Nexperia USA Inc. 74LVC08APW-Q100,11

Overview

74LVC08APW-Q100 from Nexperia is an automotive-qualified quad 2-input AND gate IC in TSSOP14 package, operating from 1.2 V to 3.6 V supply with 5 V tolerant inputs, enabling level translation between 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains in vehicle body control modules, infotainment interfaces, and ADAS sensor signal conditioning circuits.

For engineers reviewing the 74LVC08APW-Q100 datasheet, 74LVC08APW-Q100 pinout, 74LVC08APW-Q100 application, or 74LVC08APW-Q100 equivalent, this device supports AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification (-40 °C to +125 °C), delivers propagation delay as low as 2.3 ns at 3.3 V, and provides ESD robustness exceeding 2000 V HBM - critical for under-hood and dashboard electronics design validation.

Technical Context

This CMOS logic gate implements four independent AND functions with rail-to-rail input voltage tolerance up to 5.5 V, allowing direct interfacing with legacy 5 V microcontrollers while powered from modern 1.8 V or 3.3 V rails. Its static and dynamic characteristics are fully specified across -40 °C to +125 °C ambient range.

The device complies with JEDEC standards JESD8-7A, JESD8-5A, and JESD8-C/JESD36 for multiple VCC ranges, and features output skew ≤1.5 ns between any two gates - ensuring timing coherence in synchronous logic paths within automotive domain controllers.

FAQ

Is 74LVC08APW-Q100 pin-compatible with standard 74LVC08A variants?

Yes - the 74LVC08APW-Q100 uses the same TSSOP14 pinout (SOT402-1) as industrial 74LVC08A variants, including identical pin numbering and function mapping per datasheet section 5.1. No PCB redesign is needed when upgrading from non-automotive versions, provided thermal and qualification requirements are verified.

Can 74LVC08APW-Q100 drive a 50 pF load at 10 MHz while maintaining timing integrity?

Yes - with CPD = 10.5 pF and tpd = 2.3 ns typical at 3.3 V, the device dissipates <1.2 mW at 10 MHz with 50 pF load (calculated via PD = CPD × VCC² × fi × N). Output skew remains ≤1.5 ns, preserving setup/hold margins for downstream flip-flops in clocked logic chains.

What is the maximum allowable input voltage when VCC = 1.2 V?

The absolute maximum input voltage is +5.5 V regardless of VCC level, per Table 4 (VI input voltage min/max). This 5 V tolerance is maintained across the full 1.2 V–3.6 V supply range, enabling safe interfacing with higher-voltage peripherals even during brown-out conditions.

Does the GND pad on the TSSOP14 package require soldering?

No - the exposed pad (Pin 7) is electrically connected to GND but has no mechanical or electrical requirement to be soldered. If soldered, it must remain floating or tied to system ground; improper grounding may cause thermal or EMI issues. Refer to Nexperia application note AN10772 for recommended land pattern.
