CD74ACT02M96 – TEXAS INSTRUMENTS

The CD74ACT02M96 is a quad 2-input NAND gate integrated circuit from Texas Instruments, fabricated using advanced CMOS technology. It operates from a wide voltage range of 2V to 6V, offering significant design flexibility across various power supply configurations. This device exhibits low power consumption, typically drawing less than 4µA per gate in shutdown mode, making it suitable for battery-powered applications. The propagation delay is a maximum of 4.7ns at 5V, ensuring relatively fast switching speeds. Packaged in a space-saving 14-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) surface mount package, it’s ideal for high-density PCB designs._x000D_

This specific part number, denoted by the ‘M96’ suffix, indicates a commercial grade device with a specified operating temperature range. The CD74ACT02M96 offers a robust solution for digital logic applications requiring multiple NAND gates, such as simple combinational logic circuits, counters, decoders, and basic arithmetic logic units (ALUs). Its high noise immunity and low power consumption make it advantageous in environments with fluctuating power supplies or where power efficiency is critical. The 5V-tolerant inputs allow for easy integration with legacy TTL circuitry. However, designers should note its relatively low output current drive capability compared to some higher-power alternatives.
