Product details
Overview
DM74ALS08SJ from Fairchild Semiconductor is a quad 2-input AND gate IC in EIAJ TYPE II SOP-14 package, operating at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, with propagation delays as low as 3 ns (tPHL) and 4 ns (tPLH), rated for 0°C to +70°C industrial temperature range, and delivering 8 mA sink current - used in digital logic control, address decoding, and enable gating in TTL-based systems.
For engineers reviewing the DM74ALS08SJ datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include guaranteed AC performance over full VCC/temperature range, compatibility with Schottky and LS-TTL logic families, and verified 50 pF load switching behavior per gate.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent AND gates using advanced oxide-isolated, ion-implanted Schottky TTL process technology. Each gate accepts two TTL-compatible inputs and produces a single active-high output with defined VIH (2.0 V min), VIL (0.8 V max), VOH (VCC − 2 V min), and VOL (0.4 V max at IOL = 4 mA).
It operates under recommended conditions of VCC = 4.5–5.5 V and TA = 0°C to +70°C, with ICC ranging from 1.3 mA (all outputs HIGH) to 4.0 mA (all outputs LOW). Input clamp voltage is −1.5 V, and output drive capability supports −112 mA peak sink current under short-circuit conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures stable operation across standard TTL supply tolerances |
| tPHL / tPLH | 3 ns / 4 ns typical - enables high-speed combinational logic in ≤25 MHz clock domains |
| IOL / IOH | 8 mA / −0.4 mA - drives standard TTL loads without external buffering |
| VIH / VIL | 2.0 V min / 0.8 V max - guarantees interoperability with legacy 74LS and 74S families |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to +70°C - qualified for commercial and industrial ambient environments |
| CL Load | 50 pF - AC specs validated at this capacitive load, matching common PCB trace + input capacitance |
Pinout & Package
DM74ALS08SJ is housed in a 14-lead Small Outline Package (SOP), EIAJ TYPE II, 5.3 mm wide, with gull-wing leads and JEDEC-compliant footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, 12 | Input (A/B per gate) | Eight total inputs across four AND gates; TTL-level compatible, with IIL = −0.1 mA at VIL = 0.4 V |
| 3, 6, 10, 13 | Output (Y per gate) | Four independent AND outputs; each sinks up to 8 mA while maintaining VOL ≤ 0.4 V |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference for all logic and power paths; required for noise margin and DC bias stability |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply input; must be decoupled locally to suppress switching transients affecting all gates |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar AND gate logic applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALS08DR | SOIC-14 (JEDEC MS-012), identical AC/DC specs, same Fairchild die; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging and orderable suffix | No functional or timing difference; suitable for automated SMT assembly where reel format required | Select SN74ALS08DR when volume production demands tape-and-reel delivery and same footprint |
| 74LS08D | Higher propagation delay (15 ns max vs. 14 ns max), lower IOL (8 mA same), but wider VCC tolerance (4.75–5.25 V); manufactured by Nexperia/ON Semi | Acceptable in non-critical timing paths; not recommended for designs requiring <10 ns worst-case delay budget | Choose 74LS08D only if cost sensitivity outweighs speed requirement and legacy LS family sourcing is preferred |
Compared with SN74ALS08DR and 74LS08D, the DM74ALS08SJ offers identical logic performance and pinout but is optimized for standard SOP-14 manual or semi-automated placement, with guaranteed 3–4 ns typical delays critical for tight-timing legacy TTL systems.

The DM74ALS08SJ belongs to the 74ALS (Advanced Low-Power Schottky) logic family, engineered to deliver superior speed-power trade-offs versus 74LS while maintaining full compatibility with earlier TTL families.
FAQ
What is the maximum propagation delay for DM74ALS08SJ at worst-case conditions?
The DM74ALS08SJ has a maximum tPHL of 10 ns and tPLH of 14 ns over the full operating range (VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, TA = 0–70°C, CL = 50 pF). These values are guaranteed in the datasheet's Switching Characteristics table and reflect worst-case performance across voltage and temperature extremes - critical for timing closure in synchronous TTL designs using the DM74ALS08SJ.
Is DM74ALS08SJ pin-compatible with 74LS08 in the same SOP-14 package?
Yes, DM74ALS08SJ is functionally and pin-for-pin compatible with 74LS08 in EIAJ TYPE II SOP-14 (M14D) package. Both share identical pin assignments, logic function, and DC interface levels. However, DM74ALS08SJ delivers faster propagation delays (3–4 ns typical vs. 15 ns typical for 74LS08), making it a direct drop-in upgrade where timing margin is constrained - confirmed by Fairchild's datasheet Feature section.
What is the recommended decoupling for DM74ALS08SJ in high-speed operation?
Each DM74ALS08SJ should use a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed within 2 mm of pins 14 (VCC) and 7 (GND), with short, low-inductance traces. For boards with multiple DM74ALS08SJ devices, add one 4.7 µF tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor per 5–10 ICs near the power entry point. This mitigates simultaneous switching noise that could degrade the DM74ALS08SJ's 3–4 ns edge fidelity.
Does DM74ALS08SJ support operation at 3.3 V supply?
No, DM74ALS08SJ is specified only for VCC = 4.5–5.5 V. Its internal Schottky TTL structure requires minimum 4.5 V to ensure proper transistor saturation and guaranteed VOH/VOL levels. Operating below 4.5 V risks undefined output states and increased propagation delay variability. For 3.3 V systems, consider modern CMOS alternatives like SN74LVC08A - not a substitute for DM74ALS08SJ in 5 V TTL environments.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the DM74ALS08SJ SOP package?
The DM74ALS08SJ in EIAJ TYPE II SOP-14 (M14D) package has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 120°C/W, as documented in the Absolute Maximum Ratings section of the Fairchild datasheet. This value assumes standard JEDEC test board conditions (single-layer copper, 1 in² pad); actual θJA may improve with enhanced PCB copper area or thermal vias beneath the package.
