Product details
Overview
MC74LCX02DR2G 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 package. It enables level-shifting logic interfacing between 3.3 V systems and legacy 5 V TTL devices in mixed-voltage digital control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MC74LCX02DR2G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include input voltage tolerance (up to 5.5 V), propagation delay (4.2 ns max at 5 V), quiescent current (10 µA), output drive strength (±24 mA @ 3 V), and SOIC-14 thermal resistance (116 °C/W).
Technical Context
The MC74LCX02DR2G implements four independent 2-input NOR gates in a single monolithic CMOS structure with TTL-compatible input thresholds and LVTTL/LVCMOS interoperability. Its 5 V-tolerant input structure uses internal clamping diodes and high-impedance design to safely accept 5 V signals while powered from as low as 1.65 V.
Propagation delay is supply- and temperature-dependent: 4.2 ns max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V and TA = −40°C to +125°C; output skew between gates is ≤1.0 ns under 3.0–3.6 V operation. Input leakage remains ≤±5.0 µA across full VCC and temperature range.
Key Specifications

Use Scenario: Generating hardware-enforced "STOP" command when either motor overcurrent or door-open signal is asserted in infusion pump motor control path. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: NOR gate acting as safety-critical OR-of-NOT function with guaranteed <6 ns delay across −40°C to +125°C. Use Value: 10 µA ICC reduces thermal load in sealed enclosure; RoHS/Pb-free compliance meets IEC 60601-1 material restrictions. | Use Scenario: Consolidating wake-up event signals from multiple ultra-low-power sensors (PIR, vibration, ambient light) into a single microcontroller interrupt line. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad NOR used for asynchronous signal combining and edge-triggered pulse generation via RC differentiation. Use Value: 1.65 V minimum VCC allows operation from coin-cell–supplied LDO; input hysteresis eliminates chatter on noisy sensor outputs. |
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 max VCC (3.6 V); no 5 V input tolerance; 32 mA drive @ 3.3 V | Restricted to 3.3 V-only systems; requires external level shifters for 5 V interface | Select when operating exclusively in 3.3 V domain and higher drive strength is needed |
| 74AHC02PW,118 | Wider VCC range (2–5.5 V); 5 V tolerant; 8 mA drive @ 3.3 V; slower (7.5 ns @ 5 V) | Lower drive capability limits fan-out; suitable for low-noise, low-power signal routing only | Select when EMI reduction and ultra-low dynamic power outweigh speed and drive requirements |
Compared with SN74LVC02APWR and 74AHC02PW,118, the MC74LCX02DR2G uniquely balances 5 V input tolerance, 24 mA drive, and 4.2 ns speed in a single SOIC-14 package - making it optimal for mixed-voltage industrial control where interface flexibility and timing margin are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the MC74LCX02DR2G can safely accept?
The MC74LCX02DR2G supports DC input voltages up to +6.5 V (VI rating), with guaranteed 5 V tolerance - meaning it can be driven directly from standard 5 V TTL outputs without damage or level-shifting circuitry, even when powered from as low as 1.65 V. This specification is validated per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table in the official onsemi datasheet.
Does the MC74LCX02DR2G require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?
Yes - the MC74LCX02DR2G datasheet explicitly states that unused inputs must not be left floating and must be tied to a defined logic level (either VCC or GND) to prevent excessive ICC increase, oscillation, or potential latchup. Floating inputs cause unpredictable current draw and degrade noise immunity; this requirement applies to all four NOR gate inputs (A0/B0 through A3/B3) on the MC74LCX02DR2G.
What is the typical propagation delay of the MC74LCX02DR2G at 3.3 V supply?
At VCC = 3.0–3.6 V and TA = −40°C to +125°C, the MC74LCX02DR2G exhibits a maximum propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) of 5.5 ns, as specified in the AC Electrical Characteristics table. This value represents worst-case delay across temperature and voltage; typical performance is faster but design margins should use the 5.5 ns maximum for timing closure in 3.3 V systems using the MC74LCX02DR2G.
Can the MC74LCX02DR2G be used in automotive applications?
The MC74LCX02DR2G itself is not AEC-Q100 qualified; however, the pin-compatible MC74LCX02DTR2G-Q variant is automotive-qualified and PPAP-capable. For non-safety-critical automotive body electronics operating within −40°C to +125°C, the MC74LCX02DR2G may be used subject to customer qualification - but functional safety systems require the Q-suffix version. Always verify qualification status per orderable part number.
What package type does the MC74LCX02DR2G use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
The MC74LCX02DR2G uses a 14-pin SOIC-14 package (Case 751A) with Pb-free finish, marked with suffix "G" to indicate RoHS and halogen-free compliance. It meets JEDEC moisture sensitivity Level 1, UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, and is rated for reflow soldering per J-STD-020 - confirming full environmental compliance for modern electronics manufacturing using the MC74LCX02DR2G.
