SN74ACT08N

Overview

The SN74ACT08N is a quad 2-input positive AND gate manufactured by Texas Instruments. It belongs to the ACT logic series and operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V. The device features a propagation delay of 10 ns, with low-level output current capability of 24 mA and high-level output current of -24 mA. It is housed in a PDIP-14 package and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Contains four independent 2-input AND gates for complex logic implementation
• Provides high-speed performance with 10 ns propagation delay
• Delivers strong drive capability with 24 mA output current
• Compatible with standard TTL input levels

Applications

• Digital signal processing circuits
• Microprocessor-based system control logic
• Memory address decoding applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number SN74ACT08N against official Texas Instruments documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical specifications. Ensure that the procurement source provides genuine components with valid traceability records. Cross-reference the datasheet for any recent manufacturing changes or obsolescence notices before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed logic switching is required alongside robust output drive capabilities. The ACT series offers superior performance compared to older LS or HC families while maintaining pin compatibility. Consider the PDIP-14 package for through-hole mounting requirements in industrial or legacy board designs.

Part Context

This device is part of the broader 74ACT family of high-speed CMOS logic devices. It serves as a fundamental building block for digital systems requiring reliable AND operations. The SN74ACT08N complements other members of the series such as flip-flops and buffers to form complete logic subsystems.
