Nexperia USA Inc. 74LV08D/C5J

Overview

74LV08D/C5J from Nexperia is a quad 2-input CMOS AND gate operating from 1.0 V to 5.5 V supply, featuring TTL-level input compatibility at VCC = 2.7–3.6 V, −40 °C to +125 °C temperature range, and SO14 (SOT108-1) package with 14 leads. It enables logic-level translation and signal gating in low-voltage digital control subsystems such as industrial I/O modules and sensor interface boards.

For engineers reviewing the 74LV08D/C5J datasheet, 74LV08D/C5J pinout, 74LV08D/C5J application, or 74LV08D/C5J equivalent, key selection criteria include supply voltage flexibility (1.0–5.5 V), guaranteed operation down to 1.0 V, input clamping diodes for overvoltage-tolerant interfacing, and SO14 packaging suitable for automated PCB assembly and thermal reliability in extended-temperature environments.

Technical Context

This device implements four independent 2-input AND gates in a single monolithic CMOS structure, with inputs protected by integrated clamp diodes enabling safe interfacing to signals exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors. Each gate exhibits identical logic behavior per IEC 60617-12 and IEEE/IEC 91-1 standards.

It supports mixed-voltage system design via dual-voltage tolerance: inputs accept TTL levels (0.8 V VIH min, 0.3 V VIL max) at VCC = 2.7–3.6 V, while static and dynamic performance-including propagation delay (7 ns typ. at VCC = 3.3 V, CL = 15 pF) and output drive (±6 mA at VCC = 3.0 V)-is fully specified across −40 °C to +125 °C.

FAQ

Can 74LV08D/C5J operate reliably at 1.2 V supply?

Yes. The device is fully specified and guaranteed functional at VCC = 1.2 V, with VIH = 0.9 V min and VIL = 0.3 V max across −40 °C to +85 °C. Propagation delay increases to 45 ns typical at this voltage, but logic correctness and rail-to-rail output swing are maintained per datasheet Table 6 and Table 8.

Does 74LV08D/C5J require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?

No. Unused inputs must be tied to VCC or GND to prevent floating states and excessive ICC. The datasheet explicitly prohibits leaving inputs unconnected due to CMOS input structure susceptibility to noise-induced shoot-through current; no internal pull resistors are present.

What is the maximum capacitive load the outputs can drive while maintaining timing specs?

The dynamic characteristics (Table 7) are measured with CL = 15 pF. For reliable timing compliance, total load capacitance-including PCB trace, probe, and downstream input capacitance-must not exceed 30 pF. At CL = 50 pF, propagation delay increases by ~3× and power dissipation rises significantly per CPD = 10 pF formula.

Is 74LV08D/C5J pin-compatible with older 74HC08 or 74LS08 packages?

Yes, the SO14 (SOT108-1) footprint matches JEDEC MS-012 standard, making it mechanically pin-compatible with 74HC08D and 74LS08N. However, electrical behavior differs: LV logic has lower drive strength, wider VCC range, and input clamping absent in HC/LS families-requiring validation of voltage thresholds and timing margins in replacement designs.
