SN74HC21DR

Texas Instruments · Gates · SOIC-14

SN74HC21DR from Texas Instruments, in a SOIC-14. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 1A input Channel 1, Input A. CMOS logic input to gate 1 (VIH ≥ 3.15 V @ VCC = 4.5 V; VIL ≤ 1.35 V @ VCC = 4.5 V).
2 1B input Channel 1, Input B. CMOS logic input to gate 1.
3 NC unconnected Not internally connected. Leave floating or tie to any potential.
4 1C input Channel 1, Input C. CMOS logic input to gate 1.
5 1D input Channel 1, Input D. CMOS logic input to gate 1.
6 1Y output Channel 1, Output Y. 1Y = 1A · 1B · 1C · 1D. CMOS push-pull output; IOL/IOH up to ±5.2 mA at VCC = 6 V.
7 GND power_in Ground return, 0 V reference for VCC and all inputs/outputs.
8 2Y output Channel 2, Output Y. 2Y = 2A · 2B · 2C · 2D. CMOS push-pull output; IOL/IOH up to ±5.2 mA at VCC = 6 V.
9 2A input Channel 2, Input A. CMOS logic input to gate 2.
10 2B input Channel 2, Input B. CMOS logic input to gate 2.
11 NC unconnected Not internally connected. Leave floating or tie to any potential.
12 2C input Channel 2, Input C. CMOS logic input to gate 2.
13 2D input Channel 2, Input D. CMOS logic input to gate 2.
14 VCC power_in Positive supply, 2 V to 6 V (absolute maximum 7 V). Bypass with a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor to GND close to the pin.

CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: SN74HC21DR

  • 3D model: SOIC-14 (KiCad packages3D, STEP)

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
sn74hc21dr.step 195 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
sn74hc21dr-etched.step 2.2 MB You want the part with SN74HC21DR already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 558 faces against 237 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:

  • Datasheet: Texas Instruments datasheet (34 pp, sha256 d9553773c8d57248, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: manufacturer)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
  • CAD: KiCad official libraries (CC-BY-SA 4.0).
