Product details
Overview
SN74HCS02PWR from Texas Instruments is a quadruple 2-input NOR gate IC with Schmitt-trigger inputs, performing Y = A + B logic in positive logic. It operates across 2V–6V supply, delivers ±7.8mA output drive at 6V, features 100nA typical ICC, and supports –40°C to +125°C ambient operation - used in tamper-detect circuits and S-R latch implementations.
For engineers reviewing the SN74HCS02PWR datasheet, SN74HCS02PWR pinout, SN74HCS02PWR application, or SN74HCS02PWR equivalent, key selection criteria include Schmitt-trigger noise immunity, wide VCC range compatibility, low static current, TSSOP-14 package constraints, and Boolean NOR functionality for level-sensitive control logic.
Technical Context
This device integrates four independent CMOS NOR gates with balanced push-pull outputs and hysteresis-enabled Schmitt-trigger inputs. Each gate accepts slow or noisy input transitions without oscillation due to ΔVT ≥ 0.55V (at 2V), while maintaining rail-to-rail VOH/VOL performance across its full operating voltage range.
The architecture supports direct interfacing with mixed-voltage systems: VIH/VIL thresholds scale with VCC (e.g., VT+ = 3.11V min at 6V), and output drive remains stable at ±7.8mA under 6V load - enabling reliable signal conditioning and latching in industrial sensor interfaces and security monitoring subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Quadruple 2-input NOR (Y = A + B) |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2V to 6V - enables direct interface with 3.3V and 5V logic domains without level shifters |
| Input Hysteresis (ΔVT) | Min 0.55V at 2V - rejects noise up to 550mV peak-to-peak on slow-rising inputs |
| Output Drive | ±7.8mA at 6V - sufficient to directly drive LEDs or small logic loads without external buffers |
| Supply Current (ICC) | Typical 100nA at 6V - supports ultra-low-power battery-backed tamper detection |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial control environments |
| Propagation Delay | 6ns typical at 6V - ensures sub-10ns timing margins for synchronous latch control paths |
Pinout & Package
PW package is a 14-pin TSSOP (5.00mm × 6.4mm body with pins), surface-mount, lead-free, RoHS-compliant, MSL Level 2a per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B, 4A, 4B | Inputs | Eight independent gate inputs - each pair drives one NOR function; all feature Schmitt-trigger hysteresis |
| 1Y, 2Y, 3Y, 4Y | Outputs | Four buffered NOR outputs - CMOS push-pull, capable of sourcing/sinking 7.8mA at 6V |
| VCC (Pin 14) | Power Supply | Positive supply rail - must be bypassed with 0.1µF capacitor near pin for stable switching |
| GND (Pin 7) | Ground Reference | Common return path - connects to system ground plane; unused outputs may float |
| All Unused Inputs | Termination Point | Must be tied to VCC or GND - floating inputs cause undefined logic states and increased ICC |
Key Features

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: SN74HCS02PWR functions as unidirectional level translator - leverages VCC-tolerant inputs and rail-swing outputs for voltage domain bridging. Use Value: Avoids dedicated level-shifter ICs - reduces cost and board space while maintaining timing integrity in control signal paths. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NOR gate applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HCS02DR | SOIC-14 package (8.65mm × 6mm); higher RθJA (133.6°C/W) vs. PW's 151.7°C/W | Better suited for through-hole prototyping or high-reliability industrial PCBs with larger pad spacing | Select when manual soldering, thermal mass tolerance, or legacy footprint compatibility is required |
| SN74LVC02APWR | Lower VCC range (1.65V–5.5V); no Schmitt inputs; 24mA drive at 3.3V; faster tpd (3.9ns typ) | Optimized for high-speed 3.3V systems but lacks noise immunity for mechanical switch inputs | Choose for speed-critical digital logic where input signals are already clean and well-controlled |
Compared with SN74HCS02DR and SN74LVC02APWR, the SN74HCS02PWR uniquely combines Schmitt-trigger noise rejection, ultra-low ICC, and TSSOP-14 compactness - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-powered tamper detection where signal integrity trumps raw speed.

FAQ
What is the maximum input transition rate supported by SN74HCS02PWR?
The SN74HCS02PWR has no specified minimum input transition rate because its Schmitt-trigger inputs tolerate arbitrarily slow edges. This allows direct connection to mechanical switches, thermistors, or RC-debounced signals without risk of metastability or oscillation - a key advantage over standard CMOS gates. The SN74HCS02PWR maintains correct logic evaluation even with rise/fall times exceeding milliseconds.
Can SN74HCS02PWR drive an LED directly?
Yes, SN74HCS02PWR can drive a standard 2mA LED directly when configured as an active-low sink: connect LED anode to VCC and cathode to an output pin (e.g., 1Y), with current limited by the device's VOL specification (0.22V max at 7.8mA, 6V). At 6V supply, a 330Ω series resistor yields ~11mA - within SN74HCS02PWR's ±7.8mA rating. For higher currents or multiple LEDs, external drivers are recommended.
What happens if an input pin on SN74HCS02PWR is left floating?
Leaving any input pin floating on SN74HCS02PWR causes undefined logic states, increased supply current (ICC), and potential device malfunction due to intermediate voltages triggering both NMOS and PMOS transistors simultaneously. TI explicitly requires all unused inputs to be tied to VCC or GND - either directly or via pull-up/pull-down resistors (e.g., 10kΩ). Floating inputs violate the Recommended Operating Conditions and compromise SN74HCS02PWR reliability.
Does SN74HCS02PWR support mixed-voltage operation between inputs and VCC?
No, SN74HCS02PWR does not support mixed-voltage operation: all inputs must remain within 0V to VCC, per the Recommended Operating Conditions. Input voltage exceeding VCC (even briefly) risks forward-biasing internal clamp diodes and violating Absolute Maximum Ratings. For interfacing with higher-voltage signals, external resistive dividers or dedicated level translators are required - SN74HCS02PWR itself must operate with VI ≤ VCC and VI ≥ 0V.
How does the Schmitt-trigger hysteresis of SN74HCS02PWR improve noise immunity?
SN74HCS02PWR's Schmitt-trigger inputs provide voltage hysteresis (ΔVT ≥ 0.55V at 2V), meaning the threshold for detecting a HIGH (VT+) is significantly higher than that for detecting a LOW (VT−). This creates a "dead band" that prevents multiple toggles when noise crosses a single threshold - essential for reliable operation with slow-switching sensors or long PCB traces. The SN74HCS02PWR thus rejects noise spikes up to ΔVT peak-to-peak amplitude without additional filtering.
