SN74AC08DR

Overview

The SN74AC08DR is a quad 2-input positive-AND gate integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2V to 6V and features low static current consumption of 2 µA maximum. The device provides symmetric output drive capabilities with 24mA high and low output currents. Propagation delay is specified at 7.5ns when tested at 5V with a 50pF load. It is housed in a 14-SOIC surface-mount package and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides four independent 2-input AND logic functions in a single package
• Features symmetric output drive strength for both high and low states
• Operates across a wide supply voltage range from 2V to 6V
• Maintains low static power consumption during operation

Applications

• Digital signal processing logic circuits
• Microcontroller input/output interfacing
• Memory address decoding systems
• General-purpose logic control applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the component meets RoHS3 compliance requirements for your assembly process. Confirm the moisture sensitivity level classification prior to soldering. Validate that the supplier provides traceable documentation matching the manufacturer's part number. Check for any specific handling instructions related to the SOIC-14 package format.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide supply voltage range including 2V operation is required, distinguishing it from standard 5V-only logic families. The symmetric 24mA drive capability supports moderate capacitive loads without external buffering. Consider the 7.5ns propagation delay for timing-critical paths within the AC series performance envelope. The 14-SOIC package offers a balance between pin count and board space efficiency for dense designs.
