SN74AHC08Q-Q1

The SN74AHC08Q-Q1 is a high-performance quad 2-input AND gate integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for robust operation in automotive and industrial environments. It operates across a wide supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 5.5 V, ensuring compatibility with various power systems while maintaining stable performance under varying conditions. The device features low static power consumption, making it ideal for energy-efficient applications where minimizing heat generation and power loss is critical. This IC offers TTL-compatible inputs and CMOS-level outputs, enabling seamless integration into both legacy and modern digital circuits. Its propagation delay is optimized for fast switching speeds, typically less than 10 ns at 5 V, which supports high-frequency signal processing in demanding electronic systems. The output drive capability is enhanced with a maximum sink/source current of ±24 mA, allowing direct driving of LEDs, relays, or other logic families without additional buffering components. Designed to meet AEC-Q100 qualification standards, the SN74AHC08Q-Q1 is suitable for harsh environments, including automotive applications such as engine control units (ECUs), body control modules, and infotainment systems. It exhibits excellent noise immunity, with a minimum noise margin of 1.0 V, ensuring reliable operation even in electrically noisy settings like those found in vehicles or industrial machinery. The package type is a 14-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit), offering a compact footprint that conserves board space while enabling efficient thermal dissipation. It supports a wide operating temperature range from –40°C to +125°C, making it appropriate for extreme ambient conditions encountered in automotive and industrial sectors. Additionally, the device includes internal ESD protection, safeguarding against electrostatic discharge during handling and installation. Functionally, each of the four independent AND gates performs standard logical operations: the output is HIGH only when both inputs are HIGH, enabling precise digital logic control in multiplexing, data selection, and interface circuits. This makes the part well-suited for use in digital signal conditioning, timing control, and logic-level translation tasks within complex embedded systems.
