Nexperia USA Inc. 74LVC08APW,112

Overview

74LVC08APW,112 from Nexperia is a quad 2-input AND gate in TSSOP14 package, operating from 1.2 V to 3.6 V supply, featuring overvoltage-tolerant inputs (up to 5.5 V), Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity, and guaranteed operation from −40 °C to +125 °C. It enables level translation between 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains in industrial control I/O expansion and embedded interface bridging.

For engineers reviewing the 74LVC08APW,112 datasheet, 74LVC08APW,112 pinout, 74LVC08APW,112 application, or 74LVC08APW,112 equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage tolerance (5.5 V), propagation delay (≤4.8 ns at 3.6 V), output drive strength (±24 mA), thermal rating (−40 °C to +125 °C), and TSSOP14 footprint compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.

Technical Context

This device implements four independent CMOS AND gates with Schmitt-trigger inputs-each gate accepts dual inputs (nA/nB) and produces one active-high output (nY). The input structure supports mixed-voltage interfacing: 3.3 V system outputs can safely drive its inputs even when VCC = 1.2 V–3.6 V, and inputs tolerate up to 5.5 V regardless of supply.

Its static and dynamic behavior is fully characterized across three voltage bands (1.2 V, 1.65–1.95 V, 2.3–3.6 V), with propagation delay as low as 2.3 ns (typ.) and output skew ≤1.5 ns at 3.0–3.6 V. Input leakage remains ≤±20 μA at VCC = 3.6 V and VI = 5.5 V or GND.

FAQ

Can 74LVC08APW,112 operate with VCC = 1.2 V while accepting 5 V inputs?

Yes. Its inputs are overvoltage tolerant up to 5.5 V independent of VCC, and the device is fully specified down to 1.2 V supply. At VCC = 1.2 V, VIH is 1.08 V min and VOL is ≤0.12 V max, ensuring valid logic levels even at minimum supply.

What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive without exceeding timing specs?

The 74LVC08APW,112 is characterized with CL = 30 pF (for VCC ≤ 2.7 V) and CL = 50 pF (for VCC ≥ 2.7 V) in its dynamic specifications. Driving >50 pF may increase propagation delay beyond the 4.8 ns max limit at 3.6 V, especially at temperature extremes.

Does this part require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?

No. Unused inputs should be tied HIGH or LOW directly to VCC or GND. The Schmitt-trigger inputs prevent floating states, and input leakage is ≤±20 μA-eliminating need for biasing resistors and reducing board area and BOM cost.

Is the TSSOP14 package (SOT402-1) compatible with standard reflow profiles for lead-free assembly?

Yes. The 74LVC08APW,112 in SOT402-1 is qualified for IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1) and withstands peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C for 10 seconds, matching standard Pb-free soldering processes.
