Product details

Overview

MC74VHCT00ADT from onsemi is a quad 2-input NAND gate IC in TSSOP-14 package, operating from 3.0 V to 5.5 V, with 5.0 ns typical propagation delay at 5 V, TTL-compatible inputs (V_IL = 0.8 V, V_IH = 2.0 V), and full 5 V CMOS output swing-used for logic-level translation between 3 V and 5 V systems in industrial control and embedded interface circuits.

For engineers reviewing the MC74VHCT00ADT datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical specs, pin-functional mapping, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options for voltage translation and high-noise-immunity digital logic design.

Technical Context

The MC74VHCT00ADT implements four independent 2-input NAND gates using silicon-gate CMOS technology, with three-stage internal circuitry including buffered outputs for enhanced noise immunity and stable switching. Its input structure tolerates up to 7 V regardless of V_CC, enabling safe interfacing between 3.0 V and 5.0 V domains.

It features power-down protection on all inputs and outputs, supports hot insertion, and maintains functional integrity when V_CC = 0 V. Propagation delays are balanced across all gates, and the device meets IEC logic diagram standards with defined truth table behavior (Y = A·B).

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad 2-input NAND gate applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
SN74LVC00APW	Lower V_CC range (1.65–3.6 V); no 7 V input tolerance; 3.5 ns t_PD at 3.3 V	Restricted to single-supply 3.3 V systems; unsuitable for 5 V interfacing or hot-swap	Select when only 3.3 V operation is required and maximum speed at low voltage is critical
74HC00PW	No TTL input compatibility; V_IL/V_IH thresholds tied to V_CC/2; no overvoltage protection	Requires external level-shifting for 3.3 V → 5 V translation; vulnerable to input overvoltage	Choose for cost-sensitive 5 V-only designs where input voltage matching is guaranteed

Compared with SN74LVC00APW and 74HC00PW, the MC74VHCT00ADT uniquely supports mixed-voltage translation, survives V_CC = 0 V conditions, and guarantees TTL-compatible thresholds across its full 3.0–5.5 V range-making it the only option among the three qualified for robust 3 V/5 V boundary interfacing without additional components.

FAQ

What is the maximum input voltage the MC74VHCT00ADT can tolerate?

The MC74VHCT00ADT supports DC input voltages up to 7.0 V on any input pin, regardless of V_CC level. This overvoltage tolerance is enabled by internal protection circuitry and allows safe interfacing with 5 V signals while operating from a 3.3 V supply. The specification is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and reinforced in the Functional Description section of the datasheet.

Does the MC74VHCT00ADT support operation at 3.3 V supply?

Yes, the MC74VHCT00ADT is fully specified for operation from 3.0 V to 5.5 V. At V_CC = 3.3 V, it delivers t_PD = 4.1 ns (typ) with C_L = 15 pF and maintains TTL-compatible input thresholds (V_IL = 0.53 V, V_IH = 1.4 V). All DC and AC parameters in the datasheet include 3.3 V test conditions.

Is the MC74VHCT00ADT pin-compatible with standard 74-series NAND gates?

Yes, the MC74VHCT00ADT is pin- and function-compatible with industry-standard 7400, 74LS00, and 74HC00 devices in the same TSSOP-14 package. Pin assignments match the JEDEC-standard 14-pin dual-in-line layout, including V_CC on pin 14 and GND on pin 7. This compatibility is explicitly stated in the datasheet's "Pin Assignment" and "Ordering Information" sections.

Can the MC74VHCT00ADT be used with V_CC = 0 V?

Yes, the MC74VHCT00ADT features power-down protection that ensures safe operation when V_CC = 0 V. Inputs and outputs remain protected against back-driving, and the device will not be damaged even if input signals are applied during power-off. This capability is documented in the Functional Description and confirmed in the Maximum Ratings table under "Output Diode Current" and "Input Diode Current" limits.

What is the logic function implemented by each gate in the MC74VHCT00ADT?

Each of the four gates in the MC74VHCT00ADT implements the standard 2-input NAND Boolean function: Y = NOT(A AND B). This is verified by the Function Table, Logic Diagram, and IEC Logic Diagram in the datasheet. For example, when A1 (pin 2) and B1 (pin 3) are both HIGH, Y1 (pin 1) goes LOW; all other input combinations yield HIGH at the output.
