Product details
Overview
74HCT08DB,118 from Nexperia is a quad 2-input AND gate logic IC with TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 5 V), 4.5–5.5 V supply range, and SO14 (SOT337-1) package. It delivers propagation delay of 14–36 ns across temperature (−40 °C to +125 °C) and supports industrial control signal routing, bus gating, and enable logic in microcontroller peripheral interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 74HCT08DB,118 datasheet, 74HCT08DB,118 pinout, 74HCT08DB,118 application, or 74HCT08DB,118 equivalent, this page provides verified pin functions, real-world timing behavior under 50 pF load, thermal derating curves for SO14, TTL-level interface compatibility, and validated alternatives for logic-level translation and board-space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent AND gates in a single monolithic CMOS structure with input clamp diodes enabling safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC when current-limiting resistors are used. Its TTL-compatible inputs accept standard 5 V logic levels while driving CMOS loads with VOH ≥ 3.98 V and VOL ≤ 0.26 V at IO = ±4 mA.
The SO14 package (SOT337-1) features 14 leads, 3.9 mm body width, and thermal characteristics requiring linear power derating above +100 °C (10.1 mW/K). Dynamic performance is specified with CL = 50 pF, using measurement points VM = 1.3 V for inputs and 0.1×VCC/0.9×VCC for outputs per JEDEC standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Quad 2-input AND gate - enables parallel Boolean conjunction of four independent signal pairs |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5 V TTL and mixed-voltage systems |
| Propagation Delay (tpd) | 14–36 ns @ VCC = 4.5 V, CL = 50 pF - defines maximum clock/data path latency in synchronous logic |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - guarantees reliable recognition of legacy TTL output levels |
| Output Drive | ±4.0 mA @ VOH/VOL - sufficient to drive multiple 74-series inputs or small capacitive loads |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for extended industrial and under-hood applications |
| ESD Protection | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - meets ANSI/ESDA/JEDEC JS-001 Class 2 and JS-002 Class C3 |
Pinout & Package
74HCT08DB,118 uses the SO14 (SOT337-1) plastic small outline package: 14-lead, 3.9 mm body width, 1.27 mm lead pitch, and surface-mount construction. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or index area; the package is not automotive-qualified.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A | Data Input A | First input of each AND gate (pins 1, 4, 9, 12); accepts TTL-level signals |
| 1B, 2B, 3B, 4B | Data Input B | Second input of each AND gate (pins 2, 5, 10, 13); clamped to prevent overvoltage damage |
| 1Y, 2Y, 3Y, 4Y | Data Output | AND result per gate (pins 3, 6, 8, 11); drives CMOS or TTL loads up to ±4 mA |
| GND | Ground Reference | Pin 7 - 0 V reference for all I/O and supply; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| VCC | Supply Voltage | Pin 14 - connects to regulated 4.5–5.5 V rail; decoupling capacitor required near pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-Compatible Inputs | Accepts standard 5 V TTL output levels without level-shifting circuitry |
| Input Clamp Diodes | Enables safe interface to voltages > VCC when series current-limiting resistors are used |
| High Noise Immunity | Guaranteed 400 mV noise margin at VCC = 5 V due to VIH/VIL separation and CMOS threshold stability |
| Latch-Up Robustness | Exceeds 100 mA per JESD78 Class II Level B - prevents destructive parasitic SCR activation |
| Wide Temp Range | Specified from −40 °C to +125 °C - supports operation in harsh industrial environments |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Microcontroller Peripheral Enable Logic |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Gating sensor data streams before transmission to a central controller in a programmable logic controller rack. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad AND gate acts as hardware-level channel selector, enabling/disabling four analog-to-digital converter outputs based on address decode lines. Use Value: Reduces software overhead by offloading enable/disable decisions to deterministic combinational logic with sub-36 ns response. |
Use Scenario: Controlling access to SPI peripherals (e.g., EEPROM, display driver) on an embedded ARM Cortex-M4 board. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides chip-select arbitration between two SPI masters sharing one peripheral bus, using AND logic on CS and clock-enable signals. Use Value: Eliminates bus contention risk and avoids firmware-based mutual exclusion delays, ensuring glitch-free peripheral handover. |
| Digital Audio Signal Routing | Legacy Bus Interface Translation |
|
Use Scenario: Muting individual audio DAC channels in a multi-zone home theater amplifier based on zone activation flags. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Each AND gate combines a fixed logic-high mute enable with a zone-specific control signal to generate per-channel mute strobes. Use Value: Enables zero-latency, hardware-synchronized muting without CPU intervention or interrupt latency penalties. |
Use Scenario: Interfacing a 5 V TTL UART transceiver to a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO bank with bidirectional level tolerance. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as unidirectional logic translator for control signals (RTS/CTS), leveraging TTL input thresholds and CMOS output swing. Use Value: Avoids dedicated level shifters by exploiting native 5 V-tolerant inputs and rail-to-rail 3.3 V–compatible outputs. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT08D,118 | Same logic function and electrical specs; packaged in SO14 (SOT108-1) instead of SSOP14 (SOT337-1) | SOT108-1 has wider 3.9 mm body vs. SOT337-1's 5.3 mm - impacts PCB layout density and reflow profile | Select for legacy board compatibility or where larger pad spacing eases assembly inspection |
| SN74HCT08DR | Texas Instruments part; identical VIH/VIL, tpd = 19 ns typ @ 5 V, CL = 50 pF; SO14 package (same footprint as SOT108-1) | Qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 3 (−40 °C to +85 °C) but not +125 °C - limits high-temp deployment | Choose when TI supply chain preference or automotive-adjacent qualification is prioritized over extended temperature range |
Compared with 74HCT08DB,118, the 74HCT08D,118 offers identical functionality in a more widely adopted SO14 variant, while SN74HCT08DR trades extended temperature support for automotive-aligned qualification - making the DB variant optimal for space-constrained industrial designs needing full −40 °C to +125 °C operation.

FAQ
Can 74HCT08DB,118 operate at 3.3 V supply?
No. The 74HCT08DB,118 is specified only for 4.5–5.5 V operation per its TTL-input design. At 3.3 V, VIH minimum (2.0 V) remains valid, but VOH drops below 2.4 V and propagation delay increases beyond specification - use 74HC08 or 74LVC08 for 3.3 V systems.
What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive reliably?
The 74HCT08DB,118 is characterized up to 50 pF load capacitance with guaranteed timing. Driving >50 pF increases propagation delay nonlinearly and may cause output rise/fall time degradation; for >100 pF, add a buffer stage or reduce trace length and stubs.
Is the SSOP14 (SOT337-1) package RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes. Nexperia confirms the 74HCT08DB,118 in SOT337-1 packaging meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is lead-free, with SnAgCu (SAC305) termination finish and halogen-free molding compound.
Does this device require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?
Yes. Unused inputs must be tied to VCC or GND via ≤1 kΩ resistor to prevent floating nodes, which cause increased ICC, noise susceptibility, and potential oscillation - especially critical in high-noise industrial environments.
