The MC74ACT00NG is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the ACT00 series of logic gates. It consists of four 2-input NAND gates. This IC is designed to provide high-speed performance with low power consumption.
Key features of the MC74ACT00NG include:
1. Quad 2-input NAND gates: The IC contains four separate NAND gates, each with two inputs and one output. These NAND gates perform the logical NAND function, where the output is only low (zero) if both inputs are high (one).
2. Advanced CMOS Technology (ACT): The ACT technology used in this IC offers high-speed operation combined with low power consumption. It allows the IC to maintain performance while minimizing heat generation and power requirements.
3. Wide operating voltage range: The MC74ACT00NG can operate within a voltage range of 2V to 6V, providing flexibility in various electronic circuit designs. This wide voltage range ensures compatibility with different power supplies and enables use in a wide range of applications.
4. Schmitt Trigger Inputs: The inputs of the NAND gates have Schmitt trigger characteristics. This feature helps to provide hysteresis in the input signals, allowing for more robust and noise-tolerant operation. It helps to prevent false triggering caused by noisy or weak input signals.
5. High-Speed Propagation Delay: The MC74ACT00NG offers a fast propagation delay of only a few nanoseconds
