Nexperia USA Inc. 74HC08PW,112

Overview

74HC08PW,112 from Nexperia is a quad 2-input AND gate in TSSOP14 package, operating from 2.0 V to 6.0 V supply, delivering typical propagation delay of 9 ns at VCC = 4.5 V and CL = 50 pF, with CMOS-level inputs and ±25 mA output drive capability. It serves as a fundamental combinational logic building block in digital control, address decoding, and signal gating circuits across industrial and consumer electronics.

For engineers reviewing the 74HC08PW,112 datasheet, 74HC08PW,112 pinout, 74HC08PW,112 application, or 74HC08PW,112 equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage compatibility (CMOS-level), guaranteed operation from –40 °C to +125 °C, low static current (<40 μA at VCC = 6.0 V), and TSSOP14 thermal performance with 7.3 mW/K derating above 81 °C.

Technical Context

This device implements four independent 2-input AND gates using silicon-gate CMOS technology, with input clamp diodes enabling safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors. Each gate exhibits symmetrical HIGH/LOW output voltage thresholds referenced to VCC, supporting robust noise immunity across its full operating temperature range.

Propagation delay and transition time are characterized under defined load conditions (CL = 50 pF) and input edge rates, with VIH/VIL thresholds specified per supply voltage - e.g., VIH ≥ 3.15 V at VCC = 4.5 V for 74HC08 - ensuring predictable timing behavior in synchronous and asynchronous logic systems.

FAQ

Can 74HC08PW,112 interface directly with 3.3 V microcontrollers?

Yes. With VIH ≥ 2.1 V at VCC = 3.3 V (per datasheet Table 6), the 74HC08PW,112 reliably recognizes standard 3.3 V CMOS HIGH levels. Its 2.0 V to 6.0 V supply range allows direct connection to 3.3 V rails without level translation, provided output loading remains within ±25 mA limits.

What is the maximum clock frequency supported by this AND gate?

The device does not operate as a clocked element but as combinational logic. Its 9 ns typical propagation delay at VCC = 4.5 V implies a maximum reliable toggle rate of approximately 35 MHz in feedback configurations. For synchronous systems, setup/hold timing must be verified against driving source characteristics and trace delays.

Is the TSSOP14 package RoHS and REACH compliant?

Yes. Nexperia confirms the 74HC08PW,112 (SOT402-1) meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, with lead-free terminations and halogen-free molding compound, as documented in Nexperia's official compliance statements.

How does input clamping affect interfacing with 12 V sensors?

Clamp diodes allow safe connection of 12 V signals when paired with a series current-limiting resistor (e.g., 10 kΩ). At 12 V input, the diode conducts excess voltage to VCC or GND, limiting pin voltage to VCC + 0.5 V or –0.5 V - provided IIK stays within ±20 mA per datasheet Table 4.
