8 ns propagation delay at 5 V, 50 pF
The SN74AC00PWR is a quad 2-input NAND gate from the 74AC family, with each of its four independent gates delivering a maximum propagation delay of 8 ns at 5 V into a 50 pF load. That 8 ns figure sets the timing budget for the critical path — if your downstream flip-flop setup time is 3 ns and the clock skew is 1 ns, you have 4 ns of margin before the data misses the window.
Supply range and output drive
Each output sources or sinks 24 mA — enough to drive a standard LED directly or fan out to four 74AC inputs without buffering. Quiescent current is 2 µA maximum, so the gate's own power draw is negligible in battery-powered or always-on blocks.
14-TSSOP package and board fit
Housed in a 14-TSSOP (4.40 mm wide, 0.173" pitch), the SN74AC00PWR is a surface-mount part that places flat on standard 0.65 mm pitch pads. The 1.2 mm maximum seated height keeps it under low-profile enclosures, and the lead finish is ROHS3 compliant — no bake required before reflow if the MSL is 1 (check the reel label for the specific date code lot).
