Product details
Overview
74HCT27PW-Q100 from Nexperia is an automotive-grade triple 3-input NOR gate in TSSOP14 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 qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for use in engine control units and body electronics.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT27PW-Q100 datasheet, 74HCT27PW-Q100 pinout, 74HCT27PW-Q100 application, or 74HCT27PW-Q100 equivalent, key selection criteria include input logic level compatibility (TTL), guaranteed operation up to +125 °C, low dynamic power dissipation (CPD = 30 pF), and side-wettable flank packaging for AOI-capable solder joint inspection.
Technical Context
This device implements three independent 3-input NOR logic functions 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 legacy 5 V TTL systems without level shifting. Each gate features integrated input clamp diodes for overvoltage tolerance when used with current-limiting resistors.
It operates across −40 °C to +125 °C ambient temperature, supports wide noise margins (typical VIH − VOL = 1.74 V, VOH − VIL = 2.92 V at VCC = 5 V), and meets JESD8C (2.7–3.6 V) and JESD7A (2.0–6.0 V) standards - though rated only for 4.5–5.5 V in automotive configuration per recommended conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Triple 3-input NOR: Y = NOT(A OR B OR C), fully independent gates |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures stable operation in 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 - defines maximum combinational timing budget |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-level: VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V - enables plug-in replacement of 74LS27 in legacy 5 V systems |
| Output Drive | ±4.0 mA at VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to drive 10 LSTTL loads or 20 CMOS loads |
| Power Dissipation Cap. | CPD = 30 pF - used to calculate dynamic power: PD = 30 × VCC² × fin × N + Σ(CL × VCC² × fout) |
| ESD Robustness | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - exceeds automotive board-level ESD requirements per ISO 10605 |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP14 package (SOT402-1): plastic thin shrink small outline, 14 leads, 4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm lead pitch, side-wettable flanks for automated optical inspection of solder joints.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1A | First NOR gate input A - accepts TTL-level HIGH/LOW signals |
| 2 | 1B | First NOR gate input B - electrically identical to 1A, no internal coupling |
| 3 | 2A | Second NOR gate input A - isolated from Gate 1; shares no internal nodes |
| 4 | 2B | Second NOR gate input B - supports independent 3-input NOR function with 2A, 2C, 2Y |
| 5 | 2C | Second NOR gate input C - all three inputs must be LOW for HIGH output |
| 6 | 2Y | Second NOR gate output - drives capacitive loads up to 15 pF within spec |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference (0 V) - mandatory connection for logic reference and thermal path |
| 8 | 3Y | Third NOR gate output - symmetrical drive strength and timing vs. 1Y/2Y |
| 9 | 3A | Third NOR gate input A - pin 9 is input, not output; matches SO14/DHVQFN pin mapping |
| 10 | 3B | Third NOR gate input B - consistent with IEC logic symbol orientation |
| 11 | 3C | Third NOR gate input C - completes third independent 3-input NOR function |
| 12 | 1Y | First NOR gate output - directly driven by 1A/1B/1C; no internal feedback |
| 13 | 1C | First NOR gate input C - all three inputs tied to same voltage threshold specs |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply (4.5–5.5 V) - decoupling capacitor (100 nF) required within 10 mm |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for −40 °C to +125 °C operation in safety-critical automotive ECUs without derating |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | VIH(min) = 2.0 V, VIL(max) = 0.8 V at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V - eliminates need for external level shifters |

| Side-wettable flanks (SWF) | TSSOP14 package geometry allows AOI detection of solder joint voids and bridging defects |
| High noise immunity | Typical noise margin > 1.7 V (VNH/VNL) at VCC = 5 V - resists EMI in under-hood environments |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 100 mA per JESD78 Class II Level B - prevents destructive latch-up during transients |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Body Control Module (BCM) |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT27D-Q100 | SO14 package (SOT108-1), 3.9 mm body width, no side-wettable flanks | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy PCBs with SO footprint; lacks AOI support | Select when manual rework or wave soldering is required; avoid for high-volume SMT with AOI validation. |
| 74HCT27BQ-Q100 | DHVQFN14 package (SOT762-1), 2.5 × 3 mm, thermal-enhanced, no leads | Better thermal resistance (9.6 mW/K derating above 98 °C) and smaller footprint for space-constrained modules | Choose for ADAS camera modules or compact telematics units where size and thermal performance outweigh AOI needs. |
Compared with 74HCT27PW-Q100, the D-Q100 variant trades AOI capability for mechanical robustness in manual assembly, while the BQ-Q100 sacrifices optical inspectability for 40 % smaller area and improved thermal dissipation - making PW the balanced choice for high-reliability SMT automotive production.

FAQ
Can 74HCT27PW-Q100 operate at 3.3 V supply?
No. Per the datasheet's Recommended Operating Conditions, 74HCT27PW-Q100 is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply. At 3.3 V, input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V) become non-compliant with typical 3.3 V logic HIGH levels (~3.0 V), risking unreliable switching. Use 74HC27PW-Q100 instead for 2.0–6.0 V operation.
What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive reliably?
The device is characterized with CL = 15 pF and 50 pF loads in dynamic testing (Table 9). Driving >50 pF increases propagation delay nonlinearly and may cause output ringing; for loads exceeding 50 pF, add a series resistor (22–47 Ω) near the output to dampen reflections and maintain signal integrity.
Does the GND pad on the TSSOP14 package require soldering?
No. Pin 7 is the sole electrical GND connection. The exposed thermal pad (if present in variant) is not electrically connected and has no solder requirement per datasheet Note [1] - if soldered, it must remain floating or tied to GND with no impedance; improper grounding causes thermal stress or solder voids.
How does the input clamp diode affect interfacing with 12 V sensors?
The internal clamp diodes allow safe connection of 12 V open-collector sensor outputs via a series current-limiting resistor (e.g., 10 kΩ), limiting input current to <20 mA per Absolute Maximum Ratings. This avoids external diodes and simplifies interface design for wake-up or diagnostic lines in automotive networks.
