74LVC08APW,118

Inverter Gates Overview

The Nexperia 74LVC08APW,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 tolerance to slow rise/fall times. The device provides overvoltage tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V and supports direct TTL interfacing. Packaged in a TSSOP14 (SOT402-1) format with 14 leads, it functions across an ambient temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Overvoltage tolerant inputs allow direct interfacing with 5 V devices while operating at lower voltages.
• Schmitt-trigger action on all inputs ensures circuit stability against slower input signal transitions.
• CMOS construction enables low power consumption suitable for battery-operated applications.

Inverter Gates Applications

• Translating signals between mixed 3.3 V and 5 V logic systems
• General-purpose digital logic processing
• Buffering and driving loads in low-voltage embedded designs

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad AND gate is required for mixed-voltage environments. The TSSOP14 package suits space-constrained surface-mount layouts. Ensure the design accounts for the specified propagation delay and output drive capabilities relative to the target load capacitance.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the 74LVC08A family, which includes variants like the SOIC-14 (74LVC08AD) and DHVQFN14 (74LVC08ABQ). All share identical electrical characteristics but differ in physical packaging dimensions and thermal properties defined by their respective JEDEC/IEC outline standards.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible substitutes include other manufacturers' 74LVC08 devices in TSSOP14 packages. Verify that alternative sources meet the same 1.2 V to 3.6 V operating range and ESD protection specifications.

Inverter Gates FAQ

Can the 74LVC08APW,118 interface directly with 5 V logic?

Yes, the inputs are overvoltage tolerant up to 5.5 V, allowing them to accept signals from 5 V devices even when powered by lower voltages.

What is the purpose of the Schmitt-trigger inputs?

The Schmitt-trigger action makes the circuit tolerant of slower input rise and fall times, preventing erratic switching due to noise or gradual signal transitions.
