Quad 2-input NAND in the 74HC family
The SN74HC00DT is a quad 2-input NAND gate from TI's 74HC series, packing four independent gates into a 14-SOIC package. The 2V to 6V supply range lets it sit on either a 3.3V or 5V rail without a separate level shifter — a practical choice for mixed-voltage boards.
The 2 µA quiescent current means it adds negligible draw to the supply budget even when all four gates are idle. Propagation delay is 15 ns at 6V with a 50 pF load, fast enough for general-purpose logic gating and control sequencing at moderate clock rates.
