Nexperia USA Inc. 74HCT10PW-Q100J

Overview

74HCT10PW-Q100 from Nexperia is an automotive-qualified triple 3-input NAND gate in TSSOP14 package, operating from -40 °C to +125 °C with TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V), VOH ≥ 3.98 V at IO = −4.0 mA, VOL ≤ 0.26 V at IO = 4.0 mA, and tPD = 14 ns typical (VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF), used for combinatorial logic control in engine management and body electronics.

For engineers reviewing the 74HCT10PW-Q100 datasheet, 74HCT10PW-Q100 pinout, 74HCT10PW-Q100 application, or 74HCT10PW-Q100 equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, TTL-level input compatibility, 14-pin TSSOP thermal performance (7.3 mW/K derating above 81 °C), and verified 3-gate functional redundancy in safety-critical signal conditioning paths.

Technical Context

This device implements three independent 3-input NAND gates using silicon-gate CMOS technology with TTL-compatible input thresholds, enabling direct interfacing with legacy 5 V TTL logic without level shifters. Each gate exhibits identical truth table behavior: output HIGH when any input is LOW, LOW only when all three inputs are HIGH.

Input clamp diodes allow safe interface to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors. The design supports rail-to-rail output swing under specified load conditions and maintains guaranteed switching performance across full automotive temperature range with static VIH/VIL margins validated per JEDEC JESD7A.

Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple 3-input NAND gate applications.

Compared with 74HCT10PW-Q100, the SO14 variant offers easier hand-soldering but sacrifices PCB space and thermal efficiency, while the SN74HCT10PWR reduces cost but removes AEC-Q100 traceability-making the PW version the sole choice for production automotive modules requiring both density and qualification compliance.

FAQ

Is 74HCT10PW-Q100 pin-compatible with 74HC10PW-Q100?

Yes-both share identical TSSOP14 pinout (SOT402-1), same 14-pin assignment, and identical logic function. However, 74HC10PW-Q100 uses CMOS input thresholds (VIH = 3.15 V min at VCC = 4.5 V), making it incompatible with TTL-level drivers without level shifting, unlike the TTL-compatible 74HCT10PW-Q100.

What is the maximum recommended VCC for continuous operation?

The absolute maximum VCC is +7 V, but the recommended operating range is strictly 4.5 V to 5.5 V per datasheet Table 5. Operating above 5.5 V voids AEC-Q100 qualification compliance and risks accelerated parametric drift; sustained use at 6.0 V is permitted only for short-duration testing under controlled lab conditions.

Can this device drive a 10 kΩ pull-up resistor directly?

No-output drive capability is specified at IO = ±4.0 mA (VOL ≤ 0.26 V). A 10 kΩ pull-up to 5 V draws only 0.5 mA, which is within spec, but the device is not designed for high-impedance bus termination; it is intended for logic-to-logic interfacing, not open-drain bus driving. Use dedicated buffer or line-driver ICs for bus applications.

Does the input clamp diode structure support 12 V tolerant inputs?

Clamp diodes protect against transient overvoltage (VI < −0.5 V or VI > VCC + 0.5 V), but sustained 12 V input requires external current limiting. With a 10 kΩ series resistor at VCC = 5 V, input current remains below ±20 mA absolute max, enabling safe 12 V interface-confirmed in Section 5.2 and Table 4 of the datasheet.
