Quad 2-input NOR gate for 5V TTL logic – what you need to know
The SN74LS02NS: Quad 2-input NOR gate from the 74LS series. Four independent gates in one package, each with two inputs. Supply range 4.75 V to 5.25 V, operating temperature 0°C to 70°C. Propagation delay 15 ns at 5 V with 15 pF load. Output drive 400 µA source, 16 mA sink.
The SN74F27NSR (74F series) has 5 ns at 5 V, 50 pF.
Output drive – 400 µA source, 16 mA sink
The 16 mA sink capability is typical for 74LS and enough to drive a standard TTL input or a low-current LED through a series resistor. The 400 µA source is weaker – do not expect to drive a relay coil or a high-impedance load directly. If you need open-collector outputs for wired-OR or higher sink current (24 mA), the SN74ALS38BNSR (quad 2-input NAND, open collector) is a functional alternative, though it is a NAND, not a NOR.
