TC74VHC08F(EL,K,F)

Inverter Gates Overview

The TC74VHC08F(EL,K,F) is a Toshiba Semiconductor and Storage CMOS logic integrated circuit belonging to the TC74VHC series. It functions as a quad two-input AND gate housed in a 14-VSSOP surface-mount package. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2V to 5.5V, supporting low-power applications. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum static current of 2 µA and symmetric output drive capabilities of 8mA for both high and low states. Propagation delay is specified at 7.9ns under standard test conditions of 5V supply and 50pF load.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Provides four independent two-input AND logic functions within a single compact package
• Features low quiescent current consumption suitable for battery-powered systems
• Offers symmetrical output drive strength for reliable signal transmission

Inverter Gates Applications

• Digital logic control circuits requiring multiple AND operations
• Portable electronic devices utilizing low-voltage power supplies
• Signal gating and data routing in embedded systems

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (EL, K, or F) against the manufacturer's datasheet to confirm packaging and tape specifications. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for your region. Confirm availability status as distribution listings may indicate discontinuation or limited stock for certain suffix variants. Cross-reference the ordering number with official Toshiba documentation to prevent substitution errors.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits that require quad AND gates with low power consumption and operation across a wide voltage range from 2V to 5.5V. The 14-VSSOP package is appropriate for space-constrained surface-mount designs. Consider the 7.9ns propagation delay for timing-critical applications operating at 5V. Ensure input voltage levels remain within the specified limits relative to the supply voltage.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the TC74VHC series of high-speed CMOS logic devices manufactured by Toshiba Semiconductor and Storage. The VHC series is designed to offer performance comparable to LS-TTL logic while maintaining lower power consumption. The TC74VHC08 specifically implements the standard 74VHC08 logic function, providing industry-standard compatibility for digital design integration.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other manufacturers' 74VHC08 equivalents in 14-VSSOP packages. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameters such as output current and propagation delay before substitution. Ensure the alternative component supports the required 2V to 5.5V operating voltage range.
