The 74S10DC is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the TTL (transistor-transistor logic) family of digital logic gates. It is a triple 3-input positive-NAND gate that combines three separate NAND gates into a single package. Here are some key features of the 74S10DC:
1. Logic gates: The 74S10DC consists of three 3-input NAND gates, each capable of performing digital logic operations. NAND gates are versatile and commonly used building blocks in digital electronics.
2. Input and output: The IC has three inputs (A, B, C) per NAND gate, which accept binary signals (0 or 1). It provides corresponding outputs (Y) for each gate, indicating the logical result of the NAND operation. The inputs and outputs are compatible with standard TTL logic levels.
3. High speed: The 74S10DC is known for its fast operation, offering reliable and rapid response times. It operates at a typical propagation delay of approximately 8 nanoseconds, facilitating high-speed digital applications.
4. Voltage compatibility: The IC operates within a specified voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V DC. This makes it suitable for integration into various digital systems that use similar power supply levels.
5. Compact package: The 74S10DC is commonly available in a 14-pin dual in-line package (DIP)
