74LVC08AD,118

Inverter Gates Overview

The Nexperia 74LVC08AD,118 is a quad 2-input AND gate in the LVC logic series. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.2 V to 3.6 V and features Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise tolerance. The device provides overvoltage tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V, enabling direct interfacing with TTL levels and use as a translator between 3.3 V and 5 V systems. It is housed in an SO14 (SOT108-1) plastic small outline package with a body width of 3.9 mm. The component supports an operating temperature range from -40 °C to +125 °C.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Schmitt-trigger action at all inputs ensures tolerance for slower input rise and fall times.
• Overvoltage tolerant inputs allow direct connection to 5.5 V signals while powered by lower voltages.
• CMOS construction results in low power consumption characteristics.

Inverter Gates Applications

• Mixed 3.3 V and 5 V level translation applications
• Direct interface with TTL logic levels
• General purpose digital logic circuits requiring AND functionality

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this part when a quad AND gate is required for mixed-voltage environments. The LVC series offers a wide supply range suitable for modern low-power designs. Ensure the SO14 package fits the PCB layout constraints. Consider the 74LVC08APW if a TSSOP package is preferred instead of the standard SOIC form factor.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This component belongs to the Nexperia 74LVC08A family of quad 2-input AND gates. The 'AD' designation specifically identifies the SO14 (SOT108-1) package variant. Other variants in the same logical family include the APW (TSSOP14), ABQ (DHVQFN14), and ABZ (DHXQFN14) packages, which share identical electrical specifications but differ in physical footprint.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

The 74LVC08APW,118 serves as a pin-compatible alternative using the TSSOP14 package. For non-pin-compatible replacements, other manufacturers offer equivalent quad AND gates in the 74LVC series, though electrical parameters must be verified against the original datasheet requirements.

Inverter Gates FAQ

Can the 74LVC08AD,118 interface directly with 5 V devices?

Yes, the inputs are overvoltage tolerant up to 5.5 V, allowing them to accept signals from 5 V devices even when the IC itself is powered by a lower voltage such as 3.3 V or 1.8 V.

What is the function of the Schmitt triggers on this device?

The Schmitt-trigger action at all inputs makes the circuit tolerant of slower input rise and fall times, improving noise immunity in digital signal processing applications.
