STMicroelectronics M74HC00RM13TR

Overview

M74HC00RM13TR from STMicroelectronics is a high-speed CMOS quad 2-input NAND gate in TSSOP-14 package, operating from 2V to 6V supply, delivering 8ns typical propagation delay at 6V, ±4mA symmetrical output drive, and 1µA max quiescent current at 25°C - used in digital logic control, address decoding, and enable gating in industrial microcontroller interfaces.

For engineers reviewing the M74HC00RM13TR datasheet, M74HC00RM13TR pinout, M74HC00RM13TR application, or M74HC00RM13TR equivalent, key selection factors include VCC range compatibility (2–6V), guaranteed noise immunity (28% VCC min), balanced tPLH/tPHL delays, input/output voltage tolerance (–0.5V to VCC+0.5V), and TSSOP-14 thermal performance up to 125°C.

Technical Context

The M74HC00RM13TR implements four independent 2-input NAND gates using silicon gate C2MOS technology with three-stage buffered outputs, enabling stable switching and high noise rejection. Its input protection circuits guard against ESD and transient overvoltage, and its symmetrical output impedance ensures matched rise/fall times under load.

It operates across –55°C to +125°C with rail-to-rail input voltage support (0 to VCC) and output compliance (0 to VCC), while maintaining <0.4V VOL at 4mA sink and >4.18V VOH at 4mA source under 4.5V VCC - critical for interfacing with mixed-voltage 3.3V/5V logic systems.

FAQ

Is M74HC00RM13TR pin-compatible with standard 74-series 00 devices?

Yes - it is fully pin- and function-compatible with the 74LS00, 74HC00, and 74HCT00 families in TSSOP-14. All 14 pins match the industry-standard dual-in-line layout, including identical input/output assignments and GND/VCC positions. No PCB redesign is needed when upgrading from through-hole or SOP variants.

What is the maximum recommended operating frequency for combinational use?

The M74HC00RM13TR has no specified maximum clock frequency as a pure combinatorial device, but its 8ns typical propagation delay supports reliable operation in logic paths with ≤12MHz toggle rates. For synchronous designs, ensure setup/hold margins exceed tPD + trace skew, especially at 6V VCC and 125°C ambient.

Does this part require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?

No - all inputs feature integrated protection diodes and high-impedance CMOS structure, but floating inputs must be avoided to prevent increased ICC and potential oscillation. Unused inputs should be tied to VCC or GND via direct connection or ≤10kΩ resistor; never left open in production designs.

Can M74HC00RM13TR safely interface with 5V TTL outputs?

Yes - its VIH threshold is 3.15V (min) at VCC = 4.5V, and input voltage rating extends to VCC + 0.5V. When powered at 5V, it reliably accepts standard TTL HIGH (2.4–5V) and LOW (0–0.8V) levels without level-shifting, provided VCC remains within 2–6V and input current stays within ±20mA limits.
