QUAD 2-INPUT NAND GATE (OPEN DRAIN)
The TC74HC03A is a high speed CMOS 2-INPUT NAND GATE fabricated with silicon gate C2MOS technology.
It achieves the high speed operation similar to equivalent LSTTL while maintaining the CMOS low power dissipation.
Pin configuration and function are the same as the TC74HC00A. But the TC74HC03A has, as its outputs, high performance MOS N-channel transistors. (open-drain outputs) This device can, thefore, with a suitable pull-up resistors, be used in wired-AND, LED driver and other application.
All inputs are equipped wth protection circuits against static discharge or transient excess voltage.
