SN74HC08N-P2

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74HC08N is a quadruple 2-input AND gate manufactured by Texas Instruments in a 14-pin PDIP package. It operates on a supply voltage range of 2V to 6V and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. The device features buffered inputs, balanced CMOS push-pull outputs, and standard CMOS input characteristics. It provides significant power reduction compared to LSTTL logic ICs and supports fanout up to 10 LSTTL loads.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Contains four independent 2-input AND gates performing the Boolean function Y = A ● B
• Features buffered inputs and balanced CMOS push-pull outputs for similar sourcing and sinking currents
• Supports wide operating voltage and temperature ranges suitable for diverse environments

Inverter Gates Applications

• Combining power good signals
• Enabling digital signals
• Directly controlling motor controller reset pins

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current documentation to confirm package type, lead finish, and material compliance status. Ensure the selected variant matches the required thermal resistance and operating temperature specifications for the intended application environment.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad 2-input AND gate with high-speed CMOS performance is required. Consider the PDIP package for through-hole mounting needs. Verify that the system supply voltage falls within the 2V to 6V range and that the load capacitance does not exceed recommended limits to maintain signal integrity.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the SNx4HC08 family of quadruple 2-input AND gates. It is designed as a replacement for older logic families like LSTTL, offering lower power consumption while maintaining compatible fanout capabilities. The device is available in multiple packages including SOIC, SSOP, and CFP variants.

Inverter Gates FAQ

How should unused inputs be handled?

All unused inputs must be terminated to either VCC or ground to prevent undefined operational states and excessive current consumption.

What are the input transition rate requirements?

Input signals must have fast edge rates as defined in the Recommended Operating Conditions to avoid oscillations and damaging shoot-through current.
