The IC component NC7SZ02P5X is a single, dual-input NOR gate with open-drain output, manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor. It is part of the NC7SZ series, which includes a range of single-gate logic chips designed for low-voltage applications.
Key features of the NC7SZ02P5X include:
1. Compact size: The IC is housed in a SOT-353 package, which is a small-outline transistor package with only three pins. This compact design makes it suitable for space-constrained applications.
2. Low voltage operation: The NC7SZ02P5X is designed to operate at a low voltage range of 1.65V to 5.5V. This makes it compatible with various low-power applications and battery-operated devices.
3. Dual-input NOR gate: The IC contains two independent NOR gates, which allow logical NOR operations on two input signals. Each gate has two inputs, A and B, and an open-drain output, allowing it to be easily connected to other devices.
4. Open-drain output: The open-drain output configuration means that the output terminal can only pull the signal to the ground (logic low) but cannot actively drive it high (logic high). This is useful in applications where multiple devices share a common bus and need to communicate by "pulling down" the signal line when required
