Product details
Overview
74AHCT08BQ,115 from Nexperia is a quad 2-input AND gate IC with TTL-compatible input thresholds, operating from 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply, featuring overvoltage-tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V, 7.5 ns typical propagation delay at 5 V/50 pF, and DHVQFN14 (SOT762-1) package for high-density PCB layouts in industrial control logic and level translation applications.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHCT08BQ,115 datasheet, 74AHCT08BQ,115 pinout, 74AHCT08BQ,115 application, or 74AHCT08BQ,115 equivalent, this device serves as a robust, temperature-stable (–40 °C to +125 °C) logic gate for mixed-voltage interface design, timing-critical combinational logic, and noise-immune digital signal routing where input compatibility with legacy TTL systems is required.
Technical Context
The 74AHCT08BQ,115 implements four independent AND gates with Schmitt-trigger action on all inputs, enabling reliable switching in noisy environments. Its TTL-level input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V) ensure direct compatibility with standard 5 V TTL outputs without level-shifting circuitry.
Each gate delivers rail-to-rail CMOS output drive (VOH ≥ 3.7 V, VOL ≤ 0.55 V at IO = ±8 mA), supports 14-terminal DHVQFN thermal-enhanced packaging, and maintains balanced propagation delays across all channels - critical for synchronous logic trees and parallel data path conditioning.
Key Specifications

Use Value: Overvoltage-tolerant inputs accept direct connection to unregulated auxiliary rails, reducing external component count. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad 2-input AND gate applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74AHCT08PW,118 | TSSOP14 package (4.4 mm width); higher thermal resistance (θJA = 137 K/W vs. 98 K/W) | Less suitable for high-power-density designs; requires larger PCB footprint | Select when board assembly uses standard TSSOP reflow profiles and thermal budget permits |
| SN74AHCT08DR | SOIC-14 package (3.9 mm width); lower ESD rating (HBM = 2 kV vs. 2.5 kV typical) | Compatible with through-hole prototyping but lacks DHVQFN's thermal performance | Choose for legacy board upgrades or low-volume hand-soldered development |
Compared with 74AHCT08PW,118 and SN74AHCT08DR, the 74AHCT08BQ,115 offers superior thermal dissipation in space-constrained layouts and tighter timing consistency due to its symmetric DHVQFN layout - making it optimal for high-reliability industrial control modules where thermal stability and channel matching are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage on any pin of the 74AHCT08BQ,115?
The absolute maximum input voltage is +7.0 V referenced to GND, per IEC 60134 limiting values. However, sustained operation above 5.5 V violates recommended conditions and risks reliability degradation. The device's overvoltage-tolerant inputs safely accept up to 5.5 V regardless of VCC, enabling mixed-voltage interfacing without external protection.
Can the 74AHCT08BQ,115 operate reliably at 3.3 V supply?
No - the 74AHCT08BQ,115 is TTL-input optimized and specified only for VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V. At 3.3 V, input thresholds become undefined and output drive falls outside guaranteed specifications. For 3.3 V systems, use the pin-compatible 74AHC08BQ,115 variant, which features CMOS-level inputs and 2.0–5.5 V operation.
Is the exposed thermal pad on the DHVQFN package electrically connected?
No - the exposed pad (terminal 7 in SOT762-1) is not electrically connected to GND or any internal node. Per datasheet note [1], it has no electrical or mechanical requirement to be soldered. If soldered, it must remain floating or be tied to GND to avoid unintended coupling or thermal stress.
How does the Schmitt-trigger action improve noise immunity in this device?
The Schmitt-trigger inputs provide hysteresis (~0.3 V typical) between rising and falling thresholds, preventing multiple transitions on slow-rising or noisy signals. This eliminates contact bounce artifacts in switch inputs and reduces susceptibility to crosstalk in dense PCB layouts - especially valuable in industrial environments with high EMI.
