SN74HCT08APWR

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74HCT08APWR is a quadruple 2-input positive-AND gate manufactured by Texas Instruments. It belongs to the HCT logic series, designed for operation with a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V. The device features four independent AND gates, each with two inputs and one output. It utilizes a TSSOP-14 surface-mount package. Key electrical specifications include a low-level output current of 4 mA and a high-level output current of -4 mA. The propagation delay is specified at 19 ns. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Contains four independent 2-input AND logic functions
• Compatible with standard TTL logic levels via HCT series design
• Operates on a single 5V power supply rail

Inverter Gates Applications

• Digital signal processing circuits requiring logical conjunction
• Data routing and selection logic in embedded systems
• Control logic interfaces in industrial automation equipment

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PWR' corresponds to the TSSOP-14 package and tape-and-reel delivery format. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated in official datasheets. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact manufacturer designation to avoid pinout or electrical characteristic mismatches during integration.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when HCT speed and voltage compatibility are required over standard HC series performance. The TSSOP-14 package offers a compact footprint suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts. Consider the 19 ns propagation delay against system timing requirements. Verify that the 4 mA drive capability meets the load requirements of downstream circuitry.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part is a member of the Texas Instruments 74HCT logic family, which bridges CMOS technology with TTL input compatibility. The 'A' prefix typically denotes an improved version or specific manufacturing revision within the product line. The 'PWR' suffix identifies the specific plastic small-outline package variant and reel quantity configuration provided by the manufacturer.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other SN74HCT08 variants in different packages such as SN74HCT08N (DIP) or SN74HCT08NSR (SOIC). Cross-family replacements like SN74HC08 offer similar functionality but may differ in noise immunity and switching speed characteristics.
