NXP Semiconductors 74LV00PW,118

Overview

74LV00PW,118 from Nexperia is a quad 2-input NAND gate logic IC operating across 1.0 V to 5.5 V supply, delivering propagation delays as low as 6.5 ns at 5.0 V and 7 ns at 3.3 V (CL = 15 pF), with CMOS-level power efficiency and TTL-input compatibility at VCC = 2.7–3.6 V. It serves as a fundamental combinational logic building block in digital control, interface buffering, and signal conditioning circuits.

For engineers reviewing the 74LV00PW,118 datasheet, 74LV00PW,118 pinout, 74LV00PW,118 application, or 74LV00PW,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include its wide VCC range (1.0–5.5 V), guaranteed operation down to -40 °C/+125 °C, input clamping diodes enabling overvoltage-tolerant interfacing, and TSSOP14 package suitability for space-constrained PCB layouts.

Technical Context

The 74LV00PW,118 implements four independent 2-input NAND gates in a single monolithic CMOS structure, with inputs featuring integrated clamp diodes that allow safe interfacing to signals exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors. Its logic function follows standard Boolean NAND behavior: output is LOW only when both inputs are HIGH.

It supports mixed-voltage system interfacing via TTL-compatible input thresholds at 2.7–3.6 V VCC and meets JEDEC standards JESD8-7, JESD8-5, JESD8C, and JESD36 across distinct voltage bands. Output drive capability is ±6 mA at 3.0 V and ±12 mA at 4.5 V, with ground bounce < 0.8 V and VOH undershoot > 2 V under typical 3.3 V conditions.

FAQ

Can 74LV00PW,118 operate reliably at 1.2 V supply?

Yes. The device is fully specified and guaranteed functional at VCC = 1.2 V, with VIH = 0.9 V and VIL = 0.3 V under those conditions. Static and dynamic parameters-including propagation delay (45 ns typ) and output drive-are characterized across the full 1.0–5.5 V range, not just extrapolated.

Does the TSSOP14 package require thermal pad soldering?

No. Unlike QFN variants, the SOT402-1 (TSSOP14) package has no exposed thermal pad. Pin 14 (VCC) and pin 7 (GND) provide all necessary power and ground connections; no thermal land or solder paste stencil modification is needed for thermal performance.

What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive while maintaining timing specs?

The 7 ns typical propagation delay at VCC = 3.3 V is measured with CL = 15 pF. Driving >30 pF increases tpd nonlinearly and may violate setup/hold margins in synchronous systems; for loads >25 pF, add a buffer stage or reduce trace length and parallel capacitance.

How does the input clamp diode affect PCB layout for overvoltage protection?

When interfacing to signals >VCC (e.g., 5 V inputs on a 3.3 V system), a series current-limiting resistor must be placed at each input. For 5 V → 3.3 V, a 1 kΩ resistor limits clamp current to <20 mA, staying within the ±20 mA IIK absolute maximum rating and avoiding damage or logic upset.
