Product details
Overview
SN74LS02DG4 from Texas Instruments is a quad 2-input NOR gate logic IC in SOIC-14 package, operating over 0°C to 70°C, with typical propagation delay of 15 ns at VCC = 5 V and fan-out capability of 20 LS-TTL loads. It serves as a fundamental combinational logic element in digital control circuits, bus arbitration, and enable/disable signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LS02DG4 datasheet, SN74LS02DG4 pinout, SN74LS02DG4 application, or SN74LS02DG4 equivalent, key selection considerations include its TTL-compatible input thresholds, guaranteed noise margin of 0.4 V (min), output drive strength (IOH = –0.4 mA / IOL = 8 mA), and compatibility with legacy 74LS-family PCB layouts requiring no redesign.
Technical Context
The SN74LS02DG4 implements four independent 2-input NOR gates using bipolar Schottky transistor technology, delivering improved speed-power trade-offs versus standard TTL. Each gate features active-low open-collector compatible outputs with internal clamp diodes for transient suppression.
It adheres to JEDEC MS-012 variation AB mechanical standards for SOIC packages and supports standard 5-V single-supply operation without biasing requirements. Input clamping ensures robustness against undershoot/overshoot within ±0.5 V beyond supply rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Family | 74LS (Low-power Schottky TTL) - enables direct drop-in replacement for legacy 74LS designs with verified timing and voltage compatibility. |
| Propagation Delay | 15 ns (max) at VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF - ensures predictable timing in synchronous control paths up to ~30 MHz clock domains. |
| Output Drive | IOL = 8 mA (min), IOH = –0.4 mA (min) - sufficient to directly drive multiple LS-TTL inputs or small LEDs without external buffers. |
| Input Thresholds | VIL = 0.8 V (max), VIH = 2.0 V (min) - provides 0.4 V noise margin under worst-case conditions, supporting reliable operation in noisy industrial environments. |
| Supply Voltage | VCC = 4.75 V to 5.25 V - matches standard 5-V regulated rail tolerances and eliminates need for additional voltage regulation. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - qualified for commercial-grade embedded systems including instrumentation, office equipment, and peripheral controllers. |
Pinout & Package
SN74LS02DG4 uses a 14-pin SOIC (D) package per JEDEC MS-012AB, with 1.27 mm pitch, 8.75 mm body width, and 1.75 mm max height. Pin 1 is located at the top-left corner with notch or beveled edge marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, 12 | Input (A/B per gate) | Four independent NOR gates: Gate 1 (pins 1,2→3), Gate 2 (pins 4,5→6), Gate 3 (pins 8,9→10), Gate 4 (pins 11,12→13). |
| 3, 6, 10, 13 | Output (Y per gate) | Active-low CMOS/TTL-compatible outputs; each capable of sinking 8 mA while maintaining VO L ≤ 0.5 V. |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference for all logic and output stages; requires low-impedance connection to minimize ground bounce in multi-gate switching. |
| 14 | VCC | +5 V supply input; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) must be placed within 5 mm of this pin for stable high-speed operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad 2-input NOR function | Integrates four independent logic gates in one SOIC-14 package, reducing board space and interconnect complexity versus discrete gate solutions. |
| 74LS-compatible electrical specs | Guaranteed VIL/VIH, VOL/VOH, and propagation delay match industry-standard 74LS02 timing and interface behavior across temperature and voltage. |
| Internal input clamping diodes | Protects inputs from –0.5 V to VCC + 0.5 V transients, eliminating need for external ESD protection in moderate-noise applications. |
| SOIC packaging with RoHS compliance | Lead-free NiPdAu finish, Level-1 moisture sensitivity, and tape-and-reel delivery (2500 pcs/reel) support automated SMT assembly and environmental compliance. |
Applications
| Industrial Control Logic | Computer Peripheral Interface |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NOR gate logic applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LS02N | Same logic function and DC specs, but in PDIP-14 package with 25-piece tube packaging and 0°C–70°C rating. | Preferred for through-hole prototyping, manual rework, or legacy wave-soldered assemblies where SOIC reflow is unavailable. | Select SN74LS02N when hand-soldering, breadboarding, or maintaining existing DIP-based designs; SN74LS02DG4 is optimal for high-volume SMT production. |
| SN74LS260N | Dual 5-input NOR gate (not quad 2-input); higher input count per package but incompatible pinout and logic structure. | Suitable only where system logic requires wide-input NOR functions (e.g., priority encoder enable), not gate-level substitution. | Choose SN74LS260N only if redesigning logic equations to consolidate functions; not a functional or pin-compatible replacement for SN74LS02DG4. |
Compared with SN74LS02N, SN74LS02DG4 offers surface-mount compatibility and tighter thermal resistance for dense layouts, while SN74LS260N serves distinct multi-input logic needs-neither replaces SN74LS02DG4 without circuit redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SN74LS02DG4 in toggle mode?
The SN74LS02DG4 is a combinational logic device-not a sequential circuit-so it has no inherent clock frequency limit. Its usable toggle rate depends on propagation delay (15 ns max) and system-level factors like load capacitance and trace inductance. In practice, reliable operation is confirmed up to 30 MHz for simple gate-to-gate feedback loops with CL ≤ 15 pF, as validated in TI's 74LS characterization reports.
Can SN74LS02DG4 drive LED indicators directly?
Yes, SN74LS02DG4 can directly drive standard 5-mm LEDs with series resistors. With IOL = 8 mA (min) and VOL ≤ 0.5 V, a 330 Ω resistor yields ~12 mA sink current at 5 V supply-within both LED and SN74LS02DG4 safe operating limits. Ensure thermal derating if multiple outputs switch simultaneously in ambient >50°C.
Is SN74LS02DG4 pin-compatible with SN74LS02DR?
Yes, SN74LS02DG4 and SN74LS02DR share identical SOIC-14 (D) package dimensions, pinout, and electrical specifications. Both are RoHS-compliant, Level-1 MSL-rated, and specified for 0°C to 70°C operation. The G4 suffix denotes TI's green packaging standard (halogen-free, matte tin lead finish), while DR indicates tape-and-reel packaging-functionally interchangeable in layout and schematic.
Does SN74LS02DG4 require external pull-up resistors on inputs?
No, SN74LS02DG4 inputs are TTL-compatible and internally biased; unused inputs must be tied to VCC or GND to prevent floating states. Pull-up resistors are unnecessary and may degrade noise margin. TI recommends hard-wiring spare inputs to VCC (for NOR logic high-enable) or GND (to disable gate) per datasheet Section 7.2.
What is the recommended PCB layout practice for SN74LS02DG4 power integrity?
Place a 0.1 µF X7R ceramic capacitor between VCC (pin 14) and GND (pin 7) with trace length <5 mm. Use solid ground plane beneath the IC, avoid splits under the package, and route VCC/GND traces ≥ 0.3 mm wide. Follow TI's D0014A land pattern (1.27 mm pitch, 0.6 mm pad width) to ensure solder joint reliability and thermal dissipation.
