MM74C08N

Inverter Gates Overview

The MM74C08 is a quad 2-input AND gate manufactured by onsemi, utilizing complementary MOS (CMOS) technology. It operates within a wide supply voltage range of 3.0V to 15V and features low power consumption with a typical dissipation of 10 nW per package. The device provides high noise immunity and includes input protection against static discharge via diode clamps. It is housed in a 14-lead plastic dual-in-line package (PDIP).

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Employs CMOS transistors for symmetrical circuit output swing and low static power consumption.
• Provides high noise immunity and guaranteed noise margins across the operating temperature range.
• Includes input protection from static discharge damage through internal diode clamps.

Inverter Gates Applications

• Implementation of digital integrated circuit systems requiring basic logic functions.
• Low power TTL compatibility applications driving 74L series loads.
• General purpose logic operations in industrial or commercial electronic equipment.

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify that the component matches the specific MM74C08 designation rather than similar variants like SN74HC08N. Confirm the package type is the standard 14-lead PDIP as specified in the datasheet. Ensure the supplier provides documentation confirming compliance with the original Fairchild Semiconductor specifications.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide supply voltage range up to 15V is required, distinguishing it from lower-voltage HC or VHC families. Consider its low static power consumption for battery-operated or energy-efficient designs. Verify that the propagation delay characteristics meet the timing requirements of the target application.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the 74C08 family of quad 2-input AND gates. It represents a legacy CMOS logic solution originally developed by Fairchild Semiconductor before being acquired by onsemi. The device serves as a fundamental building block for combinational logic circuits in older or specialized industrial control systems.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other manufacturers' versions of the 74C08 such as those from Texas Instruments or NXP. For modern replacements, verify if higher-speed families like 74HC08 are compatible with the existing voltage levels and interface requirements.
