STMicroelectronics 74HCT02M: Quad 2-Input NOR Gate

The 74HCT02M is a high-speed Si-gate CMOS device from STMicroelectronics that is designed to comply with JEDEC standard no. 7A. It is a robust, reliable component that is part of the 74HCT family, which is known for its compatibility with TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic). The 74HCT02M features four independent 2-input NOR gates, making it a versatile choice for various digital applications.

Key Features

• Logic Type: The device is characterized as a NOR logic gate, which performs the logical NOR operation on two inputs. A high output (1) is only achieved when both inputs are low (0).
• Inputs: The 74HCT02M has four independent channels, each with two inputs, thus providing flexibility in circuit design.
• Output Capability: The device can drive up to 10 LSTTL loads, which is standard for HCT logic ICs, indicating a good drive capability.
• Power Consumption: It has a balanced power consumption, with a typical low power dissipation of 40µA and an excellent speed/power ratio.
• Operating Voltage: The 74HCT02M operates at a recommended voltage of 5V, which is suitable for interfacing with 5V TTL logic levels.
• Packaging: The component is available in a 14-pin SO14 package, which is convenient for surface-mounted technology (SMT).
