NXP Semiconductors 74LVT00D,118

Overview

74LVT00D,118 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips Semiconductors) is a 3.3 V quad 2-input NAND gate logic IC in a 14-pin SO package. It delivers 2.7 ns typical propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL), 3 pF input capacitance, and supports –40°C to +85°C operation with ±32 mA output drive capability. It serves as a high-speed level-shifting combinational logic element in bus interface and control signal conditioning circuits.

For engineers reviewing the 74LVT00D,118 datasheet, 74LVT00D,118 pinout, 74LVT00D,118 application, or 74LVT00D,118 equivalent, key selection criteria include its LVT-family 3.3 V CMOS compatibility, guaranteed 24 mA low-state output current at 2.7 V supply, IEEE/IEC-compliant logic symbol, and SO14 footprint for board-level integration in industrial control and telecom backplane designs.

Technical Context

The 74LVT00D,118 implements four independent 2-input NAND gates using advanced BiCMOS LVT (Low-Voltage TTL) technology, enabling interoperability between 3.3 V LVTTL and 5 V TTL systems. Its inputs accept 5.5 V tolerant signals while operating from a 2.7–3.6 V supply, and outputs swing rail-to-rail with defined VOH/VOL across temperature.

It features symmetrical propagation delays (tPLH = tPHL = 2.7 ns typ. at CL = 50 pF, VCC = 3.3 V), low quiescent current (ICCL = 1 mA max with all outputs low), and robust ESD protection per JESD22-A114 (≥2 kV HBM). Input transition rate limit (∆t/∆v = 10 ns/V) ensures noise immunity during fast edge transitions.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

74LVT00D,118 is housed in a 14-pin plastic small outline (SO) package per SOT108-1, 3.9 mm body width, with standard JEDEC MS-012AC leadform. Pin 7 is GND; Pin 14 is VCC; each gate uses two adjacent inputs (A/B) and one dedicated output (Y).

FAQ

What is the maximum input voltage the 74LVT00D,118 can tolerate?

The 74LVT00D,118 supports DC input voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level, as specified in the "RECOMMENDED OPERATING CONDITIONS" table. This 5 V tolerance allows safe interfacing with higher-voltage logic families without external clamping or level-shifting circuitry, provided clamp current limits (±50 mA) are not exceeded.

Does the 74LVT00D,118 support operation at 2.5 V supply?

No - the 74LVT00D,118 has a minimum recommended VCC of 2.7 V per its datasheet. Operation below 2.7 V is outside specification and may result in undefined logic states, increased propagation delay, or failure to meet VOL/VOH thresholds. For 2.5 V systems, consider LVC-family alternatives such as SN74LVC00A.

What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the 74LVT00D,118 in SO14 package?

The datasheet does not specify θJA for the 74LVT00D,118. However, based on the SOT108-1 package construction (plastic SO, 3.9 mm body width), typical θJA for comparable SO14 logic devices is ~120°C/W with standard JEDEC 2S2P copper pad layout. Actual thermal performance depends on PCB copper area, airflow, and adjacent heat sources.

Can the 74LVT00D,118 be used as an oscillator by connecting output to input?

No - the 74LVT00D,118 is not characterized or guaranteed for linear oscillator operation. Its internal structure lacks controlled gain-bandwidth product or phase margin for stable ring oscillation. Intentional feedback may cause metastability, excessive current draw, or latch-up. Use dedicated oscillator ICs or Schmitt-trigger variants (e.g., 74LVT14) for clock generation.

Is the 74LVT00D,118 RoHS compliant?

Yes - the 74LVT00D,118 is manufactured in compliance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. NXP confirms lead-free terminations and halogen-free molding compound for this SO14 variant, with full material declarations available under NXP's Product Change Notification (PCN) documentation.
