SN74HCT08N

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74HCT08N is a quadruple 2-input positive-AND gate manufactured by Texas Instruments in a 14-pin PDIP package. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and supports an operating temperature from -40°C to 85°C. The device features TTL-voltage compatible inputs with low input current (1µA max) and outputs capable of driving up to 10 LSTTL loads. Typical propagation delay is 13ns at 5V, with ±4mA output drive capability.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Contains four independent 2-input AND gates performing the Boolean function Y = A • B
• TTL-voltage compatible inputs allow direct interfacing with TTL logic systems
• Outputs can drive up to 10 LSTTL loads for robust signal transmission
• Low power consumption with maximum ICC of 20µA

Inverter Gates Applications

• Digital logic circuits requiring multiple AND operations
• Systems interfacing CMOS logic with TTL standards
• General-purpose boolean logic implementation in industrial equipment

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required package type, as the SN74HCT08 family includes SOIC, SSOP, TSSOP, and SOP variants. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead finish details via the latest Package Option Addendum. Ensure the selected part number corresponds to the active production status rather than obsolete versions like the SN74HCT08D or SN74HCT08PW.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when TTL-compatible inputs are necessary for CMOS-based designs. The HCT series ensures compatibility with standard TTL voltage levels while maintaining CMOS noise immunity. Verify that the 4.5V to 5.5V supply requirement aligns with the system's power architecture before finalizing the design.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This device belongs to the SN74HCT08 family of quadruple 2-input positive-AND gates. It is designed for high-speed digital applications requiring reliable logic gating. The PDIP package provides through-hole mounting options suitable for prototyping and specific industrial enclosures where surface-mount technology is not preferred.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Direct functional equivalents include other SN74HCT08 variants such as SN74HCT08DR (SOIC) or SN74HCT08DBR (SSOP). Cross-manufacturer replacements must verify pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics matching the HCT logic family specifications.
