Product details
Overview
M74HC27RM13TR from STMicroelectronics is a high-speed CMOS triple 3-input NOR gate in TSSOP-14 package, operating from 2V to 6V supply, with typical propagation delay of 9ns at 6V, symmetrical output drive (±4mA), and guaranteed high noise immunity (28% VCC). It serves as a logic-level combinatorial gate in industrial control sequencers requiring fast, low-power discrete logic functions.
For engineers reviewing the M74HC27RM13TR datasheet, M74HC27RM13TR pinout, M74HC27RM13TR application, or M74HC27RM13TR equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 3-input NOR functionality, TSSOP-14 footprint compatibility, rail-to-rail input/output voltage tolerance, -55°C to +125°C operating range, and quiescent current ≤1µA at 25°C.
Technical Context
The device implements three independent 3-input NOR gates using silicon gate C2MOS technology, each with buffered output stages to ensure stable switching and high noise margin. Input protection circuits guard against ESD and transient overvoltage, supporting robust operation in noisy industrial environments.
Propagation delays are balanced (tPLH ≅ tPHL), and output impedance is symmetrical (|IOH| = IOL ≥ 4mA), enabling predictable timing behavior in synchronous logic trees and state-machine feedback paths without skew-induced glitches.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2V to 6V - supports single-supply operation across 3.3V and 5V logic systems |
| tPD (Typ.) | 9ns at VCC = 6V - enables sub-100MHz combinational logic paths in timing-critical designs |
| IOL / IOH | ≥4mA - drives standard TTL/CMOS loads without external buffering |
| VNIH / VNIL | ≥28% VCC - rejects common-mode noise up to ±1.68V at 6V supply |
| ICC (Max) | 1µA at TA = 25°C - suitable for battery-backed or ultra-low-power standby logic |
| Operating Temp | -55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended industrial and automotive under-hood applications |
| Input Capacitance | 5pF - minimizes loading on preceding drivers and reduces dynamic power |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-14 (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package), 4.9 × 6.4 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, 14-pin surface-mount, moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 9 | 1A, 2A, 3A | First input of each NOR gate - accepts 0–VCC logic levels with ±20µA leakage |
| 2, 4, 10 | 1B, 2B, 3B | Second input of each NOR gate - electrically identical to A inputs, no internal differentiation |
| 5, 11, 13 | 1C, 2C, 3C | Third input of each NOR gate - fully compatible with standard 74-series input thresholds |
| 6, 8, 12 | 1Y, 2Y, 3Y | Active-low NOR outputs - sink/source ≥4mA, VOL ≤0.26V at 4mA (VCC=4.5V) |
| 7 | GND | Logic ground reference - must be connected directly to system ground plane |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply - bypassing with 100nF ceramic capacitor required within 5mm |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple 3-input NOR function | Three independent gates in one package - reduces board space vs. discrete gate ICs or SOT-23 arrays |
| Pin-compatible with 74-series 27 | Direct drop-in replacement for legacy 74LS27/74F27 in upgrade paths without layout change |
| High noise immunity | VIH/VIL thresholds fixed at 28% VCC - eliminates marginal switching near VCC/2 in noisy environments |
| Buffered output stage | Internal driver buffers isolate input logic from capacitive load variations - ensures consistent tPLH/tPHL across load conditions |
| ESD-protected inputs | Withstands ≥2kV HBM - eliminates need for external TVS diodes in moderate ESD zones |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple 3-input NOR gate applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HC27DR | Same logic function, SOIC-14 package, 2kV HBM ESD rating vs. 4kV for M74HC27RM13TR | Larger footprint; less suitable for dense PCB layouts where TSSOP-14 saves >30% area | Select when board reworkability or wave-solder compatibility is prioritized over miniaturization |
| 74AHC27PW,118 | Higher speed (tPD = 5.2ns typ. at 5V), lower ICC (0.1µA max), but narrower VCC range (2–5.5V) | Not rated for 6V operation - invalid for 6V industrial sensors or legacy 5V+ systems | Select only in new 3.3V/5V designs requiring maximum speed and lowest static power |
Compared with SN74HC27DR and 74AHC27PW,118, the M74HC27RM13TR uniquely balances 6V tolerance, TSSOP-14 miniaturization, and industrial temperature support - making it optimal for retrofitting legacy 5V systems into space-constrained, wide-voltage industrial enclosures.

FAQ
Is M74HC27RM13TR compatible with 5V TTL logic inputs?
Yes. Its VIH and VIL thresholds (e.g., 3.15V/1.35V at VCC = 4.5V) exceed standard TTL input requirements, and it accepts input voltages up to VCC + 0.5V. When powered at 5V, it reliably interfaces with 74LS and 74F series outputs without level shifters.
What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive reliably?
At VCC = 4.5V and TA = 25°C, the device maintains VOL ≤ 0.26V while sourcing/sinking 4mA. With CL = 50pF (per AC specs), it supports typical PCB trace + input capacitance loads up to ~75pF while staying within 10% timing degradation - verified via propagation delay measurements in the datasheet.
Does this part require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?
No. Unused inputs must be tied to VCC or GND to prevent floating states and increased ICC. The datasheet explicitly prohibits leaving inputs unconnected due to potential shoot-through current and undefined output states - internal protection diodes do not eliminate this requirement.
Can M74HC27RM13TR operate at 2.0V and still meet its specified propagation delay?
Yes. At VCC = 2.0V, tPLH/tPHL is specified as 30–115ns (max) over temperature. While slower than the 9ns typical at 6V, it remains fully functional and meets all DC and AC specs in the 2–6V range - validated across -55°C to +125°C per Recommended Operating Conditions table.
