Product details
Overview
MC74LCX02M from ON Semiconductor is a low-voltage CMOS quad 2-input NOR gate operating from 2.3 V to 3.6 V supply, featuring 5 V–tolerant inputs (up to 5.5 V), 24 mA balanced output sink/source drive, near-zero static supply current (10 µA), and TTL/LVCMOS/LVTTL compatibility - used in level-shifting logic interfaces between 3.3 V and 5 V systems.
For engineers reviewing the MC74LCX02M datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include input voltage tolerance, output drive strength at 2.7 V/3.3 V, propagation delay (≤6.0 ns), latchup immunity (>500 mA), and SOIC-14 package compatibility with legacy 74-series footprints.
Technical Context
The MC74LCX02M implements four independent NOR gates in a single monolithic CMOS structure, each with dual inputs (An, Bn) and one output (On). Its 5 V–tolerant input structure enables direct interfacing with legacy 5 V TTL outputs without external level shifters.
It operates within a recommended VCC range of 2.7 V to 3.6 V for full-speed logic operation, delivering guaranteed tPLH/tPHL ≤ 6.0 ns at VCC = 2.7 V and CL = 50 pF, while maintaining VIH ≥ 2.0 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V under those conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.3 V to 3.6 V - supports mixed-voltage system power domains including 2.5 V and 3.3 V rails |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | –0.5 V to +5.5 V - allows safe connection to 5 V TTL outputs without clamping diodes or resistors |
| Output Drive | ±24 mA at VCC = 3.0–3.6 V - drives standard TTL loads and multiple LVTTL inputs directly |
| Quiescent ICC | 10 µA max - reduces standby power in battery-backed or low-power embedded control logic |
| Propagation Delay | ≤6.0 ns at VCC = 2.7 V, CL = 50 pF - enables use in sub-100 MHz synchronous logic paths |
| Latchup Immunity | >500 mA - meets JEDEC JESD78 Class II requirements for robustness in industrial environments |
| ESD Rating | HBM >2000 V, MM >200 V - qualifies for handling in standard assembly lines without special ESD controls |
Pinout & Package
MC74LCX02M is housed in a 14-pin plastic SOIC (EIAJ) package (Case 965), with 1.27 mm pitch, 8.65 mm × 3.91 mm body size, and gull-wing leads suitable for reflow soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 10, 13 | Outputs (O0–O3) | Active-low NOR outputs; each capable of sourcing/sinking ±24 mA at 3.3 V |
| 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12 | Inputs (A0–B3) | 5 V–tolerant CMOS inputs; accept 0–5.5 V signals while powered from 2.3–3.6 V |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference for all logic and I/O; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply rail; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) required within 5 mm of pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5 V–tolerant inputs | Enables seamless interface with legacy 5 V TTL outputs without external level translators |
| 24 mA balanced output drive | Drives up to 10 LVTTL loads or 2 standard TTL inputs at 3.3 V without buffering |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC02APW | 3.3 V only (1.65–3.6 V), no 5 V–tolerant inputs (VI max = VCC + 0.5 V) | Requires external level shifters when interfacing with 5 V sources | Select when system is fully 3.3 V and cost is primary; avoid if 5 V legacy interface needed |
| 74LCX02M | Same die, identical specs - ON Semiconductor rebranded part number for same device | No functional difference; identical pinout, timing, and electrical behavior | Valid drop-in alternative with identical sourcing and qualification status |
Compared with SN74LVC02APW and 74LCX02M, the MC74LCX02M uniquely supports direct 5 V input interfacing without redesign, while offering identical SOIC-14 packaging and 24 mA drive - making it optimal for brownfield upgrades where legacy signal levels persist.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the MC74LCX02M can safely accept?
The MC74LCX02M supports DC input voltages from –0.5 V to +5.5 V, enabling direct connection to 5 V TTL outputs without damage or external protection circuitry. This 5 V–tolerance is maintained regardless of VCC level (2.3–3.6 V), and is verified per absolute maximum ratings in the official ON Semiconductor datasheet (Publication Order Number: MC74LCX02/D).
Does the MC74LCX02M support operation at 2.5 V supply?
Yes, the MC74LCX02M is fully specified for operation from 2.3 V to 3.6 V, including 2.5 V nominal rails. At VCC = 2.5 V, it maintains valid VIH/VIL thresholds (tested per recommended conditions), delivers ≥12 mA output drive, and achieves typical propagation delay <7.5 ns - making it suitable for 2.5 V system domains with appropriate derating.
Is the MC74LCX02M pin-compatible with standard 74-series NOR gates?
Yes, the MC74LCX02M uses a standard 14-pin SOIC package with identical pinout to 74HC02, 74HCT02, and 74LVX02. Pin 1 is O0, pins 2–3 are A0/B0, pin 4 is O1, etc., matching industry-standard quad 2-input NOR gate layouts - enabling drop-in replacement in existing designs without PCB modification.
What is the output drive capability of the MC74LCX02M at 3.3 V?
At VCC = 3.3 V, the MC74LCX02M provides ±24 mA output drive (IOL = +24 mA, IOH = –24 mA) under DC conditions, meeting or exceeding standard TTL fan-out requirements. This allows direct driving of up to two 74LS inputs or ten LVTTL loads while maintaining VOL ≤ 0.55 V and VOH ≥ 2.2 V.
How does the MC74LCX02M handle ESD and latchup events?
The MC74LCX02M features >2000 V HBM and >200 V MM ESD ratings, plus latchup immunity exceeding 500 mA per JEDEC JESD78. These characteristics are process-hardened and tested - ensuring robustness in automated assembly, field service, and electrically noisy industrial environments where the MC74LCX02M is deployed.
