Nexperia USA Inc. 74HC00PW,112

Overview

74HC00PW,112 from Nexperia is a quad 2-input NAND gate in TSSOP14 package, operating from 2.0 V to 6.0 V supply, delivering CMOS-level input compatibility, propagation delay as low as 7 ns at VCC = 6.0 V, and guaranteed operation from −40 °C to +125 °C - used for digital logic inversion, enable/disable control, and bus arbitration in industrial control panels.

For engineers reviewing the 74HC00PW,112 datasheet, 74HC00PW,112 pinout, 74HC00PW,112 application, or 74HC00PW,112 equivalent, this page provides verified pin functions, real-world timing behavior under 50 pF load, thermal derating curves for TSSOP14, and direct functional alternatives with TTL- vs. CMOS-input compatibility trade-offs.

Technical Context

This device implements four independent NAND gates using silicon-gate CMOS technology, each with input clamp diodes enabling safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when current-limiting resistors are used. The logic function follows standard Boolean NAND truth table (H/H → L, all others → H), with inputs referenced to GND and outputs swing rail-to-rail within specified VOH/VOL limits.

It operates across two logic families: 74HC00PW uses CMOS-compatible input thresholds (VIH ≥ 3.2 V at VCC = 6.0 V), while its 74HCT00PW variant accepts TTL-level inputs (VIH ≥ 2.0 V at VCC = 5.0 V). Both share identical pinout, package, and output drive capability (±4 mA at VCC = 4.5 V).

FAQ

What is the maximum clock frequency supported by 74HC00PW,112?

The 74HC00PW,112 is not a clocked device but a combinational logic gate. Its usable toggle rate depends on propagation delay and load: with 50 pF load and VCC = 6.0 V, tPD = 7 ns (typ), supporting reliable operation up to ~50 MHz in feedback configurations. For synchronous systems, it's typically used in glue logic below 20 MHz to maintain timing margins.

Can 74HC00PW,112 drive LEDs directly?

Yes - each output can sink or source up to 4.0 mA at VCC = 4.5 V. With a 330 Ω series resistor and 5 V supply, it delivers ~12 mA peak current, exceeding the 4 mA rating. To stay within spec, use ≥ 1.2 kΩ for 5 V or ≥ 820 Ω for 3.3 V supplies, ensuring VOL ≤ 0.4 V and thermal limits are observed.

Is the exposed pad on the TSSOP14 package electrically connected?

No - the thermal pad on SOT402-1 (TSSOP14) for 74HC00PW,112 is not electrically connected. Nexperia documentation states it has no electrical or mechanical requirement to be soldered. If soldered, it must remain floating or be tied to GND; no internal connection exists to VCC or any signal.

How does 74HC00PW,112 differ from 74HC00D?

The 74HC00PW,112 uses TSSOP14 (SOT402-1) packaging with 4.4 mm body width and 0.65 mm pitch, while 74HC00D uses SO14 (SOT108-1) with 3.9 mm width and 1.27 mm pitch. Both share identical electrical specs and pinout, but TSSOP offers 40 % smaller footprint and better thermal resistance (7.3 mW/K derating above 81 °C vs. 10.1 mW/K above 100 °C for SO14).
