Product details
Overview
74VHC00M from Fairchild Semiconductor is a quad 2-input NAND gate in 14-lead SOIC (M14A) package, operating across 2.0–5.5V supply, delivering 3.7ns typical propagation delay at 5V, ±8mA output drive, and 2µA max quiescent current - used for logic-level translation and combinatorial control in mixed-voltage digital systems.
For engineers reviewing the 74VHC00M datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified functional identity, SOIC-14 pin mapping, voltage-tolerant input protection (0–7V), noise-immune thresholds (28% VCC), and drop-in compatibility with 74HC00-based designs.
Technical Context
The 74VHC00M implements four independent CMOS NAND gates using silicon-gate VHC technology, achieving TTL-compatible speed while retaining CMOS power efficiency. Its three-stage buffered output architecture ensures stable switching and high noise immunity.
Input protection circuitry allows safe application of 0–7V signals regardless of VCC, enabling robust interfacing between 3V and 5V domains and battery-backup systems. Unused inputs must be tied HIGH or LOW per recommended operating conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Quad 2-input NAND - four independent gates, each with true NAND Boolean output |
| Propagation Delay | 3.7ns typical at VCC = 5.0V, CL = 15pF - enables high-speed synchronous logic in ≤135MHz fanout-1 systems |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0V to 5.5V - supports single-supply operation across 3.3V and 5V logic families |
| Output Drive | ±8mA at VCC = 4.5V - sufficient to drive 10 LS-TTL loads or multiple CMOS inputs |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | –0.5V to +7.0V - permits safe interfacing with overvoltage or dual-supply signal sources |
| Quiescent ICC | 2µA maximum at TA = 25°C - enables ultra-low static power in battery-powered or standby circuits |
| Noise Immunity | VNIH/VNIL ≥ 28% VCC - provides robust rejection of coupled transients on shared PCB traces |
Pinout & Package
74VHC00M is housed in a 14-lead Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package per JEDEC MS-012, 0.150" narrow body, with standard 1.27mm lead pitch and gull-wing terminations.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, 12 | Input (A1/B1, A2/B2, A3/B3, A4/B4) | Four pairs of NAND inputs - each pair drives one gate; all inputs tolerate 0–7V independent of VCC |
| 3, 6, 10, 13 | Output (Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4) | Active-low NAND outputs - rail-to-rail CMOS swing, capable of ±8mA sink/source at 4.5V |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference for all logic and I/O - must be low-impedance connection to minimize ground bounce |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply - powers internal logic and output buffers; decoupling capacitor required near pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-speed CMOS architecture | 3.7ns tPD at 5V - matches TTL timing without bipolar power penalty |
| Voltage-tolerant inputs | 0–7V input range - eliminates level-shifters when interfacing 5V controllers to 3V peripherals |
| Power-down input protection | Inputs remain protected even with VCC = 0V - prevents latch-up during hot-insertion or brownout |
| Low dynamic noise | VOLP ≤ 0.8V at CL = 50pF - reduces crosstalk in dense logic layouts |
| PIN- and FUNCTION-compatible with 74HC00 | Direct replacement in existing HC designs - no layout or firmware changes required |
Applications
| Industrial Control Logic | 3.3V/5V Level Translation |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Discrete safety interlock monitoring in PLC I/O modules where sensor inputs must be validated before actuator enable. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Combinatorial NAND gate implementing AND-NOT logic for dual-channel redundancy checking. Use Value: Input voltage tolerance (0–7V) accepts direct connection to 24V field sensors via resistive dividers; low ICC extends uptime in unattended remote nodes. |
Use Scenario: Bidirectional signal conditioning between a 5V microcontroller and 3.3V ADC in data acquisition front-ends. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage-domain interface element performing logic-level inversion and translation without external biasing. Use Value: Guaranteed VIH/VIL thresholds (0.7×VCC / 0.3×VCC) ensure clean recognition across both supply rails; 3.7ns tPD preserves timing margins in 20MHz sampling paths. |
| Battery-Backed Memory Interface | Digital Power Sequencing |
Use Scenario: Enabling write-protection logic for SRAM or EEPROM in systems with primary + backup power supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: NAND-based enable gate that asserts /WE only when both main VCC and backup battery are valid. Use Value: Input protection up to 7V allows direct sensing of battery voltage without attenuation; 2µA ICC minimizes drain on backup cells during extended storage. |
Use Scenario: Generating synchronized power-on reset delays and rail-enable sequencing in multi-rail FPGA or SoC power systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Glue logic element combining POR, voltage monitor flags, and manual reset into a composite enable signal. Use Value: Stable output with buffered stages prevents metastability-induced glitches; wide VCC range (2.0–5.5V) supports monitoring of auxiliary 3.3V and main 5V rails simultaneously. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad 2-input NAND gate applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HC00N | Slower tPD (15ns typ. at 5V); higher ICC (4µA max); same SOIC-14 pinout and logic function | Lower speed margin; less suitable for >20MHz clock domains or fast bus arbitration | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs timing requirements and legacy HC footprint is mandatory |
| SN74LVC00APWR | 3.3V-only supply (1.65–3.6V); lower VCC min; 3.5ns tPD; 32mA drive; TSSOP-14 package | Not compatible with 5V systems; requires level-shifting for mixed-voltage use | Choose for new 3.3V-only designs demanding higher drive strength and tighter timing control |
Compared with 74HC00N and SN74LVC00APWR, the 74VHC00M uniquely bridges 2.0–5.5V operation with sub-4ns speed and 7V-tolerant inputs - making it the only option among the three for direct 5V↔3V translation without external components or supply constraints.

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum input voltage rating for the 74VHC00M?
The 74VHC00M supports an absolute maximum DC input voltage of –0.5V to +7.0V, independent of VCC. This allows direct connection to 24V sensors (with appropriate series resistance) or battery-backed lines without external clamping diodes - a key differentiator from standard HC devices limited to VCC + 0.5V.
Is the 74VHC00M pin-compatible with the 74HC00?
Yes, the 74VHC00M is pin- and function-compatible with the 74HC00. Both share identical SOIC-14 pinouts, truth tables, and logic behavior. The 74VHC00M improves upon the HC version with faster propagation delay (3.7ns vs. 15ns), lower ICC (2µA vs. 4µA), and enhanced input voltage tolerance (0–7V vs. 0–VCC+0.5V).
Can the 74VHC00M operate reliably at 2.0V supply?
Yes, the 74VHC00M is fully specified down to 2.0V supply voltage. At VCC = 2.0V, it guarantees VIH ≥ 1.50V, VIL ≤ 0.50V, VOL ≤ 0.1V at 50µA load, and tPLH/tPHL ≤ 13.0ns (CL = 50pF). This makes it suitable for low-power portable systems powered by single Li-ion cells or regulated 2.0V rails.
Does the 74VHC00M require pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?
Yes - per Fairchild's Recommended Operating Conditions, all unused inputs on the 74VHC00M must be terminated to either VCC or GND. Floating inputs can cause excessive ICC, increased noise susceptibility, and potential oscillation due to undefined threshold crossing, especially near VCC/2.
What is the thermal performance of the 74VHC00M in SOIC-14 package?
The 74VHC00M in M14A SOIC package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of approximately 150°C/W under standard JEDEC test conditions. With its max ICC of 2µA and low dynamic power, junction temperature rise remains negligible (<0.1°C) in typical operation - eliminating need for thermal derating in most applications.
