74ALVC08MT

Overview

The Fairchild Semiconductor 74ALVC08MT is a high-performance, low-power, low-voltage Si-gate CMOS device belonging to the ALVC series. It provides four independent 2-input AND logic gates within a single package. The component operates with a wide supply voltage range from 1.65 V to 3.6 V and features Schmitt-trigger action at all inputs, ensuring tolerance for slower input rise and fall times. It offers direct interface capability with TTL levels when operating between 2.7 V and 3.6 V. The device complies with JEDEC standards JESD8-7, JESD8-5, and JESD8B/JESD36 depending on the specific supply voltage. It includes ESD protection exceeding 2000 V (HBM) and 200 V (MM), with latch-up performance exceeding 250 mA.

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation as Fairchild Semiconductor or its successor entities, noting that Fairchild was acquired by ON Semiconductor. Confirm the package type matches the required surface-mount configuration. Ensure the part number suffix corresponds to the specific tape and reel or cut tape packaging requirements of your assembly line. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your manufacturing process.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring fast switching speeds in low-voltage environments. The ALVC series is suitable where direct interfacing with 3.3 V or 5 V TTL/CMOS logic is necessary without level shifting. Consider the Schmitt-trigger inputs if the application involves noisy signals or slow edge rates. Verify that the operating temperature range meets the environmental conditions of the final product deployment.

Part Context

The 74ALVC08MT is part of the broader 74ALVC family of logic integrated circuits. This family is designed to offer superior performance compared to standard CMOS and compatible TTL families. The 'M' suffix typically denotes a specific package variant, often a small outline package such as TSSOP or SOIC, providing a compact solution for space-constrained printed circuit board designs.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the NXP Semiconductors 74ALVC08 and Nexperia 74ALVC08. These components share identical logical functions and electrical characteristics. Verify pin compatibility and package dimensions before substitution to ensure mechanical fit.
