Nexperia USA Inc. 74HC10PW,118

Overview

74HC10PW,118 from Nexperia is a triple 3-input NAND gate in TSSOP14 package, operating from 2.0 V to 6.0 V with CMOS-level inputs, 19 ns typical propagation delay at 4.5 V, and -40 °C to +125 °C temperature range-used for digital logic control in industrial PLC I/O modules.

For engineers reviewing the 74HC10PW,118 datasheet, 74HC10PW,118 pinout, 74HC10PW,118 application, or 74HC10PW,118 equivalent, this page delivers verified pin functions, static/dynamic timing specs, TTL-compatible alternatives, and real-world use cases in signal conditioning and combinational logic design.

Technical Context

This device implements three independent 3-input NAND gates with input clamp diodes enabling safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC using current-limiting resistors. Each gate exhibits identical truth table behavior: output is LOW only when all three inputs are HIGH.

It supports dual logic families: 74HC10PW uses CMOS input thresholds (VIH = 3.15 V min at VCC = 4.5 V), while its HCT variant accepts TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min). Static current consumption is ≤40 μA over full temperature range, and dynamic power is governed by CPD = 12 pF.

FAQ

What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74HC10PW,118?

The 74HC10PW,118 is a combinational logic device-not a clocked element-so it has no defined clock frequency. Its usable toggle rate depends on propagation delay and system loading: with 19 ns typical tpd at 4.5 V and 50 pF load, maximum reliable switching is ~26 MHz in ideal conditions. Real-world performance is limited by board parasitics and fan-out.

Can the 74HC10PW,118 drive LEDs directly?

No. While its outputs can sink/source ±4.0 mA at 4.5 V, this is insufficient for visible LED biasing (typically requiring 5–20 mA). Driving an LED directly risks violating VOL specifications and degrading timing. Use a dedicated driver transistor or buffer IC like ULN2003 for LED loads.

Is the 74HC10PW,118 pin-compatible with the 74LS10?

Yes, electrically and physically: both use 14-pin TSSOP/SO packages and share identical pin assignments (1A–3Y, VCC, GND). However, 74HC10PW,118 draws far less current, operates over wider voltage/temperature ranges, and lacks the LS family's current-sinking asymmetry-requiring verification of load compatibility in legacy designs.

Does the 74HC10PW,118 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors?

Not inherently-the device has no floating inputs or open-drain outputs. Inputs must be actively driven HIGH or LOW; unused inputs should be tied to VCC or GND to prevent oscillation and excess current. No pull-ups are needed for normal NAND operation, but may be added for wired-OR configurations or noise immunity in high-impedance nodes.
