CD74ACT08M

Inverter Gates Overview

The CD74ACT08M is a quad 2-input positive-AND gate manufactured by Texas Instruments. It belongs to the 74ACT logic family, utilizing CMOS technology with TTL-compatible inputs. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and features push-pull outputs capable of sourcing and sinking up to 24 mA. It is housed in a 14-pin SOIC surface-mount package and supports an operating temperature range from -55°C to +125°C.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• TTL-compatible input levels for direct interfacing with TTL logic systems
• High-speed operation suitable for demanding digital applications
• Robust output drive capability with 24 mA source and sink currents

Inverter Gates Applications

• Digital signal processing circuits requiring logical AND operations
• Data acquisition systems for signal gating and masking
• Industrial control logic interfaces

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'M' corresponds to the SOIC-14 package configuration on official datasheets. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) ratings prior to integration into assembly processes. Ensure supply voltage constraints are strictly maintained within the specified 4.5 V to 5.5 V window to prevent device malfunction or damage.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when TTL-compatible inputs are required alongside high-speed performance and strong output drive capabilities. It serves as a direct replacement for older 74LS08 equivalents while offering superior speed and lower power consumption characteristics inherent to the ACT series. Consider thermal management requirements given the extended industrial temperature range.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part is a member of the Texas Instruments 74ACT series, which bridges the performance gap between standard HC logic and faster AS series devices. The ACT family provides CMOS low-power advantages with TTL-compatible input thresholds, making it widely used in mixed-voltage digital systems where interface compatibility and speed are critical design factors.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes include SN74ACT08N (PDIP) and SN74ACT08D (SOIC). Cross-family replacements like SN74HC08 offer similar functionality but with different switching speeds and drive strengths.
