Nexperia USA Inc. 74HC00PW-Q100,118

Overview

74HC00PW-Q100 from Nexperia is an automotive-qualified quad 2-input NAND gate in TSSOP14 package, operating from 2.0 V to 6.0 V supply, with propagation delay as low as 7 ns at VCC = 6.0 V and CL = 50 pF, and qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40 °C to +125 °C) for engine control and body electronics applications.

For engineers reviewing the 74HC00PW-Q100 datasheet, 74HC00PW-Q100 pinout, 74HC00PW-Q100 application, or 74HC00PW-Q100 equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, validated pin mapping, confirmed automotive temperature and voltage compliance, and real-world timing and noise immunity specifications - all extracted from Nexperia's official Rev. 6 product data sheet dated 15 February 2024.

Technical Context

This device implements four independent CMOS NAND gates with input clamp diodes enabling safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors. It supports both high-noise-immunity CMOS-level inputs (74HC variant) and TTL-compatible inputs (74HCT variant), with identical pinout and package across both families.

Each gate exhibits symmetric propagation delays (tPHL = tPLH) and transition times (tTHL = tTLH), defined at VM = 0.5VCC for HC and VM = 1.3 V for HCT, under CL = 50 pF load. Power dissipation is governed by CPD = 22 pF and static ICC ≤ 40 μA at VCC = 6.0 V.

FAQ

What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74HC00PW-Q100?

The 74HC00PW-Q100 is a combinational logic gate, not a clocked device, so it has no specified clock frequency. Its usable toggle rate is determined by propagation delay and load capacitance: with CL = 50 pF and VCC = 6.0 V, tpd = 7 ns implies a maximum reliable switching frequency below ~50 MHz due to cumulative rise/fall/propagation timing margins. For precise timing analysis, use tpd + tt ≤ 23 ns (max) at worst-case conditions.

Can the 74HC00PW-Q100 drive a 100 pF capacitive load reliably?

Yes - while characterized at CL = 50 pF, the 74HC00PW-Q100 maintains valid VOH/VOL levels up to CL = 100 pF at VCC = 4.5 V and Tamb = +125 °C, with measured tpd increasing to ≤35 ns and tt ≤ 30 ns. Output drive strength (±4 mA) remains sufficient, though layout should minimize trace inductance to avoid ringing.

Is there a pin-compatible 74HC00 variant with enhanced ESD protection?

No - the 74HC00PW-Q100 already incorporates HBM > 2000 V and CDM > 1000 V per JEDEC JS-001/JS-002, which exceeds standard automotive ESD requirements. Nexperia does not offer a separate "enhanced ESD" version of this part number; all Q100-qualified variants share identical ESD ratings per the Rev. 6 datasheet.

Does the TSSOP14 package require special reflow profile considerations?

Yes - the SOT402-1 (TSSOP14) package has a maximum peak reflow temperature of 260 °C and requires adherence to JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1. Pre-baking is unnecessary for MSL 1, but board design must ensure uniform heating and avoid shadowing; recommended soak time is 60–90 s at 150–200 °C before ramp-up to peak.
