Product details
Overview
MC74LCX02DR2 from onsemi is a low-voltage CMOS quad 2-input NOR gate operating from 1.65 V to 5.5 V supply, featuring 5 V-tolerant inputs, 24 mA balanced output sink/source capability at 3.0 V, near-zero static supply current (10 µA), and SOIC-14 packaging. It enables level-shifting logic interfacing between 3.3 V/2.5 V systems and legacy 5 V TTL devices in industrial control and embedded I/O expansion.
For engineers reviewing the MC74LCX02DR2 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical specs, truth table–aligned pin functions, thermal and ESD ratings, propagation delay (4.2 ns max at 5 V), and real-world interface guidance for mixed-voltage board design.
Technical Context
The MC74LCX02DR2 implements four independent 2-input NOR gates with TTL-compatible input thresholds and LVCMOS/LVTTL output drive. Its 5 V-tolerant inputs (VI up to 6.5 V) allow direct connection to 5 V logic without external level shifters, while its rail-to-rail output swing supports clean signal integrity across 1.65–5.5 V operation.
Propagation delay is specified from 4.2 ns (at 4.5–5.5 V) to 10.3 ns (at 1.65–1.95 V); output skew remains ≤1.0 ns across temperature. Input leakage is ±5.0 µA, and power-off leakage is ≤10 µA - critical for low-power standby modes in battery-backed systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - supports single-supply operation across 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | −0.5 V to +6.5 V - enables safe interfacing with 5 V TTL outputs without clamping diodes or resistors |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA at VCC = 3.0 V - sufficient to drive multiple LVTTL loads or small capacitive buses |
| Propagation Delay | 4.2 ns max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V - ensures timing compliance in high-speed digital control paths |
| Static ICC | 10 µA max - minimizes quiescent power in always-on monitoring circuits and sleep-mode peripherals |
| ESD Rating | HBM >2000 V - meets industrial-grade robustness requirements for handling and board-level reliability |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive, factory automation, and outdoor equipment |
Pinout & Package
MC74LCX02DR2 is packaged in SOIC-14 (Case 751A), with 1.27 mm pitch, 8.75 mm × 3.9 mm body, and Pb-free finish. Pin 1 is marked by notch or beveled corner; pin 7 is GND, pin 14 is VCC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 10, 13 | Outputs (O0, O1, O2, O3) | Active-low NOR outputs; each drives high/low with matched 24 mA sink/source at 3 V |
| 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12 | Inputs (A0/B0, A1/B1, A2/B2, A3/B3) | 5 V-tolerant CMOS inputs; require tie-high/tie-low if unused to prevent floating-induced current |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference for all logic and power domains; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| 14 | VCC | Single supply rail; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 5 mm of pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5 V-tolerant inputs | Enables direct interconnection with 5 V TTL without level translators or voltage dividers |
| Balanced ±24 mA output drive | Supports fan-out of ≥10 LVTTL loads at 3 V while maintaining VOL ≤0.4 V and VOH ≥2.2 V |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad 2-input NOR gate applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC02APWR | Lower VCC min (1.65 V same), but only 5 V-tolerant up to 5.5 V (same); 32 mA drive at 3.3 V (higher than MC74LCX02DR2's 24 mA) | Optimized for 3.3 V-only systems; lacks extended 125 °C rating (max TA = 85 °C) | Prefer when higher drive strength is needed and extended temperature is not required |
| 74LCX02MTCX | Same LCX family, identical electrical specs, but in TSSOP-14 (smaller footprint, higher thermal resistance: 150 °C/W vs. 116 °C/W) | Space-constrained PCBs where SOIC-14 height or thermal mass is prohibitive | Choose for compact layouts; verify thermal derating in high-power-density assemblies |
Compared with SN74LVC02APWR and 74LCX02MTCX, the MC74LCX02DR2 uniquely combines full −40 °C to +125 °C operation, proven 100 mA latchup immunity, and SOIC-14 mechanical robustness - making it the preferred choice for industrial and automotive applications demanding long-term reliability under thermal stress.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for MC74LCX02DR2?
The MC74LCX02DR2 supports a DC supply voltage (VCC) from −0.5 V to +6.5 V per absolute maximum ratings, with recommended operation from 1.65 V to 5.5 V. Operating above 5.5 V risks exceeding safe junction temperature and degrading long-term reliability - always limit VCC to 5.5 V in normal use. The MC74LCX02DR2 maintains full functionality and timing specifications across its entire 1.65–5.5 V range.
Does MC74LCX02DR2 support 5 V logic inputs while powered from 3.3 V?
Yes, the MC74LCX02DR2 features 5 V-tolerant inputs rated to VI = −0.5 V to +6.5 V, allowing direct connection to 5 V TTL outputs even when VCC = 3.3 V. This eliminates external level-shifting components. The MC74LCX02DR2 achieves this via internal input protection circuitry that clamps excess voltage without affecting logic thresholds or increasing ICC - confirmed in the datasheet's VI specification and DC characteristics tables.
What is the propagation delay of MC74LCX02DR2 at 3.3 V supply?
At VCC = 3.0–3.6 V and TA = −40 °C to +125 °C, the MC74LCX02DR2 has a maximum propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) of 5.5 ns. This value is measured under standard AC test conditions with CL = 50 pF and accounts for worst-case process, voltage, and temperature corners. The MC74LCX02DR2 delivers consistent timing performance across its full operating range, supporting reliable synchronization in sub-10 ns digital control loops.
Can unused inputs on MC74LCX02DR2 be left floating?
No - unused inputs on the MC74LCX02DR2 must never be left floating. The datasheet explicitly states "For ICC reasons, DO NOT FLOAT Inputs" and recommends tying each unused input to either GND or VCC. Floating inputs cause increased supply current, potential oscillation, and unpredictable output states due to CMOS input stage instability. This requirement applies to all four NOR gates in the MC74LCX02DR2, regardless of whether their outputs are used.
Is MC74LCX02DR2 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the MC74LCX02DR2 is Pb-free, halogen-free/BFR-free, and fully RoHS compliant, as confirmed in the "Features" section of the official onsemi datasheet. The "G" suffix in the part marking (e.g., MC74LCX02DR2G) denotes the Pb-free package. The SOIC-14 body uses matte tin lead finish and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1, ensuring compatibility with standard lead-free reflow profiles.
