Triple 3-input NOR gate in 14-SOIC — 74HC logic family
It integrates three independent NOR gates, each with three inputs, in a compact 14-SOIC surface-mount package. The 2 V to 6 V supply range makes it compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V logic rails, and the -40°C to 85°C operating temperature covers industrial environments. Quiescent current maxes at 2 µA, suiting battery-powered or always-on glue logic.
At 6 V supply and 50 pF load, the maximum propagation delay is 15 ns. For a 5 V rail, the delay will be slightly higher — budget around 20 ns typical. This is fast enough for most board-level decode, enable, and gating functions running below 20 MHz. If your clock or data path needs tighter than 10 ns, step to the 74LVC or 74AUC families. The 5.2 mA output drive (both high and low) is adequate for driving a few CMOS inputs or a single LED; it won't drive a relay coil or a long backplane trace.
