Nexperia USA Inc. 74LV00PW/S400,118

Overview

74LV00PW/S400,118 from Nexperia is a quad 2-input CMOS NAND gate optimized for low-voltage operation (1.0 V to 5.5 V), featuring TTL-level input compatibility at VCC = 2.7–3.6 V, ±12 mA output drive, and guaranteed operation from –40 °C to +125 °C in TSSOP14 package. It serves as a logic-level combinatorial gate in power-constrained digital control circuits, such as microcontroller I/O expansion and sensor interface signal conditioning.

For engineers reviewing the 74LV00PW/S400,118 datasheet, 74LV00PW/S400,118 pinout, 74LV00PW/S400,118 application, or 74LV00PW/S400,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include supply voltage flexibility (1.0–5.5 V), propagation delay ≤9.0 ns at 3.3 V, output drive capability (±12 mA), and industrial temperature range support without derating penalties below +81 °C.

Technical Context

The 74LV00PW/S400,118 implements four independent 2-input NAND gates using silicon-gate CMOS technology, with input clamp diodes enabling safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors. Each gate exhibits identical static and dynamic behavior across the full operating voltage and temperature range.

Its logic function follows standard Boolean NAND truth table (H/H→L, H/L→H, L/H→H, L/L→H), with propagation delays specified separately for tPLH and tPHL (equal per datasheet), and measurement thresholds defined by VCC-dependent VM levels (e.g., 1.5 V for 2.7–3.6 V operation).

FAQ

Can the 74LV00PW/S400,118 operate reliably at 1.2 V supply?

Yes. The device is fully specified and guaranteed to function at VCC = 1.2 V, with VIH = 0.9 V and VIL = 0.3 V under static conditions, and tpd = 45 ns typical. All logic thresholds and timing parameters remain valid across the entire –40 °C to +125 °C range at this voltage.

Is the exposed thermal pad on the TSSOP14 package electrically connected?

No. The exposed pad in SOT402-1 (TSSOP14) is non-functional and not internally connected to any die node. Nexperia documentation explicitly states it may remain floating or be soldered to a thermal land without electrical connection-no grounding or VCC tie is required or recommended.

Does the 74LV00PW/S400,118 support hot-swap or live-insertion?

No. The device lacks bus-hold or I^off protection features. Applying input signals before VCC stabilization may cause excessive ICC or latch-up due to internal parasitic paths. Power sequencing-VCC first, then inputs-is mandatory per datasheet Section 7 limiting values.

What is the maximum capacitive load the 74LV00PW/S400,118 can drive at 3.3 V?

The device is characterized up to CL = 15 pF for timing (tpd), but static drive capability remains within specification up to CL = 50 pF per output, as confirmed by CPD = 22 pF measurement condition. For loads >15 pF, propagation delay increases linearly-e.g., ~12 ns at 30 pF-without violating VOH/VOL limits.
