74AC08PC

Overview

The MC74AC08PC is a quad 2-input AND gate manufactured by onsemi, belonging to the AC logic series. It features four independent gates within a single package. The device operates with a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V and supports low-level output currents of 24 mA and high-level output currents of -24 mA. Propagation delay is specified at 5.5 ns. It functions reliably across an operating temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates four independent 2-input AND logic gates for complex digital signal processing.
• Provides high drive capability with 24 mA output current sourcing and sinking capacity.
• Operates effectively within a wide power supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V.

Applications

• Digital control systems requiring multiple logic gating functions
• Signal processing circuits in consumer electronics
• General-purpose logic applications in industrial equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PC' against official datasheets to confirm package type and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with required operating temperatures and voltage levels. Confirm RoHS compliance status through manufacturer documentation before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when multiple AND gates are needed in a compact form factor. Consider the 2 V to 6 V operating range for flexibility in various power supply designs. Evaluate propagation delay requirements against system timing constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 74AC08 family of quad 2-input AND gates. It shares functional similarities with other members like MC74AC08DG but differs in packaging. The AC series offers improved speed and lower power consumption compared to older HC or HCT variants.

Replacement Considerations

MC74AC08DG (SOIC-14) and 74AC08MTC (TSSOP-14) offer similar electrical characteristics. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal performance when substituting different package types.
