74HC08 Quad 2-Input AND Logic Gate, DIP-14

The SN74HC08N is a high-speed CMOS integrated circuit, comprising four independent two-input AND logic gates in a single package. It executes the fundamental Boolean AND function, Y = A · B, with a positive logic interpretation, making it a core building block for a vast array of digital systems. This IC is known for its robust performance, low power consumption, and high reliability, suitable for both hobbyist and professional electronic projects.

A key feature is its impressive low-power characteristic, with a maximum supply current (ICC) of just 20µA. It offers fast signal processing with a typical propagation delay of 8 nanoseconds, ensuring efficient operation in timing-critical circuits. Each output can drive up to ten low-power Schottky TTL (LSTTL) loads, providing excellent fan-out capability.

The device is designed for a wide operating voltage range from 2V to 6V, offering flexibility in both 5V and 3.3V system design. It delivers a solid output drive of ±4mA at 5V, while maintaining a very low input current of a maximum 1µA. Housed in a through-hole, 14-pin Dual In-line Package (DIP), it is perfectly suited for prototyping on breadboards or for use in permanent circuit boards where easy soldering and servicing are advantages.

With an extended industrial operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C, this logic gate is engineered for stable and dependable performance in demanding environments. Its combination of speed, low power, and drive strength makes it an essential component for constructing complex logic functions, including decoders, encoders, and data processing units.
