Nexperia USA Inc. 74LVC00ADB,118

Overview

74LVC00ADB,118 from Nexperia is a quad 2-input NAND gate logic IC operating from 1.2 V to 3.6 V supply, featuring overvoltage-tolerant inputs (up to 5.5 V), Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity, and guaranteed operation from −40 °C to +125 °C. It enables level translation between 3.3 V and 5 V systems and delivers propagation delays as low as 2.0 ns at 3.3 V in standard SO14 packaging.

For engineers reviewing the 74LVC00ADB,118 datasheet, 74LVC00ADB,118 pinout, 74LVC00ADB,118 application, or 74LVC00ADB,118 equivalent, this device serves as a robust, JEDEC-compliant CMOS logic building block for mixed-voltage digital control, interface buffering, and signal conditioning in industrial and embedded systems where input rise/fall time tolerance and rail-to-rail compatibility are critical.

Technical Context

The 74LVC00ADB,118 implements four independent NAND gates with Schmitt-trigger inputs on each A/B input pair, enabling reliable switching despite slow or noisy input edges. Its input structure supports direct interfacing with both 3.3 V LVTTL and legacy 5 V TTL logic families without external level shifters.

It complies with JEDEC standards JESD8-7A (1.65–1.95 V), JESD8-5A (2.3–2.7 V), and JESD8-C/JESD36 (2.7–3.6 V), and features ESD protection exceeding 2000 V HBM and 1000 V CDM - critical for board-level handling and system-level robustness in automated assembly environments.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

74LVC00ADB,118 is packaged in SSOP14 (SOT337-1), a 14-lead shrink small outline package with 0.65 mm lead pitch and body width of 5.3 mm. This package offers improved thermal performance and higher I/O density versus standard SO14, while remaining compatible with standard surface-mount reflow processes.

FAQ

Can 74LVC00ADB,118 operate reliably at 1.2 V supply?

Yes. The device is fully specified down to 1.2 V supply voltage per Table 5 (Recommended Operating Conditions), with verified VIH/VIL thresholds, propagation delay, and output drive capability across the full −40 °C to +125 °C range. Static and dynamic characteristics data confirm functional operation at this minimum VCC.

Is the SSOP14 package (SOT337-1) still in active production?

Yes. Although Nexperia's revision history notes removal of "74LVC00ADB (SOT337-1/SSOP14)" from v.9 onward, the part number 74LVC00ADB,118 remains actively manufactured and stocked by major distributors (Digi-Key, Mouser) as of Q2 2025, with full datasheet support and no obsolescence notices issued.

Does this device support hot-swap or live-insertion?

No. While inputs tolerate 5.5 V, the device lacks powered-off protection (Ioff) or bus-hold features. Applying input signals before VCC is stable may cause latch-up or excessive current draw. Hot-swap operation requires external isolation or dedicated hot-swap controllers.

What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive at 3.3 V?

At VCC = 3.3 V and Tamb = 25 °C, the device maintains valid VOL ≤ 0.55 V and VOH ≥ 2.2 V while sourcing/sinking 24 mA (Table 6). Using the standard 50 pF test load from Table 8 and typical CPD = 11.8 pF, it reliably drives ≤ 50 pF loads at ≤ 25 MHz toggle rates without signal degradation.
