Detailed Reference

  1. Temperature Range: Go to the Top
    N: Indicates commercial temperature range for the FAST product family.
    I: Indicates industrial temperature range for the FAST product family.
  1. Temperature Range: Go to the Top
    74: Indicates the device is either commercial or industrial grade.
    Note: No designator is used for HEF4000 devices.
  1. Family: Go to the Top
    For a complete list of the available logic product families, please visit our Products section.
  1. TTL Voltage Level: Go to the Top
    T: Indicates TTL switching levels on HC and AHC devices. When no designator is present on HC and AHC devices, this indicates CMOS switching levels.
    Note: For ABT, ALVC, ALVT, FAST, LV, LVC, LVT, MB, and PDI families, TTL switching levels are standard. Consequently, no TTL designator is used for these families.
  1. Bus Hold: Go to the Top
    H: Indicates the presence of the bus hold feature on ABT(16), AVC, ALVC, and LVC(16) devices. On these devices bus hold capability is optional.
    Note: Bus hold is standard on LVT and ALVT bus interface devices. Consequently, no bus hold designator is used.
  1. Bit Width: Go to the Top
    1G, 2G, 3G: Indicates single-, dual-, and triple-gate devices.
    blank: Indicates the device falls within the 8-bit range (the range includes 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, and 10 bit devices). 8-bit devices are offered in the ABT, ALVC, FAST, HC/T, HEF4000, LV, LVC, and LVT families.
    16: Indicates the device falls within the 16-bit range (the range includes 16, 18, and 20 bit devices). 16-bit devices are offered in the ABT, ALVC, AVC, LVC, and LVT families.
    32: Indicates the device falls within the 32-bit range (the range includes 32, and 36 bit devices). 32-bit devices are offered in the ALVC and LVC families.
  1. Output Termination: Go to the Top
    2: Indicates the presence of optional output series termination. This option is available in the ABT, ALVC, LVC, and LVT families.
  1. Function: Go to the Top

  1. Device Version: Go to the Top
    A, B, C, etc.: Please check your part's datasheet to determine the meaning of the associated designator for this field.
  1. Termination Resistors: Go to the Top
    -1: Indicates the presence of terminations resistors for products in the FAST family.
