Product details
Overview
74ALVC08MTCX from onsemi is a low-voltage quad 2-input AND gate IC operating from 1.65 V to 3.6 V VCC, with 3.6 V tolerant inputs/outputs, propagation delay as low as 2.9 ns (at 3.3 V), and power-off high-impedance I/O - used in voltage-translating logic interfaces for portable microcontroller peripherals and mixed-supply FPGA I/O bridging.
For engineers reviewing the 74ALVC08MTCX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include input/output voltage tolerance across supply rails, propagation delay vs. VCC dependency, quiescent current at 1.65 V, ESD robustness (>2000 V HBM), and TSSOP-14 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The 74ALVC08MTCX implements four independent non-inverting AND logic functions using advanced CMOS process technology. It supports dual-rail interfacing via 3.6 V tolerant I/O while powered from as low as 1.65 V, enabling seamless communication between 1.8 V/2.5 V logic domains and legacy 3.3 V systems.
Its Quiet Series noise/EMI reduction circuitry suppresses simultaneous switching noise, and latchup performance conforms to JEDEC JED78. Power-off high-impedance behavior prevents back-driving during partial power-down sequences in multi-voltage systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - enables operation across 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V logic families without level shifters |
| tPD Max | 2.9 ns @ 3.3 V - supports >300 MHz toggle rates in critical timing paths |
| I/O Tolerance | 3.6 V - allows safe connection to higher-voltage buses even when VCC = 1.65 V |
| IOH/IOL | ±24 mA - drives standard 50 Ω transmission lines or multiple 74ALVC inputs |
| ICC Quiescent | 40 μA @ 3.6 V - minimizes standby power in battery-operated devices |
| ESD HBM | >2000 V - meets industrial handling requirements without external protection |
| CIN | 4.5 pF @ 3.3 V - limits capacitive loading on driving gates and preserves signal integrity |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-14 wide-body (Case 948G), 4.9 mm × 4.4 mm × 1.2 mm profile, lead-free, surface-mount package with exposed pad not present.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, 12 | A0/B0, A1/B1, A2/B2, A3/B3 | Four independent AND gate inputs - each pair feeds one gate; no internal cross-coupling |
| 3, 6, 10, 13 | O0, O1, O2, O3 | Respective AND gate outputs - actively driven HIGH/LOW, high-impedance when powered down |
| 7 | GND | Digital ground reference - must be low-inductance connection to minimize switching noise |
| 14 | VCC | Primary supply rail - powers all four gates and I/O buffers; decoupling capacitor required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide VCC range (1.65–3.6 V) | Eliminates need for separate level translators in mixed-voltage systems like USB-C PD controllers |
| 3.6 V tolerant I/O | Permits direct interface to 3.3 V peripherals (e.g., SPI flash, sensors) while core runs at 1.8 V |
| Power-off high-impedance I/O | Prevents bus contention during partial system power-down - critical for hot-swap and sleep-mode reliability |
| Quiet Series EMI reduction | Reduces radiated emissions by controlling output slew rate - aids CE/FCC compliance in compact enclosures |
| JEDEC JED78 latchup immunity | Guarantees robust operation under transient overvoltage or ESD events in automotive and industrial environments |

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage for reliable operation of the 74ALVC08MTCX?
The 74ALVC08MTCX is fully specified down to 1.65 V VCC, with guaranteed VIH/VIL thresholds, propagation delay (5.3 ns max), and output drive strength (±100 µA) across the entire −40°C to +85°C temperature range. Below 1.65 V, functionality is not assured per datasheet limits.
Does the 74ALVC08MTCX support hot insertion or live board swapping?
Yes - the 74ALVC08MTCX features power-off high-impedance inputs and outputs, allowing it to be safely inserted or removed from a powered-backplane system without disrupting other components. This behavior is explicitly characterized in the datasheet under "Power-off High Impedance Inputs and Outputs".
Can the 74ALVC08MTCX drive a 50 Ω transmission line directly?
The 74ALVC08MTCX can source/sink up to ±24 mA, sufficient to drive a 50 Ω line terminated at VCC/2 with ~24 mA peak current. However, for controlled impedance routing and minimal reflections, series termination at the driver output is recommended - confirmed by AC loading test conditions (RL = 500 Ω, CL = 50 pF) in the datasheet.
Is the 74ALVC08MTCX pin-compatible with older 74AC08 or 74HC08 devices?
No - the 74ALVC08MTCX uses TSSOP-14 (Case 948G), whereas standard 74AC08/74HC08 are typically offered in SOIC-14 or PDIP-14 packages with different pin spacing and thermal characteristics. Even if adapted mechanically, VCC range and I/O tolerance differ significantly: 74ALVC08MTCX supports 1.65–3.6 V with 3.6 V tolerant I/O, unlike 74HC08 (2–6 V, non-tolerant).
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74ALVC08MTCX in toggle mode?
Based on its 2.9 ns maximum propagation delay (tPHL/tPLH) at 3.3 V, the 74ALVC08MTCX supports a theoretical maximum toggle frequency of ~172 MHz (1/(2 × 2.9 ns)). Real-world achievable frequency depends on load capacitance, trace inductance, and supply decoupling - verified in AC loading tests with CL = 50 pF and RL = 500 Ω.
