SN74ACT00N datasheet by Texas Instruments

SN74ACT00N Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum operating frequency of the SN74ACT00N?
  The maximum operating frequency of the SN74ACT00N is typically around 100 MHz, but it can vary depending on the specific application and operating conditions.
• Can I use the SN74ACT00N in a 5V system?
  Yes, the SN74ACT00N is designed to operate from a 4.5V to 5.5V power supply, making it suitable for use in 5V systems.
• How do I handle the input and output voltage levels of the SN74ACT00N?
  The SN74ACT00N is a TTL-compatible device, so the input voltage levels should be between 0.8V and 2.4V for a logical '0' and between 2.4V and 5V for a logical '1'. The output voltage levels will be around 0.4V for a logical '0' and around 3.4V for a logical '1'.
• What is the power consumption of the SN74ACT00N?
  The power consumption of the SN74ACT00N depends on the operating frequency and load conditions. Typically, the quiescent current is around 20mA, and the dynamic current is around 10mA/MHz.
• Can I use the SN74ACT00N in a 3.3V system?
  No, the SN74ACT00N is not designed to operate at 3.3V. It requires a minimum supply voltage of 4.5V to function correctly. If you need a 3.3V-compatible quad NAND gate, consider using a different device, such as the 74ACT00 or 74LVC00.
