SN74HCS08BQAR

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74HCS08BQAR is an automotive-grade quadruple 2-input positive AND gate from Texas Instruments, belonging to the HCS logic series. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V and features four independent gates with eight inputs and four outputs. The device is housed in a TSSOP-14 package suitable for surface-mount installation. Key electrical characteristics include a propagation delay of 6 ns, low-level output current of 7.8 mA, and high-level output current of -7.8 mA. It supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +125°C and holds AEC-Q100 qualification.

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix BQA against official Texas Instruments documentation to confirm the exact package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the component matches the required AEC-Q100 grade for your automotive application. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit parts. Confirm that the ordering information aligns with the intended PCB footprint and reflow soldering profile.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when designing for automotive environments requiring robust logic functions with wide voltage tolerance. The HCS series offers improved speed compared to standard HC logic while maintaining compatibility. Consider the TSSOP-14 package constraints for board space. Verify thermal management requirements given the extended temperature range capability. Ensure input voltage levels are compatible with the system's logic family.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74HCS08 family of quadruple 2-input AND gates. It shares functional similarities with other automotive-qualified logic ICs from Texas Instruments but is distinguished by its specific HCS technology and packaging. The Q100 suffix indicates automotive qualification, differentiating it from commercial variants like the SN74HC08 or non-automotive HCS versions.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible substitutes such as SN74HCS08QPWRQ1 (TSSOP-14) or SN74HCS08QDRQ1 (SOIC-14). Verify that alternative packages meet the same electrical and thermal specifications. Ensure any replacement maintains AEC-Q100 certification if required for the application.
