Product details
Overview
MC74VHC02DR2 from onsemi is a high-speed CMOS quad 2-input NOR gate in SOIC-14 package, operating from 2.0 V to 5.5 V, with 3.6 ns typical propagation delay at 5.0 V and full 5.0 V CMOS output swing. It provides level translation between 3.3 V and 5.0 V systems and delivers high noise immunity (28% VCC) for industrial control logic interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the MC74VHC02DR2 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified functional identity, SOIC-14 pin mapping, DC/AC electrical specs, noise performance, and validated alternative options for logic-level translation and discrete gate replacement in mixed-voltage digital systems.
Technical Context
The MC74VHC02DR2 implements four independent NOR gates using silicon-gate CMOS technology, achieving TTL-compatible speed while maintaining CMOS power efficiency. Its three-stage internal architecture includes a buffer output stage that enhances noise immunity and stabilizes output transitions.
Input structures tolerate up to 5.5 V, enabling safe interfacing of 5 V systems to lower-voltage logic domains. The device supports operation across −55°C to +125°C and exhibits latchup immunity exceeding 100 mA per JEDEC JESD78 Class II.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.0 V to 5.5 V - enables use in both 3.3 V and 5.0 V systems without level shifters |
| tPLH/tPHL (Typ) | 3.6 ns at VCC = 5.0 V, CL = 15 pF - ensures fast signal routing in timing-critical combinatorial logic |
| VIH/VIL Thresholds | VIH = 0.7×VCC, VIL = 0.3×VCC - provides robust noise margin of 28% VCC for reliable switching |
| IOH/IOL Drive | ±4 mA at VCC = 3.0–4.5 V - sufficient to drive standard CMOS loads and small fanouts |
| Input Leakage | ±0.1 µA max at TA = 25°C - minimizes static current draw in battery-sensitive applications |
| Power Dissipation | ICC ≤ 2.0 µA max at TA = 25°C - ultra-low quiescent consumption for always-on logic stages |
| Cin | ≤10 pF - low input capacitance preserves signal integrity and reduces loading on driving stages |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad NOR gate applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC74VHC02DTR2G | TSSOP-14 package (4.4 mm × 5.0 mm); identical electrical specs and pinout | Preferred for space-constrained PCBs; requires finer-pitch reflow profile | Select when board area is limited and thermal dissipation allows TSSOP footprint |
| SN74LVC02APWR | Lower VCC min (1.65 V); higher drive (±24 mA); different input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V @ VCC = 3.3 V) | Better suited for 1.8 V/3.3 V-only systems; not 5.5 V input-tolerant | Choose only if operating exclusively below 3.6 V and requiring stronger drive capability |
Compared with MC74VHC02DTR2G, the MC74VHC02DR2 offers identical logic functionality and timing but in a more robust SOIC package with wider creepage/clearance; versus SN74LVC02APWR, it trades lower-voltage flexibility for superior 5 V system interoperability and input overvoltage resilience.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the MC74VHC02DR2?
The MC74VHC02DR2 is rated for operation from −55°C to +125°C, making it suitable for extended-temperature industrial and automotive under-hood applications. This specification is confirmed in the Recommended Operating Conditions table of the official onsemi datasheet (Rev. 8, November 2024), and applies across the full 2.0 V to 5.5 V supply range.
Does the MC74VHC02DR2 support 5 V input tolerance when powered from 3.3 V?
Yes, the MC74VHC02DR2 inputs tolerate voltages up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC level - including when VCC = 3.3 V. This is explicitly stated in the datasheet's "Input Structures" section and verified by the Absolute Maximum Ratings table (Vin = −0.5 V to +6.5 V). This enables safe interfacing with 5 V buses in mixed-voltage systems.
Is the MC74VHC02DR2 pin-compatible with standard 74-series logic packages?
Yes, the MC74VHC02DR2 uses the industry-standard SOIC-14 footprint (case 751A) and matches the pinout of legacy 74HC02 and 74LS02 devices. Pin assignments for inputs (A1–B4), outputs (Y1–Y4), VCC, and GND are identical - enabling drop-in replacement in existing designs without PCB modification.
What is the typical propagation delay of the MC74VHC02DR2 at 3.3 V supply?
At VCC = 3.3 V and CL = 15 pF, the MC74VHC02DR2 exhibits a typical propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) of 5.6 ns, as specified in the AC Electrical Characteristics table. This value is measured under standard test conditions and remains consistent across all four gates within the same device.
Does the MC74VHC02DR2 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?
Yes, unused inputs on the MC74VHC02DR2 must be tied to a valid logic level - either VCC or GND - as stated in Note 5 of the Recommended Operating Conditions table. Leaving inputs floating can cause increased ICC, oscillation, or excessive power consumption due to undefined input states.
