PRODUCTION DATA
In this application, the SN74HC00 is used to create an active-low SR latch. The two additional gates can be used for a second active-low SR latch, individually used for their logic function, or the inputs can be grounded and both channels left unused. This device is used to drive the tamper indicator LED and provide one bit of data to the system controller. When the tamper switch outputs LOW, the output Q becomes HIGH. This output remains HIGH until the system controller addresses the event and sends a LOW signal to the R input which returns the Q output back to LOW.
