Nexperia USA Inc. 74HC00PW,118

Overview

74HC00PW,118 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 of 7 ns (VCC = 6.0 V), and guaranteed operation from –40 °C to +125 °C. It integrates clamp diodes on all inputs for safe interfacing with voltages exceeding VCC using current-limiting resistors, and is widely deployed in digital logic control, address decoding, and enable signal conditioning in industrial microcontroller peripherals.

For engineers reviewing the 74HC00PW,118 datasheet, 74HC00PW,118 pinout, 74HC00PW,118 application, or 74HC00PW,118 equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, validated pin mapping, confirmed thermal and timing specifications across temperature extremes, and real-world substitution guidance - all derived from Nexperia's official Rev. 11 product data sheet dated 29 April 2025.

Technical Context

The 74HC00PW,118 implements four independent 2-input NAND gates using silicon-gate CMOS technology, with input clamp diodes enabling overvoltage-tolerant interfacing. Its logic function follows standard Boolean NAND behavior: output is LOW only when both inputs are HIGH; otherwise output is HIGH.

It operates within JEDEC-compliant voltage ranges (JESD7A for 2.0–6.0 V), supports HBM ESD protection >2000 V and CDM >1000 V, and meets latch-up immunity per JESD78 Class II Level B (>100 mA). Input thresholds scale with VCC for 74HC00 variant, ensuring robust noise margins across supply voltages.

FAQ

Can 74HC00PW,118 operate reliably at 3.3 V supply?

Yes. The 74HC00PW,118 is fully specified from 2.0 V to 6.0 V, including 3.3 V operation. At VCC = 3.3 V, VIH(min) = 2.1 V and VIL(max) = 1.35 V per Table 6, providing 1.15 V high-state and 1.35 V low-state noise margins - sufficient for clean interfacing with 3.3 V microcontrollers and FPGAs without additional buffering.

Is the TSSOP14 package of 74HC00PW,118 compatible with standard reflow profiles?

Yes. The SOT402-1 package is qualified for IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1), allowing unlimited floor life and compatibility with standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260 °C, 60 s above 217 °C). Its 0.65 mm pitch and gull-wing leads support automated optical inspection and high-yield placement.

What is the maximum fan-out capability of 74HC00PW,118 at 5 V?

At VCC = 5.0 V, the 74HC00PW,118 can drive up to 10 standard 74HC-series inputs (each drawing ~1 μA) while maintaining VOL < 0.4 V and VOH > 4.4 V. For heavier capacitive loads (>50 pF), propagation delay increases linearly - e.g., 100 pF load raises tpd to ~35 ns at 5 V, per dynamic characterization curves in Figure 4.

Does 74HC00PW,118 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?

No. Unused inputs must be tied HIGH or LOW - floating inputs cause increased ICC, erratic output states, and potential oscillation due to CMOS input stage sensitivity. Tying unused inputs to VCC or GND via direct connection (not high-value resistors) ensures stable logic levels and minimizes power consumption and EMI.
