SN74LS10N

The SN74LS10N is a digital integrated circuit, specifically a Triple 3-Input NAND Gate from the 74LS (Low-Power Schottky) logic family. As a non-power component.

Here are its core specifications and relevance:

• Type: Logic Gate / Digital Integrated Circuit (IC).

• Function: Contains three independent 3-input NAND gates. The output is low only when all three inputs are simultaneously high.

• Family:LS (Low-Power Schottky), providing reliable speed and performance for general digital control applications.

• Supply Voltage (V_CC): Standard TTL voltage of 5.0V 

• Package: Standard 14-pin Dual In-line Package (DIP) (the 'N' suffix often denotes DIP).

• Relevance to Safety/Compliance: This chip would be used in the low-voltage control circuitry to implement complex interlocking and fault logic, which is crucial for meeting the 120C Protection and Standards requirements:

  • Fault Condition Trigger: It can ensure a shutdown signal is only generated when multiple critical safety conditions are met (e.g., "Over-Current is active AND Over-Voltage is active AND Thermal Trip is active").

  • Sequential Logic: Used in combination with other gates (like the CD4538 or 74LS04) to build sequential circuits that manage the safe startup and shutdown procedures required for standards compliance.
