Product details
Overview
MC74HC08AFEL from onsemi is a quad 2-input AND gate in high-performance silicon-gate CMOS technology, operating across 2.0–6.0 V supply, delivering 10 LSTTL load drive capability, propagation delay as low as 13 ns at 6.0 V, and input leakage current ≤±1.0 µA - used for digital logic level translation and combinational control in industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the MC74HC08AFEL datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include supply voltage range compatibility (2.0–6.0 V), LSTTL load drive strength, propagation delay vs. VCC, thermal resistance (116 °C/W in SOIC-14), and Pb-free TSSOP-14 package compliance.
Technical Context
The MC74HC08AFEL implements four independent 2-input AND gates with identical pinout to LS08, enabling drop-in replacement in legacy TTL designs. Its CMOS inputs accept standard CMOS outputs directly and interface to LSTTL with pullup resistors.
Each gate exhibits rail-to-rail output swing, supports operation from –55 °C to +125 °C, and maintains guaranteed VOH ≥ 5.9 V and VOL ≤ 0.1 V at 6.0 V supply with ≤20 µA load - critical for noise-immune logic interfacing in mixed-voltage systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Quad 2-input AND gate (Y = A·B per channel) |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 6.0 V - enables direct interface with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level shifters |
| Propagation Delay (max) | 13 ns at VCC = 6.0 V - supports >30 MHz toggle rates in synchronous logic paths |
| Output Drive | 10 LSTTL loads - sufficient to drive multiple legacy TTL inputs without buffering |
| Input Leakage Current | ≤ ±1.0 µA at TA = 125 °C - ensures stable logic states in low-power standby modes |
| Operating Temperature | –55 °C to +125 °C - qualified for extended industrial and under-hood automotive environments |
| ESD Rating | >2000 V HBM - provides robust handling during board assembly and field service |
Pinout & Package
MC74HC08AFEL is housed in a Pb-free, RoHS-compliant TSSOP-14 (Case 948G) package with 0.65 mm pitch, 4.4 mm width, and 5.0 mm length - optimized for high-density PCB layouts and automated SMT assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| 1, 2, 4, 5, 9, 10, 12, 13 | Input (A1/B1/A2/B2/A3/B3/A4/B4) | CMOS-compatible inputs accepting 0–VCC logic levels; require external pullup for LSTTL compatibility |
| 3, 6, 8, 11 | Output (Y1/Y2/Y3/Y4) | Push-pull CMOS outputs capable of sourcing/sinking ≥2.4 mA while maintaining VOH ≥ 4.4 V / VOL ≤ 0.26 V at 4.5 V |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference for all logic and power domains; must be low-impedance connection to minimize ground bounce |
| 14 | VCC | Primary power supply pin; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 5 mm for stable high-speed switching |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High noise immunity | CMOS threshold symmetry and >40% noise margin at 5 V - suppresses false triggering in electrically noisy industrial enclosures |
| JEDEC Std. 7A compliance | Ensures interoperability with industry-standard logic families and test equipment interfaces |
| Chip complexity | 24 FETs / 6 equivalent gates - minimal silicon area enables low-cost, high-yield production |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HC08DR | TI part in SOIC-14; identical logic function but higher max ICC (100 µA vs. 40 µA at 125 °C); no AEC-Q100 qualification | Not rated for automotive under-hood use; suitable for commercial-grade instrumentation where extended temperature is not required | Select SN74HC08DR only if SOIC-14 footprint is mandatory and AEC-Q100 compliance is unnecessary. |
| 74HC08D,118 | Nexperia part in SOIC-14; same VCC range and pinout, but propagation delay 19 ns @ 6 V (vs. 13 ns for MC74HC08AFEL); JEDEC 7A compliant | Lower speed margin limits use in >25 MHz clock-gated paths; acceptable for static control logic in consumer appliances | Choose 74HC08D,118 when cost sensitivity outweighs 46% propagation delay penalty and TSSOP-14 layout is not feasible. |
Compared with SN74HC08DR and 74HC08D,118, the MC74HC08AFEL delivers superior high-temperature performance (40 µA ICC max at 125 °C), faster propagation (13 ns), and automotive qualification - making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally demanding industrial and automotive control nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for MC74HC08AFEL?
The MC74HC08AFEL is fully specified from –55 °C to +125 °C, with DC and AC parameters guaranteed across this full industrial temperature range. At +125 °C, quiescent supply current remains ≤40 µA and propagation delay increases to 19 ns at 6.0 V - validated per JEDEC JESD22-A108.
Does MC74HC08AFEL support direct connection to LSTTL outputs?
No - MC74HC08AFEL inputs are compatible with standard CMOS outputs. To interface with LSTTL outputs, external pullup resistors (typically 1–10 kΩ to VCC) are required to ensure VIH ≥ 1.5 V at 2.0 V supply. The MC74HCT08A variant supports direct LSTTL compatibility without pullups.
What package type is used for MC74HC08AFEL?
MC74HC08AFEL uses the TSSOP-14 (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package) with case outline 948G, 0.65 mm lead pitch, and Pb-free matte tin terminations. It measures 5.0 mm × 4.4 mm × 1.2 mm and is optimized for high-density surface-mount assembly.
Is MC74HC08AFEL AEC-Q100 qualified?
No - MC74HC08AFEL is not AEC-Q100 qualified. For automotive applications requiring AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (–40 °C to +125 °C), the pin-compatible MC74HC08ADTR2G−Q variant is available, marked with "−Q" suffix and certified per AEC-Q100 Rev H.
What is the typical power dissipation of MC74HC08AFEL at 5 V?
At 5.0 V and 25 °C, typical no-load dynamic power consumption is calculated as PD = CPD × VCC² × f + ICC × VCC. With CPD = 20 pF per buffer and ICC = 1.0 µA, total power is ~0.5 mW at 1 MHz and ~5 mW at 10 MHz - confirmed via onsemi Application Note AND9075/D.
