Product details

What the CD74HC00E actually is

The CD74HC00E is a quad 2-input NAND gate from Texas Instruments' 74HC high-speed CMOS logic family. It packs four independent NAND gates into a single 14-pin DIP package, each gate accepting two inputs and delivering a standard push-pull output rated for 5.2 mA source and sink. The 74HC family is the CMOS workhorse for 2V to 6V systems, offering the speed of the original 74LS TTL series with a fraction of the power — quiescent current sits at just 2 µA max.

The CD74HC00E comes in a 14-pin plastic DIP (0.300 inch body width, 7.62 mm pitch) for through-hole mounting. That's the classic breadboard-friendly form factor — easy to hand-solder, socket, or use in a prototype. No thermal pad to worry about; the DIP package dissipates through its leads and body, fine for the microwatt power levels this gate consumes.

This part is a stable, long-available choice.

Frequently asked questions

Is CD74HC00E compatible with 5V logic?

Yes. The CD74HC00E operates from 2V to 6V, so it works directly with 5V logic families. The input logic high threshold at 5V supply is around 3.5V (1.5V to 4.2V range), and the output swings rail-to-rail, so it drives 5V CMOS inputs cleanly.

Is CD74HC00E RoHS compliant?

Yes, the CD74HC00E is ROHS3 compliant.

Can CD74HC00E replace a standard 74HC00?

Yes. The CD74HC00E is a standard 74HC00 quad 2-input NAND gate in a 14-pin DIP package. It is functionally identical to any other 74HC00 from any manufacturer — same pinout, same logic, same electrical characteristics within the 74HC family tolerances.

What is the difference between CD74HC00E and SN74HC00N?

Both are 74HC00 quad 2-input NAND gates in 14-pin DIP packages. The CD74HC00E is from Texas Instruments and the SN74HC00N is also from TI (SN prefix). The key difference is the temperature range: the CD74HC00E is rated for -55°C to 125°C (military), while the SN74HC00N is typically rated for -40°C to 85°C (industrial). For most designs they are interchangeable, but the CD74HC00E covers the extended temperature range.
