Nexperia USA Inc. 74HC30PW,118

Overview

74HC30PW,118 from Nexperia is an 8-input CMOS NAND gate in TSSOP14 package, operating from 2.0 V to 6.0 V supply, with propagation delay as low as 12 ns at VCC = 6.0 V and CL = 50 pF, input clamping diodes for overvoltage tolerance, and guaranteed operation from –40 °C to +125 °C - used in digital logic control, address decoding, and bus arbitration circuits.

For engineers reviewing the 74HC30PW,118 datasheet, 74HC30PW,118 pinout, 74HC30PW,118 application, or 74HC30PW,118 equivalent, this device serves as a high-noise-immunity, low-power combinational logic element requiring precise input voltage thresholds (VIH = 4.2 V min at VCC = 6.0 V), output drive capability (IO = ±4.0 mA), and thermal stability across extended industrial temperature ranges.

Technical Context

The 74HC30PW,118 implements a single 8-input NAND function using standard CMOS transistor topology, with inputs featuring integrated clamp diodes enabling safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when current-limiting resistors are used. Its logic behavior follows strict Boolean NAND: output Y = NOT(A·B·C·D·E·F·G·H).

It operates within JEDEC-compliant voltage domains (JESD7A), supports TTL-level compatible variants (74HCT30PW), and exhibits rail-to-rail output swing with VOH ≥ 5.48 V and VOL ≤ 0.26 V at VCC = 6.0 V and IO = ±5.2 mA - ensuring robust signal integrity in mixed-logic systems.

FAQ

Can 74HC30PW,118 operate reliably at 2.0 V supply?

Yes - the device is fully specified from 2.0 V to 6.0 V. At VCC = 2.0 V, propagation delay is 130 ns (max), VIH = 1.5 V (min), and VOL ≤ 0.1 V (max) at IO = 4.0 mA. All static and dynamic parameters are guaranteed across this range per Table 5 and Table 7 of the datasheet.

Are pins 9, 10, and 13 truly unconnected internally?

Yes - pins 9, 10, and 13 are designated "n.c." (no connection) in Table 2 and Fig. 4 of the datasheet. They have no internal bond wire or silicon connection. Leaving them unconnected is mandatory; routing traces or applying pull resistors violates the absolute maximum ratings and may cause latch-up.

Does 74HC30PW,118 support mixed-voltage interfacing (e.g., 3.3 V inputs with 5 V supply)?

Yes - input clamp diodes allow safe interface to voltages up to VCC + 0.5 V (i.e., 6.5 V max). For 3.3 V inputs on a 5 V-powered device, no external level shifter is needed; the inputs meet VIH = 3.15 V (min) and VIL = 1.35 V (max) at VCC = 4.5 V, providing 0.15 V noise margin.

What is the maximum capacitive load the output can drive without timing degradation?

The output is characterized up to CL = 50 pF (Table 7). Driving >50 pF increases propagation delay nonlinearly - e.g., at CL = 100 pF and VCC = 4.5 V, tpd increases from 26 ns (typ) to ~45 ns. For loads >50 pF, add a buffer stage or reduce trace length and parallel capacitance.
