Product details
Overview
74HCT08BQ,115 from Nexperia is a quad 2-input AND gate IC with TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V), operating from 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply, rated for -40 °C to +125 °C, and housed in a DHVQFN14 (SOT762-1) package with 0.5 mm pitch and thermal-enhanced exposed pad. It delivers 14 ns typical propagation delay (tpd) at VCC = 4.5 V and CL = 50 pF, enabling reliable logic gating in industrial control timing paths.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT08BQ,115 datasheet, 74HCT08BQ,115 pinout, 74HCT08BQ,115 application, or 74HCT08BQ,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include TTL-level input compatibility, 14-terminal QFN thermal performance, guaranteed operation up to +125 °C, and low dynamic power dissipation (CPD = 20 pF).
Technical Context
This device implements four independent 2-input AND gates using silicon-gate CMOS technology. Each gate features clamp diodes on all inputs, permitting safe interface to voltages exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors. The logic function strictly follows Boolean AND behavior: output HIGH only when both inputs are HIGH.
It complies with JEDEC JESD8C (2.7–3.6 V) and JESD7A (2.0–6.0 V) standards and meets HBM ESD robustness >2000 V and CDM >1000 V. Input thresholds are fixed for TTL compatibility-VIH ≥ 2.0 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V across full temperature and supply range-ensuring interoperability with legacy 5 V logic families.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Quad 2-input AND gate; each gate outputs HIGH only if both inputs are HIGH-enables basic combinational logic routing and enable control. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V; ensures compatibility with standard 5 V TTL and mixed-voltage systems without level translation. |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 14 ns typical (VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF); supports reliable 35 MHz maximum toggle frequency in synchronous logic paths. |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max (VCC = 4.5–5.5 V); guarantees clean recognition of TTL logic levels without marginal switching. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C; qualified for under-hood automotive modules, industrial PLC I/O, and high-ambient embedded controllers. |
| Power Dissipation Cap | Ptot = 500 mW (Tamb ≤ 98 °C), derating 9.6 mW/K above; enables stable operation in thermally constrained QFN layouts. |
| ESD Robustness | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V; reduces risk of field failure during handling and board assembly in uncontrolled environments. |
Pinout & Package
DHVQFN14 (SOT762-1) package: 2.5 × 3.0 × 0.85 mm body, no leads, 14 terminals, 0.5 mm pitch, thermal-enhanced exposed pad (non-soldered or floating/grounded per design). Pin 1 index area located at top-left corner of top view.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A | Data input A for gates 1–4 | Accept TTL-level signals; clamp diodes allow overvoltage tolerance with series resistor. |
| 1B, 2B, 3B, 4B | Data input B for gates 1–4 | Independent second input per gate; identical electrical specs to A inputs. |
| 1Y, 2Y, 3Y, 4Y | Data output Y for gates 1–4 | CMOS push-pull output capable of ±4 mA drive at VCC = 4.5 V; fan-out ≥ 10 LS-TTL loads. |
| GND (Pin 7) | Ground reference | Primary 0 V return path; must be low-impedance for noise immunity and timing stability. |
| VCC (Pin 14) | Positive supply | Connects to 4.5–5.5 V rail; requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling within 3 mm. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible inputs | VIH ≥ 2.0 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V at 4.5–5.5 V supply-eliminates need for external level shifters when interfacing with 74LS or microcontroller GPIO. |
| Wide temperature range | Specified from -40 °C to +125 °C-supports deployment in engine control units, motor drives, and outdoor industrial gateways. |
| Input clamp diodes | Integrated protection allows safe connection to signals up to VCC + 0.5 V using series current-limiting resistors-reduces external protection component count. |
| Low dynamic power | CPD = 20 pF-limits switching power to <1 μW/MHz per gate at 5 V, critical for battery-backed or thermally limited designs. |
| High noise immunity | Typical noise margin >1.2 V at VCC = 5 V-prevents false triggering in electrically noisy factory automation environments. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Automotive Body Control Module |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Enabling discrete sensor inputs (e.g., door open/closed, seatbelt latch) before feeding into MCU GPIO. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Logic-level gating and signal conditioning; performs real-time AND of dual safety interlocks before actuation. Use Value: Ensures dual-redundant input validation with sub-20 ns latency-meets ASIL-B functional safety timing constraints for non-critical control paths. |
Use Scenario: Combining ignition status and HVAC request signals to enable blower motor driver enable line. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Combinational logic gate; synchronizes two asynchronous vehicle bus-derived signals into single hardware-enable path. Use Value: Eliminates software polling overhead and provides deterministic hardware-level response <25 ns-improves system responsiveness and reduces MCU load. |
| Medical Infusion Pump Control | Test Equipment Signal Routing |
Use Scenario: Validating simultaneous "start" button press and door-closed confirmation before initiating fluid delivery. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Safety-critical interlock gate; output directly drives enable input of motor driver IC. Use Value: Provides fail-safe hardware-enforced AND condition with guaranteed -40 °C to +125 °C operation-reduces reliance on firmware-based checks. |
Use Scenario: Gating DUT clock or trigger signals based on test mode select lines in automated test fixtures. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Signal path selector; routes or blocks high-speed digital stimuli using static control bits. Use Value: Delivers consistent 14 ns propagation delay across temperature-enables precise timing alignment in production test sequences. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT08PW,118 | TSSOP14 package (4.4 mm width, 0.65 mm pitch); same electrical specs and temp range. | Better suited for manual rework or prototyping due to gull-wing leads; lower thermal conductivity than DHVQFN. | Select when board assembly uses reflow-only processes with optical inspection capability and thermal management is less critical. |
| SN74HCT08DR | SOIC-14 (3.9 mm width, 1.27 mm pitch); TI-manufactured; VIH/VIL identical but tpd = 18 ns typical at 5 V. | Compatible with legacy through-hole or wave-solder processes; slightly higher propagation delay affects high-speed timing margins. | Choose for drop-in replacement in existing SOIC footprints where thermal performance is secondary to mechanical compatibility. |
Compared with 74HCT08BQ,115, the PW variant offers easier visual inspection but reduced thermal efficiency, while the SN74HCT08DR trades packaging flexibility for 4 ns slower propagation-making the BQ optimal for space-constrained, thermally demanding, high-speed industrial nodes.

FAQ
Is the exposed thermal pad on the DHVQFN14 package required to be soldered?
No. Per Nexperia's datasheet, the exposed pad (terminal 1 index area) has no electrical or mechanical requirement to be soldered. If connected, it must remain electrically floating or tied to GND-never left as a floating metal island that could couple noise or cause solder voiding issues.
Can 74HCT08BQ,115 operate reliably at 3.3 V supply?
No. The 74HCT08BQ,115 is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation. At 3.3 V, input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V) become marginal, and output drive strength degrades significantly-use 74HC08BQ,115 instead for 2.0–6.0 V wide-supply operation including 3.3 V.
What is the maximum output current per pin, and how does it affect fan-out?
The absolute maximum output current is ±25 mA per pin, but recommended steady-state drive is ±4.0 mA (VOH/VOL tested at this level). At ±4 mA, it can drive ≥10 LS-TTL loads-exceeding this current risks violating VOL/VOH specs and increases propagation delay variation across temperature.
Does this device support hot insertion or live I/O connection?
No. While input clamp diodes provide overvoltage tolerance, the device lacks explicit hot-swap protection circuitry. Connecting inputs to active signals before VCC ramp-up may exceed IIK limits (±20 mA), risking latch-up or parametric shift-always power VCC before applying input signals.
