Switching speed and drive
The SN74AHCT00N: Maximum propagation delay is 7.9ns at 5V with a 50pF load, which sets the timing budget for glitch-free data paths in clocked systems. The symmetrical 8mA source and sink output current drives standard logic inputs and lightly loaded buses without external buffers.
Package and temperature grade
Housed in a 14-pin PDIP (0.300" width, 7.62mm body), the through-hole package suits prototyping, breadboard work, and legacy board repairs where a soldered DIP is preferred over a surface-mount part.
Quiescent current and compliance
Quiescent current draws a maximum of 2 µA, keeping the static power contribution negligible in battery-backed or always-on logic sections.
