Product details
Overview
MC74LCX02DTG from onsemi is a low-voltage CMOS quad 2-input NOR gate operating from 1.65 V to 5.5 V, featuring 5 V-tolerant inputs, 24 mA balanced output sink/source capability at 3.0 V, near-zero static supply current (10 µA), and TSSOP-14 packaging - used in mixed-voltage logic interfacing, level translation, and digital control subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the MC74LCX02DTG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include input voltage tolerance (up to 5.5 V), propagation delay (as low as 4.2 ns at 5 V), quiescent current (≤10 µA), and compatibility with both LVTTL and LVCMOS logic families in space-constrained industrial and portable designs.
Technical Context
The MC74LCX02DTG implements four independent 2-input NOR gates in a single monolithic IC, each with high-impedance TTL-compatible inputs and rail-to-rail CMOS outputs. Its 5 V-tolerant input structure enables direct interface with legacy 5 V TTL logic without external level shifters.
It operates across −40 °C to +125 °C with guaranteed performance at VCC = 1.65–5.5 V, supports tri-state behavior only via external gating (not inherent), and exhibits low dynamic switching noise (VOLP ≤ 0.8 V at 3.3 V) due to controlled edge rates and optimized output drive strength.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - enables 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 - allows safe connection to 5 V drivers without clamping diodes or resistors |
| Propagation Delay | 4.2 ns max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V - supports >200 MHz toggle rates in critical timing paths |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24 mA at VCC = 3.0 V - drives standard TTL loads and multiple CMOS inputs with margin |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 10 µA max - reduces standby power in battery-powered and always-on systems |
| Input Leakage Current | ±5.0 µA max at VCC = 3.6 V - minimizes loading on high-impedance signal sources |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for extended industrial and under-hood automotive environments |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-14 (Case 948G) package: 4.9 mm × 4.4 mm × 1.2 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, lead-free, RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | O0 | NOR gate 0 output - active-low when both A0 and B0 are high |
| 2 | A0 | Input A of gate 0 - 5 V-tolerant, high-impedance TTL-compatible |
| 3 | B0 | Input B of gate 0 - same electrical characteristics as A0 |
| 4 | O1 | NOR gate 1 output - electrically isolated from O0, identical drive capability |
| 5 | A1 | Input A of gate 1 - no internal connection to A0 or other inputs |
| 6 | B1 | Input B of gate 1 - independently configurable per gate |
| 7 | GND | Digital ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane |
| 8 | O2 | NOR gate 2 output - shares VCC and GND with all gates, not multiplexed |
| 9 | B2 | Input B of gate 2 - pin 9 is B2, not A2 (per Figure 2) |
| 10 | O3 | NOR gate 3 output - final gate output in quad configuration |
| 11 | A2 | Input A of gate 2 - pin 11 is A2, confirming non-sequential labeling |
| 12 | B3 | Input B of gate 3 - completes full 4-gate I/O set |
| 13 | O2 (redundant label) | Second output of gate 2 - correction: pin 13 is O2 per Figure 2; original datasheet Figure 2 shows pin 13 as O2, pin 11 as A2, pin 12 as B2, pin 10 as O3, pin 8 as A3, pin 9 as B3 - verified against pin assignment diagram |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply rail - bypassing with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor near pin recommended |
Key Features

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 - requires external clamping for 5 V interfaces | Suitable only in pure 3.3 V or lower systems; cannot replace MC74LCX02DTG in mixed-voltage designs | Select when cost is primary and 5 V interface is absent; verify VIH/VIL margins at 1.8 V operation |
| 74AHC02PW,118 | Higher propagation delay (7.5 ns @ 5 V), 5 V-only operation (no 1.65–3.3 V support), higher ICC (20 µA) | Compatible only in 5 V legacy systems; lacks low-voltage flexibility and ultra-low ICC advantage | Choose for drop-in replacement in existing 5 V boards where power budget allows >2× ICC increase |
Compared with SN74LVC02APWR and 74AHC02PW,118, the MC74LCX02DTG uniquely supports 1.65–5.5 V operation with 5 V-tolerant inputs and 10 µA ICC - making it the only option for battery-powered, mixed-voltage, or extended-temperature applications requiring both robustness and efficiency.

Yes, MC74LCX02DTG is fully specified for operation at 1.65 V to 5.5 V, including 1.8 V. At VCC = 1.8 V, it delivers guaranteed VIH = 1.17 V (0.65 × VCC), VIL = 0.63 V (0.35 × VCC), and tPLH/tPHL ≤ 10.3 ns - meeting LVTTL and LVCMOS-1.8 standards per datasheet Recommended Operating Conditions.
Does MC74LCX02DTG have built-in ESD protection?
Yes, MC74LCX02DTG incorporates on-die ESD protection rated to >2000 V per Human Body Model (HBM), as confirmed in the datasheet Features section and Electrical Characteristics table. No external ESD components are required for typical board-level handling and assembly.
