Product details
Overview
MC74AC00MELG from onsemi is a quad 2-input NAND gate in high-performance silicon-gate CMOS technology, operating across 2.0 V to 6.0 V supply range, delivering ±24 mA output drive, with propagation delays as low as 1.5 ns (tPHL) at 5.0 V, and used in digital logic interfacing, control signal conditioning, and bus gating in industrial and embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MC74AC00MELG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified functional identity, validated SOIC-14 pin mapping, confirmed AC/DC electrical behavior across temperature, JEDEC-compliant noise immunity, and real-world substitution guidance for logic-level compatibility.
Technical Context
The MC74AC00MELG implements four independent NAND gates using silicon-gate CMOS process, with input thresholds referenced to VCC (VIH = 2.1 V min at 3.0 V, 3.15 V min at 4.5 V), rail-to-rail output swing (VOH ≥ 2.9 V at 3.0 V, VOL ≤ 0.1 V), and guaranteed operation from −55 °C to +125 °C ambient.
It supports fast switching with tPLH/tPHL ≤ 9.5 ns max at 3.3 V and ≤ 8.5 ns max at 5.0 V (CL = 50 pF), exhibits low input leakage (IIN ≤ 1.0 µA), and maintains latch-up immunity >100 mA per IEC/JEDEC standards under bias at 85 °C.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad NAND gate applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AC00DR | TI part with identical logic function, same 2–6 V VCC range, but higher ICC (max 20 µA vs. 40 µA typical), slightly faster tPLH (1.3 ns typ at 5 V) | Validated for commercial-grade (0 °C to 70 °C) instrumentation only; not rated for −55 °C or +125 °C operation | Select when cost-sensitive commercial designs require tighter propagation delay spec and full temperature qualification is unnecessary |
| 74VHC00M | ON Semiconductor's VHC variant: lower ICC (1 µA max), wider VCC (2–5.5 V), but reduced drive (±8 mA), slower tPHL (7.5 ns max at 5 V) | Optimized for ultra-low-power portable devices; insufficient drive for driving multiple TTL loads or relay drivers | Select when system-level power budget is <100 µA per gate and load is single CMOS input or high-impedance node |
Compared with SN74AC00DR and 74VHC00M, the MC74AC00MELG uniquely balances wide temperature support (−55 °C to +125 °C), robust ±24 mA drive, and sub-10 ns speed-making it the only option among the three qualified for harsh-environment industrial and automotive control logic.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for MC74AC00MELG?
The absolute maximum DC supply voltage (VCC) for MC74AC00MELG is +6.5 V, but the recommended operating range is 2.0 V to 6.0 V. Operating continuously above 6.0 V risks exceeding internal oxide breakdown limits and may cause irreversible damage. The device is fully characterized and guaranteed across the 2.0–6.0 V range, including propagation delay, drive strength, and noise margins.
Does MC74AC00MELG support 3.3 V logic systems?
Yes, MC74AC00MELG fully supports 3.3 V logic systems: its VIH minimum is 2.1 V and VIL maximum is 0.9 V at VCC = 3.0 V, providing >1.2 V high-state and >2.4 V low-state noise margins. It drives ±24 mA at 3.3 V and meets all AC/DC specifications down to −55 °C, making it suitable for industrial 3.3 V backplanes and FPGA interface buses.
What package type is used for MC74AC00MELG?
MC74AC00MELG uses the SOIC-14 narrow-body package (Case 751A), Pb-free, with 1.27 mm lead pitch, 8.65 mm width, and gull-wing leads. The "MELG" suffix confirms this specific SOIC-14 Pb-free variant; it is not offered in TSSOP or PDIP packages under this ordering code.
Can MC74AC00MELG replace MC74ACT00 in existing designs?
No-MC74AC00MELG and MC74ACT00 are not interchangeable without validation. MC74ACT00 has TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min at 5 V), while MC74AC00MELG has CMOS inputs (VIH = 3.15 V min at 4.5 V). Swapping them may cause logic misreads in mixed-signal systems unless input voltage levels are confirmed to meet both thresholds.
Is MC74AC00MELG qualified for automotive applications?
MC74AC00MELG is not AEC-Q100 qualified, but its guaranteed operation from −55 °C to +125 °C ambient, >2000 V HBM ESD rating, and latch-up immunity >100 mA meet many non-safety-critical automotive subsystem requirements (e.g., body electronics, HVAC controls). For ASIL-B/C systems, formal AEC-Q100 testing and PPAP documentation must be obtained separately.
