SN74LVC08ABQAR

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74LVC08ABQAR is a quadruple 2-input positive-AND gate from the Texas Instruments LVC family, housed in a 14-pin WQFN (BQA) package. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.65V to 3.6V and supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. The device features inputs tolerant to 5.5V signals, enabling translation between mixed-voltage systems. Electrical characteristics include a maximum propagation delay of 4.1ns at 3.3V and output drive capabilities up to ±24mA.

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific BQA package variant against the datasheet mechanical drawings. Confirm that the -40°C to +125°C extended temperature rating aligns with system requirements. Ensure input signals remain below the 5.5V absolute maximum rating to prevent damage. Validate PCB layout guidelines regarding unused inputs and bypass capacitor placement.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when multiple AND logic functions are required in a single footprint. The wide supply voltage range allows compatibility with various low-power digital environments. The 5.5V tolerant inputs simplify interface design with legacy 5V or 3.3V logic without additional level shifters. Consider the thermal resistance values for heat dissipation in dense layouts.
