The SN74ALS233BDW is an integrated circuit (IC) component that falls under the 74ALS series of logic devices produced by Texas Instruments. This IC is a Quad 2-Input NOR Buffer, meaning it consists of four independent digital logic gates, each with two input terminals.
Key Features:
1. Quad NOR Gates: The SN74ALS233BDW contains four separate NOR gates, making it suitable for applications that require multiple gate functions within a single package.
2. TTL-Compatible: This IC is designed with TTL (transistor-transistor logic) compatibility. It accepts TTL input levels and provides TTL output levels, allowing for easy integration with other TTL-based systems.
3. Wide Operating Voltage Range: The operating voltage range for this IC is between 4.75V and 5.25V, making it suitable for standard 5V supply voltages commonly used in digital logic circuits.
4. High-Speed Operation: With a typical propagation delay of 9.5 ns, this IC offers fast switching speed, allowing for efficient operation in high-frequency applications.
5. High Noise Immunity: The SN74ALS233BDW provides a high level of noise immunity due to its Schmitt-trigger inputs. This feature enables the IC to tolerate fluctuations in input voltages without causing false triggering or errors in the output.
6. Output Current Sink: Each gate of this IC can independently sink up to 24 mA of output current
