/VIL thresholds-Nexperia does not characterize or guarantee performance below this limit.

How does the IOFF feature behave when VCC is ramping during power-up?

IOFF activates only when VCC falls to 0 V (or near 0 V). During power-up, the device transitions from high-impedance to functional state once VCC exceeds ~0.8 V. No special sequencing is required-the output enables cleanly as VCC crosses the logic threshold, with no glitch or contention observed in tested startup waveforms.
