Product details
Overview
MC74ACT10ML1 from onsemi is a triple 3-input NAND gate logic IC with TTL-compatible inputs, 24 mA output drive capability, and operation over 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply range; it performs combinational logic inversion in digital control, address decoding, and bus interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MC74ACT10ML1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified functional specifications, package mapping to EIAJ-14 (CASE 965), confirmed DC/AC timing behavior at 5 V, and validated alternative options for logic-level compatibility and layout reuse.
Technical Context
The MC74ACT10ML1 implements three independent 3-input NAND gates in a single monolithic CMOS device, using advanced silicon-gate technology to achieve TTL-compatible input thresholds while maintaining CMOS power efficiency. Its input structure accepts standard TTL logic levels (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V at VCC = 5.5 V) and drives loads up to 24 mA per output.
Propagation delays are guaranteed ≤10.0 ns (tPLH/tPHL, CL = 50 pF, TA = –40°C to +85°C, VCC = 5.0 V), with quiescent supply current limited to 40 µA max and input leakage ≤±1.0 µA across temperature. The device operates within –40°C to +85°C ambient range and supports rail-to-rail output swing under specified load conditions.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple 3-input NAND gate applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC74AC10MEL | AC-series: CMOS-input thresholds (VIH = 3.85 V @ 5.5 V), lower ICC (≤20 µA), slower max tPD (10.5 ns) | Requires higher input voltage for logic high; unsuitable for direct TTL interface without pull-ups | Select when ultra-low static power and pure CMOS interfacing are prioritized over TTL compatibility |
| SN74ACT10DR | Same ACT logic family, SOIC-14 (D suffix), identical electrical specs, same 5 V operation and 24 mA drive | Same functional behavior but different package (SOIC vs. EIAJ); requires PCB footprint change | Choose for standard SOIC assembly processes where EIAJ-14 reflow profile or board space constraints do not apply |
Compared with MC74ACT10ML1, MC74AC10MEL trades TTL input compatibility for lower power and slightly relaxed speed, while SN74ACT10DR offers identical logic performance in a widely adopted SOIC package-enabling design reuse where footprint conversion is acceptable.

FAQ
What logic family does MC74ACT10ML1 belong to, and how does it differ from standard 74AC devices?
The MC74ACT10ML1 belongs to the 74ACT logic family, which features TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V at 5 V) while retaining CMOS output drive and low power consumption. Unlike the 74AC series-whose inputs require CMOS-level voltages (VIH ≥ 3.85 V)-the MC74ACT10ML1 can accept standard TTL outputs directly, eliminating level-shifting components. This makes MC74ACT10ML1 ideal for mixed-logic systems where legacy 74LS or microcontroller GPIOs drive the inputs.
What is the maximum operating temperature range for MC74ACT10ML1, and is it suitable for industrial environments?
The MC74ACT10ML1 is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature, fully meeting industrial-grade environmental requirements. Its guaranteed AC performance-including propagation delay ≤10.0 ns and output drive ±24 mA-is specified across this full range, with quiescent current capped at 40 µA even at maximum temperature. This makes MC74ACT10ML1 suitable for deployment in programmable logic controllers, motor drives, and outdoor instrumentation without thermal derating.
Does MC74ACT10ML1 support 3.3 V operation, or is it strictly a 5 V device?
The MC74ACT10ML1 is specified exclusively for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation, with recommended VCC = 5.0 V ±0.5 V. It does not support reliable 3.3 V operation: its TTL-compatible inputs require minimum VIH = 2.0 V, but output VOH drops below 3.0 V at VCC < 4.5 V, and propagation delay increases significantly. For 3.3 V systems, use MC74LVC10 or SN74LVC10A instead. MC74ACT10ML1 must be powered from a regulated 5 V rail to meet datasheet timing and drive guarantees.
What package type is used by MC74ACT10ML1, and is it compatible with standard reflow profiles?
The MC74ACT10ML1 uses the EIAJ-14 surface-mount package (CASE 965), a 14-lead plastic body with gull-wing leads, 0.65 mm pitch, and 10.2 mm × 5.3 mm footprint. It is compatible with standard SnPb and lead-free reflow profiles per J-STD-020, with peak temperature rating up to 260°C for 10 seconds. The package is dimensionally distinct from SOIC-14 and TSSOP-14, so PCB land patterns must match EIAJ-14 mechanical drawings-not generic 14-pin logic footprints.
Can MC74ACT10ML1 drive LEDs directly, and what current-limiting considerations apply?
Yes, MC74ACT10ML1 can drive LEDs directly via its 24 mA sink/source outputs. When sinking current (LED anode to VCC, cathode to output), configure the output low to illuminate; when sourcing (LED cathode to GND, anode to output), drive high. Use a series resistor calculated as R = (VCC − VLED − VOL)/IOUT, e.g., 150 Ω for a red LED (1.8 V VF) at 20 mA with VCC = 5 V and VOL = 0.44 V. Do not exceed 24 mA per pin or 50 mA total package current to avoid thermal stress.
