SN74ACT08NSR

Overview

The SN74ACT08NSR is a quad 2-input positive-AND gate manufactured by Texas Instruments. It belongs to the 74ACT logic series, utilizing CMOS technology for high-speed digital applications. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V. It features low static power consumption and provides symmetrical output drive capabilities with a maximum current of 24mA for both high and low states. The component is housed in a 14-pin SOIC surface-mount package.

Feature Summary

• High-speed operation suitable for demanding digital logic circuits
• Low static power dissipation characteristic of CMOS technology
• Symmetrical output drive strength for reliable signal transmission

Applications

• General-purpose digital logic systems
• Memory address decoding circuits
• Clock gating and timing control applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'SR' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging specifications and moisture sensitivity level. Ensure the order matches the exact part number to avoid discrepancies in pinout or electrical characteristics compared to other variants in the 74ACT08 family.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed AND functionality is required with standard 5V logic compatibility. The ACT series offers superior speed-power product compared to older AC or ALS families. Consider the SOIC package constraints for PCB layout and thermal management requirements during the design phase.

Part Context

This part is a member of the Texas Instruments 74ACT logic family, designed to bridge the performance gap between TTL and standard CMOS technologies. It maintains pinout compatibility with legacy 74LS devices while offering faster switching speeds and lower power consumption, making it suitable for modernizing existing digital designs.
