SN74HC08NS

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74HC08NS is a quad 2-input positive AND gate integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2V to 6V and features push-pull outputs capable of sourcing and sinking up to 5.2mA. The device utilizes CMOS technology and includes internal input protection against static discharge. It supports through-hole mounting in a 14-pin DIP package with a standard pin pitch of 0.300 inches (7.62mm).

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Contains four independent 2-input AND logic gates within a single package.
• Provides high noise immunity and low power consumption typical of HC CMOS technology.
• Features balanced output drive capabilities for both high and low logic states.

Inverter Gates Applications

• Digital logic signal processing and gating applications.
• Data acquisition systems requiring logical AND operations.
• General-purpose digital control circuits.

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'N' confirms the 14-pin PDIP through-hole package configuration. Confirm that the component meets RoHS compliance standards as indicated by manufacturer documentation. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact package style required for the target PCB footprint. Check for any automotive or extended temperature variants if operating conditions exceed standard industrial limits.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a through-hole DIP package is required for prototyping or legacy board designs. Verify that the 2V to 6V supply voltage range aligns with the system power rails. Consider the propagation delay specifications relative to the maximum clock frequency of the application. Ensure the 5.2mA output current capability is sufficient for the connected load capacitance and fan-out requirements.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74HC08 family of quadruple 2-input AND gates. It is part of the broader 74HC series, which offers compatibility with previous 74LS logic families while providing improved speed and lower power consumption. The device is designed for general-purpose digital applications using standard CMOS processes.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible alternatives include the SN74HC08DR (SOIC-14) and SN74HC08PWR (TSSOP-14) from Texas Instruments. Other manufacturers may offer equivalent parts such as the CD74HC08M or MC74HC08ADG, provided they meet the same electrical specifications and package dimensions.
