Product details
Overview
74HCT27BQ-Q100 from Nexperia is an automotive-qualified triple 3-input NOR gate in DHVQFN14 package, operating from 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply, with TTL-compatible inputs, propagation delay of 12–32 ns (−40 °C to +125 °C), and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification for under-hood control logic.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT27BQ-Q100 datasheet, 74HCT27BQ-Q100 pinout, 74HCT27BQ-Q100 application, or 74HCT27BQ-Q100 equivalent, this device serves as a robust, low-power combinational logic element for automotive body control modules, powertrain interface circuits, and fault-monitoring logic where input level compatibility with legacy TTL systems and high-temperature reliability are required.
Technical Context
This device implements three independent 3-input NOR gates using CMOS technology with TTL-level input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V), enabling direct interfacing with standard 5 V TTL outputs without level shifting. Each gate exhibits symmetrical propagation delays (tPHL/tPLH) and transition times (tTHL/tTLH) across temperature.
Input clamp diodes allow safe operation with input voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors. The DHVQFN14 package features side-wettable flanks for automated optical inspection of solder joints and thermal enhancement for sustained operation at +125 °C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Triple 3-input NOR: Y = NOT(A OR B OR C), fully independent per gate |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - matches standard automotive 5 V rail with ±10 % tolerance |
| Propagation Delay | 12 ns (typ) to 32 ns (max) at VCC = 4.5 V, −40 °C to +125 °C - supports <30 MHz toggle rates |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - ensures reliable recognition of TTL output levels |
| Output Drive | ±4.0 mA at VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to drive 10 LSTTL loads or 20 CMOS inputs |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for engine compartment use |
| ESD Protection | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - exceeds automotive ESD immunity requirements |
Pinout & Package
DHVQFN14 (SOT762-1) package: 2.5 mm × 3.0 mm × 0.85 mm body, no leads, exposed thermal pad (non-electrical, optional GND connection), side-wettable flanks for AOI.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| GND (Pin 7) | Ground reference | Primary 0 V return path; decoupling capacitor must be placed adjacent to Pin 7 |
| VCC (Pin 14) | Power supply | 5 V nominal supply; requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling between Pins 7 and 14 |

Applications
| Body Control Module Logic | Powertrain Sensor Interface |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Combining door lock status, window position, and ignition signal to enable/disable interior lighting control logic. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Combinational logic gate performing real-time NOR evaluation of three safety-critical inputs before enabling output drivers. Use Value: Eliminates need for microcontroller GPIO polling; provides deterministic, zero-latency hardware-level interlock with <32 ns worst-case delay. |
Use Scenario: Validating simultaneous crankshaft and camshaft sensor readiness before enabling fuel injection timing sequence. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Gate-level validation block that asserts "sensor sync OK" only when all three timing signals meet validity criteria. Use Value: Ensures fail-safe engine start inhibition if any sensor fails open-circuit or produces invalid logic state. |
| Fault Monitoring Circuit | LED Driver Enable Logic |
|
Use Scenario: Monitoring overvoltage, overtemperature, and short-circuit flags from motor driver ICs to assert global shutdown signal. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Hardware-based OR-to-NOR inversion stage converting active-high fault flags into active-low disable command. Use Value: Provides sub-35 ns response to fault conditions-faster than software-based monitoring and immune to MCU lockup. |
Use Scenario: Enabling high-brightness LED clusters in headlamp assemblies only when CAN bus message, dimmer setting, and thermal sensor all indicate safe operation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Three-input combinatorial gate generating final enable signal for LED driver ICs based on concurrent system conditions. Use Value: Reduces BOM count by replacing discrete resistor-diode logic; improves thermal margin via low 2 μA ICC standby current. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple 3-input NOR gate applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT27PW-Q100 | TSSOP14 package (4.4 mm width); same electrical specs; 7.3 mW/K power derating above 81 °C | Better suited for board space-constrained but thermally moderate zones (e.g., infotainment bay) | Select when PCB reflow profile favors TSSOP or when manual inspection is preferred over AOI |
| SN74HCT27QPWRQ1 | Texas Instruments part; identical function and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 rating; VCC range 4.5–5.5 V; tpd max 25 ns @ +125 °C | Slightly faster max propagation delay; different pinout (SOIC-14) and JEDEC-compliant marking | Choose when TI ecosystem alignment or SOIC hand-solderability is prioritized over quad-flat footprint |
Compared with 74HCT27BQ-Q100, the PW variant trades thermal performance for smaller footprint and easier visual inspection, while the TI SN74HCT27QPWRQ1 offers tighter timing guarantees but requires layout adaptation due to SOIC pinout and lacks side-wettable flanks for AOI.

FAQ
Is the exposed thermal pad on the DHVQFN14 package electrically connected?
No. The exposed pad (Pin 1 index area) is not electrically connected to any internal node. It may remain floating or be soldered to GND for thermal improvement, but no electrical requirement exists. If connected to GND, it must not create a short to adjacent terminals.
Can 74HCT27BQ-Q100 operate reliably at 6.0 V supply?
No. The 74HCT27BQ-Q100 is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation per its recommended conditions. While absolute maximum rating allows 7.0 V, operation above 5.5 V violates AEC-Q100 qualification limits and risks parametric shift or accelerated wear-out.
What is the purpose of the input clamp diodes?
The internal clamp diodes protect inputs from overvoltage transients up to VCC + 0.5 V. When interfacing to signals exceeding VCC (e.g., 12 V sensor outputs), a series current-limiting resistor must be used to restrict IIK to ±20 mA, preventing damage per Table 4 limiting values.
How does the DHVQFN14 package support automated optical inspection?
The side-wettable flanks provide vertical copper surfaces along each edge of the package body. During reflow, solder wets these surfaces and forms a visible meniscus, enabling AOI systems to verify solder joint volume, alignment, and wetting quality without X-ray or cross-sectioning.
