Nexperia USA Inc. 74AXP2T08DPJ

Overview

74AXP2T08DPJ from Nexperia is a dual 2-input AND gate logic IC in XSON8 package, operating from 1.1 V to 3.6 V supply, with ±24 mA output drive, 3.3 ns typical propagation delay at 3.3 V, and rail-to-rail input compatibility - used in level-shifting I²C bus signal conditioning and low-voltage control path gating.

For engineers reviewing the 74AXP2T08DPJ datasheet, 74AXP2T08DPJ pinout, 74AXP2T08DPJ application, or 74AXP2T08DPJ equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-gate logic density, 1.1–3.6 V single-supply operation, ±24 mA push-pull drive capability, rail-to-rail input voltage tolerance, and XSON8 footprint compatibility with space-constrained portable interface designs.

Technical Context

This device implements two independent 2-input AND gates in a single monolithic CMOS structure, with inputs tolerant of voltages up to V_CC + 0.5 V and outputs capable of full rail-to-rail swing. Each gate features identical electrical characteristics and shares no internal coupling beyond common supply rails.

It supports mixed-voltage interfacing between 1.2 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V domains without external level shifters, enabled by its overvoltage-tolerant inputs and low-threshold switching thresholds referenced to V_CC.

FAQ

Can 74AXP2T08DPJ operate with a 1.2 V supply?

Yes. The 74AXP2T08DPJ is fully specified down to 1.1 V supply voltage, with guaranteed logic thresholds, propagation delay (6.5 ns max at 1.2 V), and output drive (±12 mA) per its official Nexperia datasheet Rev. 3.

Does this device require external pull-up resistors on inputs?

No. Inputs are CMOS-compatible with no internal pull-ups or pull-downs. External pull-ups are only needed if the driving source is open-drain or high-impedance - not inherent to the IC's operation.

Is the thermal pad on the XSON8 package electrically connected?

No. The exposed thermal pad is internally unconnected and intended solely for mechanical attachment and thermal conduction to the PCB. It must be soldered to a dedicated copper pour but left floating electrically.

What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive reliably?

The 74AXP2T08DPJ is characterized to drive up to 50 pF load capacitance with ≤3.3 ns propagation delay at 3.3 V. For loads exceeding 50 pF, output rise/fall times increase linearly, and timing margins must be verified per application layout.
