Product details
Overview
MC74HC08AFELG from onsemi is a quad 2-input AND gate in high-performance silicon-gate CMOS technology, operating from 2.0 V to 6.0 V supply, delivering 10 LSTTL load drive capability with propagation delay as low as 13 ns at 6.0 V, and used for digital logic level translation and signal gating in industrial control and embedded interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MC74HC08AFELG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified pin mapping, JEDEC-compliant DC/AC specifications, TSSOP-14 package details, and validated alternative options for logic-level AND function implementation.
Technical Context
The MC74HC08AFELG implements four independent AND gates in a single monolithic CMOS IC, with inputs compatible with standard CMOS outputs and pullup-enabled compatibility with LSTTL outputs. Its architecture supports rail-to-rail input voltage range (0 V to VCC) and guarantees noise immunity per JEDEC Std. 7A.
Each gate features symmetrical tPLH/tPHL propagation delays and matched output transition times (tTLH/tTHL), with input leakage current ≤ ±1.0 µA and quiescent supply current ≤ 40 µA across –55 °C to +125 °C operating temperature.

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 | SOIC-14 package, identical AC/DC specs, same 2–6 V VCC range, but not AEC-Q100 qualified | Suitable for commercial-grade industrial boards where automotive qualification is unnecessary | Select SN74HC08DR when cost-sensitive non-automotive designs prioritize SOIC footprint over TSSOP density |
| MC74HC08ADTR2G | Same die, same TSSOP-14 package, identical marking "HC08A", but supplied in 2500-unit tape-and-reel vs. MC74HC08AFELG's 250-unit tray | Identical electrical and thermal performance; differs only in packaging format and order quantity | Choose MC74HC08ADTR2G for automated SMT production requiring reel-fed placement; MC74HC08AFELG suits prototyping and low-volume assembly |
Compared with SN74HC08DR, MC74HC08AFELG offers identical logic performance in a smaller TSSOP-14 footprint and shares qualification lineage with AEC-Q100 variants; versus MC74HC08ADTR2G, it delivers the same functionality in a tray-packaged form optimized for manual or semi-automated insertion.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for MC74HC08AFELG?
The MC74HC08AFELG supports a DC supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 6.0 V, with absolute maximum rating of +6.5 V. Operation above 6.0 V is outside recommended conditions and may compromise reliability or parametric performance per the datasheet's Maximum Ratings table.
Does MC74HC08AFELG support direct connection to LSTTL outputs?
Yes, MC74HC08AFELG inputs are compatible with Standard CMOS outputs and, when used with pullup resistors, also interface directly to LSTTL outputs. This dual compatibility is explicitly confirmed in the device's datasheet introduction and functional description.
Is MC74HC08AFELG pin-compatible with the 74LS08?
Yes, MC74HC08AFELG is identical in pinout to the 74LS08, as stated in the datasheet's first paragraph. All 14 pins - including VCC, GND, and the four A/B/Y signal pairs - occupy identical positions in the TSSOP-14 package.
What is the propagation delay of MC74HC08AFELG at 5 V supply?
At VCC = 5.0 V and TA ≤ 25 °C, the MC74HC08AFELG exhibits a maximum propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) of 16 ns. This value degrades to 19 ns at ≤ 85 °C and 22 ns at ≤ 125 °C per the AC Characteristics table.
Can unused inputs on MC74HC08AFELG be left floating?
No - unused inputs on MC74HC08AFELG must be tied to a valid logic level (either GND or VCC) as specified in Note 3 of the Recommended Operating Conditions table. Floating inputs risk increased ICC, erratic switching, and ESD susceptibility due to CMOS input structure.
