Product details
Overview
74AHCT08T14-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a quadruple 2-input AND gate IC in TSSOP-14 package, operating at 4.5V–5.5V supply, delivering 3.8V VOH at -8mA and 0.44V VOL at 8mA, with 3.4ns typical propagation delay (CL = 15pF), used for combinatorial logic in PC motherboard control paths and peripheral interface signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHCT08T14-13 datasheet, 74AHCT08T14-13 pinout, 74AHCT08T14-13 application, or 74AHCT08T14-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0V, VIL = 0.8V), Schmitt-trigger input noise immunity, ±25mA output drive capability, and -40°C to +125°C industrial temperature operation.
Technical Context
The 74AHCT08T14-13 implements four independent non-inverting AND gates with push-pull CMOS outputs, fully compatible with TTL input voltage levels while consuming only 20μA ICC (typ) at static conditions. Its inputs feature Schmitt-trigger action, providing hysteresis of ~0.3V to suppress noise on slow-rising signals.
Propagation delay is specified down to 3.4ns (typ) at VCC = 4.5V and CL = 15pF, with guaranteed max 9.0ns over full temperature range (-40°C to +125°C). Output drive strength is characterized at both 50μA and 8mA load conditions, supporting direct interfacing to legacy TTL loads and modern low-capacitance digital nodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Four independent 2-input AND gates (Y = A • B) |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5V to 5.5V - ensures compatibility with 5V TTL and mixed-voltage systems |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0V, VIL = 0.8V - matches standard TTL logic levels for seamless interfacing |
| Output Drive | VOH ≥ 3.80V @ -8mA, VOL ≤ 0.44V @ 8mA - drives 5V TTL loads directly without level shifters |
| Propagation Delay | tPD = 3.4ns (typ) @ CL = 15pF, VCC = 4.5V - supports >100MHz toggle rates in short-path logic |
| ESD Protection | HBM: 2kV, CDM: 1kV, MM: 200V - exceeds JEDEC JESD22 standards for board-level robustness |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AHCT08PW | TSSOP-14, identical logic and DC specs; TI version has slightly tighter tPD min (0.4ns vs 0.5ns) and higher ICC max (45μA vs 40μA) | Same footprint and function; TI's characterization includes automotive-grade screening (AEC-Q100 Grade 3) | Select for automotive qualification or if sourcing TI-authorized channels is mandatory |
| 74AHCT08S14-13 | SO-14 package (5.0mm × 10.2mm); same electrical specs but 3× larger footprint and 2× higher thermal resistance (θJA = 120°C/W vs 180°C/W) | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy PCBs with SOIC footprints; lower assembly cost in low-volume SMT | Select when board space allows SOIC or reworkability is prioritized over density |

FAQ
Is the 74AHCT08T14-13 pin-compatible with standard 74-series AND gates?
Yes - it follows the industry-standard 14-pin DIP/SO/TSSOP pinout for quad 2-input AND gates (e.g., 74LS08, 74HC08). Pin 1 is 1A, pin 2 is 1B, pin 3 is 1Y, continuing sequentially; GND is pin 7 and VCC is pin 14. No layout changes are needed when upgrading from compatible families.
Can unused inputs be left floating?
No - unused inputs must be tied to VCC or GND. Floating inputs cause increased ICC, erratic output behavior, and potential latch-up due to internal parasitic structures. The datasheet explicitly requires termination to ensure stable operation and meet specified current limits.
Does this device support mixed-voltage operation (e.g., 3.3V inputs driving a 5V supply)?
No - the 74AHCT08T14-13 is designed for 4.5V–5.5V VCC only. While its TTL-compatible inputs accept 3.3V as VIH (≥2.0V), the output swing remains 0V–VCC (i.e., 0–5V), so interfacing to 3.3V-only receivers requires external level translation or series resistors to avoid overvoltage damage.
What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive reliably?
The datasheet specifies switching characteristics up to CL = 50pF. At that load, tPD increases to 10.0ns (max) at VCC = 4.5V. For reliable operation beyond 50pF, add a series resistor (e.g., 22Ω–47Ω) near the output to damp ringing and reduce slew rate, especially on long traces or unterminated lines.
