Product details
Overview
MC74ACT02DT from onsemi is a quad 2-input NOR gate logic IC with TTL-compatible inputs, designed for high-speed digital signal routing in industrial control and embedded interface circuits. It operates at 4.5–5.5 V, delivers ±24 mA output drive, exhibits 8.5 ns typical propagation delay (tPLH) at 5 V/50 pF, and supports −40°C to +85°C ambient operation.
For engineers reviewing the MC74ACT02DT datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device serves as a low-power, high-drive CMOS logic gate suitable for level translation, enable/disable control, and combinational logic synthesis where input compatibility with legacy TTL systems is required.
Technical Context
The MC74ACT02DT implements four independent 2-input NOR gates in a single monolithic CMOS structure. Its TTL-compatible inputs accept VIH ≥ 2.0 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V at 5 V supply, enabling direct interfacing with 74LS and other bipolar logic families without external level shifters.
Each gate provides rail-to-rail output swing, with VOH ≥ 4.4 V and VOL ≤ 0.44 V under 24 mA load conditions at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V. The device uses standard CMOS output stages with symmetrical sourcing/sinking capability and exhibits low quiescent ICC ≤ 40 μA.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad NOR gate applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ACT02DR | SOIC-14 package (Case 751A); identical electrical specs and pinout; 55-unit rail vs. 96-unit rail for MC74ACT02DT | Requires PCB layout change due to larger SOIC footprint (8.75 × 4.0 mm vs. 5.0 × 4.4 mm) | Select when board space permits larger package and existing SOIC assembly infrastructure is in place |
| 74VHC02MTCX | Higher VIH (3.15 V min at 5 V); lower drive (±8 mA); faster tPLH (5.5 ns typ); same TSSOP-14 footprint | Not TTL-compatible - requires level-shifting for legacy TTL inputs; unsuitable for direct 74LS interface | Select only for new designs prioritizing speed and ultra-low ICC (<2 μA), not for drop-in TTL replacement |
Compared with SN74ACT02DR and 74VHC02MTCX, the MC74ACT02DT uniquely combines TTL-compatible inputs, ±24 mA drive, and space-saving TSSOP-14 packaging - making it optimal for industrial upgrades where footprint, interface compatibility, and output strength are jointly constrained.

FAQ
What logic family does the MC74ACT02DT belong to, and how does it differ from standard 74AC devices?
The MC74ACT02DT belongs to the 74ACT logic family, which features TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V at 5 V) unlike standard 74AC devices that require CMOS-level inputs (VIH ≥ 3.15 V). This allows the MC74ACT02DT to interface directly with 74LS and other bipolar logic without level shifters - a key distinction confirmed in the "′ACT02 Has TTL Compatible Inputs" feature list and DC characteristics tables for 74ACT.
What is the maximum propagation delay specification for MC74ACT02DT at 5 V supply and 50 pF load?
The maximum propagation delay for MC74ACT02DT is 9.0 ns for both tPLH and tPHL under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 5.0 V ±0.5 V, TA = −40°C to +85°C, CL = 50 pF), as specified in the AC Characteristics table on page 4 of the datasheet. This value applies to the TSSOP-14 package variant and is measured from 50% input transition to 50% output transition.
Does MC74ACT02DT support operation at 3.3 V supply voltage?
No, MC74ACT02DT is not rated for 3.3 V operation. Its recommended operating supply range is strictly 4.5 V to 5.5 V, as defined in the "RECOMMENDED OPERATING CONDITIONS" table. The 74ACT family's input thresholds and output drive performance are characterized only within this range; using 3.3 V may result in undefined logic states or insufficient noise margin.
What is the thermal performance limit for MC74ACT02DT in its TSSOP-14 package?
The MC74ACT02DT in TSSOP-14 package has a maximum junction temperature rating of 150°C and an operating ambient temperature range of −40°C to +85°C. While the datasheet does not specify θJA for DT suffix, the TSSOP-14 case (948G) is thermally rated for continuous operation at full output drive within this ambient range when mounted on standard FR-4 PCBs with adequate copper pour.
Is MC74ACT02DT pin-compatible with MC74ACT02D (SOIC-14) and MC74ACT02N (PDIP-14)?
Yes, MC74ACT02DT is pin-compatible with MC74ACT02D and MC74ACT02N. All three variants share identical pin numbering and function mapping per Figure 1 (Pinout: 14-Lead Packages), with Pin 1 = Input A of Gate 1, Pin 2 = Input B of Gate 1, Pin 3 = Output Y of Gate 1, etc., and common GND (Pin 7) and VCC (Pin 14). This allows direct substitution across packages when board layout accommodates the physical dimensions.
