SN74AC08NG4

Overview

The SN74AC08NG4 is a quad 2-input positive AND gate manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2V to 6V and supports a maximum propagation delay of 7.5ns at 5V. The device provides symmetric output drive currents of 24mA for both high and low states. It functions reliably across an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Executes Boolean AND logic functions using CMOS technology
• Supports wide supply voltage operation from 2V to 6V
• Features high-speed signal processing with low propagation delay

Applications

• Digital logic circuits
• LED driving applications
• Digital signal processing systems
• Control and automation equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package type, as 'N' typically denotes a PDIP-14 housing but confirm against official datasheets. Ensure the component meets required environmental standards such as RoHS compliance. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to validate authenticity and traceability before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring robust 2V to 6V operation and high current drive capabilities. It serves as a suitable replacement for legacy 74LS series gates in modern designs due to lower power consumption and faster switching speeds. Verify that the system's input voltage levels remain within the specified thresholds for reliable logic interpretation.

Part Context

This device belongs to the SN74AC08 family of single-function logic gates. It implements four independent 2-input AND gates on a single chip. The AC series offers performance improvements over older HC and LS technologies, providing higher speed and better noise immunity while maintaining compatibility with standard digital logic interfaces.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include SN74AC08DR and SN74AC08QPWRG4Q1. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical specifications before substitution.
