SN74AC08DRG4

Overview

The SN74AC08DRG4 is a quad 2-input positive AND gate manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V and features low static current consumption of 2 µA maximum. The device provides symmetrical output drive capabilities with both high and low level output currents rated at 24 mA. Propagation delay is specified at 7.5 ns when operating at 5 V with a 50 pF load. It is housed in a 14-SOIC surface-mount package and supports an industrial operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Contains four independent 2-input AND logic gates within a single integrated circuit
• Provides robust 24 mA symmetrical output drive capability for direct interface loads
• Operates across a wide supply voltage range from 2 V to 6 V
• Features low static power consumption with maximum quiescent current of 2 µA

Applications

• General-purpose digital logic signal processing
• Data acquisition systems requiring buffered AND operations
• Industrial control logic circuits
• Communication equipment signal gating

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix DRG4 to confirm the tape-and-reel packaging format and lead-free RoHS compliance status. Ensure the procurement channel sources directly from authorized distributors or Texas Instruments to guarantee component authenticity. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number against official datasheets to validate the exact pinout and electrical specifications before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide supply voltage range up to 6 V is required compared to standard 5 V logic families. Choose this part over lower-speed alternatives like the SN74HC08 series if faster propagation delays are necessary for system timing. Consider the SOIC-14 package dimensions for PCB layout constraints and verify that the 24 mA output drive meets the fan-out requirements of connected loads.

Part Context

This component belongs to the SN74AC08 family of advanced CMOS logic gates. It serves as a higher-performance alternative to older bipolar technologies, offering significantly faster switching speeds while maintaining low power dissipation. The device is designed for applications requiring reliable operation across extended industrial temperature ranges and wide voltage tolerances.

Replacement Considerations

The SN74AC08D is a compatible tube-packaged version of the same logical function. For automotive applications, the SN74AC08QDRG4Q1 offers AEC-Q100 qualification. The SN74ALS08DR provides a TTL-compatible alternative but requires a strict 5 V supply and exhibits different speed and power characteristics.
