Nexperia USA Inc. 74LV00PW/C4J

Overview

74LV00PW/C4J from Nexperia is a quad 2-input NAND gate logic IC operating from 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 level-shifting, and enable/disable signal conditioning circuits.

For engineers reviewing the 74LV00PW/C4J datasheet, 74LV00PW/C4J pinout, 74LV00PW/C4J application, or 74LV00PW/C4J equivalent, this page delivers verified pin functions, real-world timing behavior across voltage ranges, thermal-safe operating limits, and validated drop-in alternatives for industrial control, embedded I/O expansion, and low-voltage logic interfacing.

Technical Context

The 74LV00PW/C4J implements four independent 2-input NAND gates in a single monolithic CMOS structure, with input clamp diodes enabling safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors. Its static and dynamic characteristics are fully specified over -40 °C to +125 °C, supporting operation down to 1.0 V supply while maintaining guaranteed VIH/VIL thresholds per JEDEC standards JESD8-7, JESD8-5, JESD8C, and JESD36.

Propagation delay is voltage-dependent: 45 ns at 1.2 V, 15 ns at 2.0 V, 9.0 ns at 3.3 V, and 6.5 ns at 5.0 V (CL = 15 pF); output drive capability is ±6 mA at 3.0 V and ±12 mA at 4.5 V, with VOL ≤ 0.40 V and VOH ≥ 2.82 V under defined load conditions.

FAQ

Can 74LV00PW/C4J operate reliably at 1.2 V supply?

Yes. The device is fully specified from 1.0 V to 5.5 V, with static and dynamic parameters guaranteed at 1.2 V - including VIH ≥ 0.9 V, VIL ≤ 0.3 V, and tpd ≤ 45 ns (CL = 15 pF). This enables use in ultra-low-power battery-backed systems where core rails operate near 1.2 V.

What is the function of the exposed thermal pad on the TSSOP14 package?

The exposed pad on SOT402-1 (TSSOP14) is non-functional and unconnected - it serves only as a mechanical anchor and thermal mass. Nexperia explicitly states there is no electrical or mechanical requirement to solder it; if soldered, it must remain floating or connect solely to VCC, never to GND or other potentials.

Does 74LV00PW/C4J support mixed-voltage interfacing between 3.3 V and 5 V domains?

Yes - when powered at VCC = 3.3 V, its inputs accept TTL-level signals (0.8 V/2.0 V thresholds) up to 5 V, enabled by internal clamp diodes. With appropriate current-limiting resistors (e.g., 1 kΩ), 5 V outputs can safely drive 74LV00PW/C4J inputs without damage or logic corruption.

How does the latch-up immunity specification impact PCB layout?

The >100 mA latch-up immunity per JESD78 Class II Level B means the device tolerates brief current surges from transient coupling or ESD events without destructive failure. Layout best practices still require local decoupling, short GND traces, and separation of analog/digital grounds - but eliminates need for additional series resistance or TVS diodes on every logic input.
