Product details
Overview
MC74LCX00DR2 from onsemi is a low-voltage CMOS quad 2-input NAND gate operating from 1.65 V to 5.5 V supply, featuring 5 V-tolerant inputs for mixed-voltage interfacing, 24 mA balanced output drive at 3.0 V, near-zero static supply current (10 µA), and SOIC-14 packaging. It serves as a level-shifting logic buffer in battery-powered microcontroller I/O expansion circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MC74LCX00DR2 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated pin functions, real-world use cases in mixed-supply systems, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and application differences.
Technical Context
The MC74LCX00DR2 implements four independent NAND gates in a single SOIC-14 package, each with TTL-compatible input thresholds and LVTTL/LVCMOS-compatible output swing. Its 5 V-tolerant inputs enable direct connection to legacy 5 V logic without external level shifters.
It operates across −40 °C to +125 °C with propagation delays as low as 4.2 ns at 4.5–5.5 V and supports tri-state behavior only via external gating - the device itself has no internal enable control. Input leakage remains ≤ ±5.0 µA over full temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - enables operation in 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V systems without voltage translation. |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | −0.5 V to +6.5 V - allows safe interfacing with 5 V TTL outputs while powered from lower VCC. |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA @ 3.0 V - sufficient to drive multiple LVTTL loads or small capacitive buses directly. |
| Propagation Delay | 4.2 ns max @ 4.5–5.5 V - supports >200 MHz toggle rates in critical timing paths. |
| Quiescent ICC | 10 µA max - reduces standby power in always-on IoT sensor nodes and portable devices. |
| Input Leakage | ±5.0 µA max @ 3.6 V - ensures stable logic levels even with high-impedance pull-ups in battery-critical designs. |
| ESD Rating | HBM >2000 V - provides robust handling during manual assembly and board-level integration. |
Pinout & Package
MC74LCX00DR2 is packaged in a 14-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) per case 751A, with standard 1.27 mm pitch and 8.75 mm × 3.9 mm body dimensions. Pin 1 is located at the top-left corner with a beveled edge indicator.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A0 | First NAND gate input A - must be tied to defined logic level if unused to prevent floating-induced ICC increase. |
| 2 | B0 | First NAND gate input B - shares same VIH/VIL thresholds as all inputs; tolerant up to 6.5 V. |
| 3 | O0 | First NAND gate output - drives active-low logic; VOL ≤ 0.6 V @ 24 mA sink at 4.5 V. |
| 4 | A1 | Second NAND gate input A - electrically identical to A0; no internal coupling between gates. |
| 5 | B1 | Second NAND gate input B - supports same 5 V-tolerant operation regardless of VCC setting. |
| 6 | O1 | Second NAND gate output - matched delay and drive strength to O0; tPLH/tPHL skew ≤ 1.0 ns. |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference - all DC and AC specs referenced to this pin; requires low-inductance PCB connection. |
| 8 | O2 | Third NAND gate output - shares same output structure and load capability as O0 and O1. |
| 9 | A2 | Third NAND gate input A - supports VI = 0 to 5.5 V independent of VCC value. |
| 10 | B2 | Third NAND gate input B - input capacitance is 7 pF typical, minimizing switching current draw. |
| 11 | O3 | Fourth NAND gate output - fully characterized for 50 pF load at 3.3 V; VOLP ≤ 0.8 V. |
| 12 | A3 | Fourth NAND gate input A - unused inputs must be tied to GND or VCC per datasheet directive. |
| 13 | B3 | Fourth NAND gate input B - no internal ESD diode path to VCC; VI rating applies to absolute max only. |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply - decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 5 mm for stable AC performance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad 2-input NAND gate applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC00APWR | Lower VCC min (1.65 V same), but VI max = VCC + 0.5 V - not 5 V-tolerant; 32 mA drive @ 3.3 V. | Requires external level shifters when interfacing with 5 V sources; better suited for pure 3.3 V systems. | Select SN74LVC00APWR only when all upstream logic is ≤ VCC + 0.5 V and higher drive is needed. |
| 74AHC00PW,118 | Wider VCC range (2 V–5.5 V); VI max = VCC + 0.5 V; 8 mA drive @ 3.3 V; 7.5 ns delay @ 3.3 V. | Not suitable for 1.8 V or 2.5 V operation; insufficient drive for multi-load fan-out without buffers. | Choose 74AHC00PW,118 only in legacy 5 V-only designs where low ICC is secondary to cost. |
Compared with SN74LVC00APWR and 74AHC00PW,118, the MC74LCX00DR2 uniquely supports true 5 V input tolerance at VCC as low as 1.65 V - enabling single-chip mixed-voltage interfacing without redesigning signal chains or adding components.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the MC74LCX00DR2 can safely accept?
The MC74LCX00DR2 supports DC input voltages from −0.5 V to +6.5 V, independent of VCC. This 5 V-tolerant capability allows it to interface directly with 5 V TTL outputs even when powered from 1.65 V to 3.3 V supplies - a key differentiator versus standard LVC or AHC families. The absolute maximum rating must not be exceeded in continuous operation.
Does the MC74LCX00DR2 have a tri-state output mode?
No, the MC74LCX00DR2 does not include internal tri-state control. Each of its four NAND gates has a standard push-pull output with no enable pin. To achieve high-impedance behavior, external gating (e.g., AND-ing the output with an enable signal) is required. This differs from octal buffers or bus transceivers that integrate explicit output-enable functionality.
What is the recommended decoupling for the MC74LCX00DR2?
A 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed within 5 mm of the VCC (pin 14) and GND (pin 7) pins is mandatory for stable high-speed operation. For systems with heavy simultaneous switching, a bulk 4.7 µF tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor should be added nearby. The low 7 pF input capacitance helps minimize dynamic current spikes, but proper local decoupling remains essential to suppress supply rail noise.
Can unused inputs on the MC74LCX00DR2 be left floating?
No - unused inputs on the MC74LCX00DR2 must never be left floating. Per the datasheet, all unused inputs must be tied to either VCC or GND using a direct connection or appropriate pull-up/down resistor. Floating inputs cause increased ICC, unpredictable logic states, and potential oscillation due to noise coupling, especially in high-impedance CMOS structures.
Is the MC74LCX00DR2 suitable for automotive applications?
The MC74LCX00DR2 itself is not AEC-Q100 qualified; however, the pin-compatible MC74LCX00DTR2G−Q variant is explicitly rated for automotive use with PPAP capability. For non-automotive industrial or consumer designs requiring −40 °C to +125 °C operation, the MC74LCX00DR2 meets full temperature specification and offers identical electrical performance - just without automotive documentation traceability.
