The 74AC00SC is a widely used quad 2-input NAND gate integrated circuit (IC) component. It is part of the 74AC family, which stands for "Advanced CMOS." This particular IC has several key features that make it popular in digital logic circuits.
One of the primary features of the 74AC00SC is its quad 2-input NAND gate design. It consists of four separate NAND gates, each with two inputs and one output. This means the IC can perform four independent NAND logic operations simultaneously.
The IC operates at a supply voltage of 2 to 6 volts, making it compatible with a wide range of digital systems. It is also part of the AC logic family, which means it benefits from a low power consumption characteristic, making it suitable for portable and battery-powered devices.
The 74AC00SC has high-speed operation, with a typical propagation delay of just 4.5 nanoseconds. This makes it suitable for high-frequency applications
