Product details
Overview
MC74HC08AFL2 from onsemi is a quad 2-input AND gate in high-performance silicon-gate CMOS technology, pinout-compatible with LS08 TTL logic. It operates from 2.0 V to 6.0 V, delivers ±25 mA output drive per pin, features 10 LSTTL load drive capability, and supports industrial temperature range (–55 °C to +125 °C). It serves as a level-translating combinational logic element in digital control subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the MC74HC08AFL2 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified package mapping (SOIC-14), confirmed propagation delay (13 ns @ 6.0 V), input/output voltage compatibility (0 to VCC), quiescent current (≤40 µA), and validated alternatives for logic-level AND gate replacement in mixed-voltage systems.
Technical Context
The MC74HC08AFL2 implements four independent AND gates in a single monolithic CMOS IC, each with true AND logic function Y = A·B. Its inputs accept both CMOS and LSTTL-compatible signals (with pull-up resistors), and outputs directly interface to CMOS, NMOS, and TTL loads without level-shifting circuitry.
It complies with JEDEC Standard No. 7A, includes ESD protection circuitry, and requires all unused inputs tied to VCC or GND. The device exhibits high noise immunity, low input current (±0.1 µA max), and guaranteed AC performance across –55 °C to +125 °C at supply voltages from 2.0 V to 6.0 V.

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 with identical logic function, same SOIC-14 package, but wider propagation delay (19 ns @ 6 V) and higher ICC (100 µA max). | Valid for cost-sensitive industrial designs where <20 ns timing margin exists; not AEC-Q100 qualified. | Select when sourcing from TI-authorized channels and timing budget allows ≥6 ns extra delay. |
| 74VHC08M | ON Semiconductor's higher-speed VHC variant: 7.5 ns @ 5 V, but narrower VCC range (2.0–5.5 V) and no NLV automotive option. | Suitable for high-speed data path gating in 3.3 V systems; lacks extended temperature support beyond +105 °C. | Choose for speed-critical 3.3 V applications where industrial temp range suffices and automotive qualification is unnecessary. |
Compared with SN74HC08DR and 74VHC08M, the MC74HC08AFL2 offers superior temperature range (–55 °C to +125 °C), lower quiescent current (40 µA vs. 100 µA), and direct AEC-Q100-qualified variants-making it optimal for automotive and harsh-environment embedded control where reliability and wide-VCC operation are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for MC74HC08AFL2?
The MC74HC08AFL2 supports a DC supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 6.0 V, with absolute maximum rating of –0.5 V to +7.0 V on VCC. Operation above 6.0 V is outside recommended conditions and may compromise reliability or parametric guarantees. The MC74HC08AFL2 is rated for continuous operation up to 6.0 V across its full temperature range.
Is MC74HC08AFL2 compatible with 3.3 V logic systems?
Yes, MC74HC08AFL2 is fully compatible with 3.3 V logic systems. Its recommended operating range includes 3.3 V, and it guarantees VIH ≥ 2.1 V and VIL ≤ 0.9 V at that supply, providing >1.2 V noise margin. Inputs accept standard 3.3 V CMOS levels, and outputs swing rail-to-rail (VOL ≤ 0.26 V, VOH ≥ 3.0 V), ensuring interoperability with other 3.3 V logic families.
Does MC74HC08AFL2 require external pull-up resistors on inputs?
MC74HC08AFL2 inputs are CMOS-compatible and do not require pull-up resistors when driven by CMOS or HC-series outputs. However, when interfacing with open-collector or LSTTL outputs (e.g., 74LSxx), external pull-up resistors (typically 1–10 kΩ to VCC) are required to ensure valid high-level input voltage. Unused inputs on MC74HC08AFL2 must be tied to VCC or GND-never left floating.
What is the propagation delay of MC74HC08AFL2 at 5 V supply?
At VCC = 5.0 V and TA = 25 °C, the typical propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) of MC74HC08AFL2 is 15 ns, with a guaranteed maximum of 19 ns over the full industrial temperature range (–55 °C to +125 °C). This value is measured with CL = 50 pF and input rise/fall times ≤6 ns, per the official AC characteristics table in the datasheet.
Can MC74HC08AFL2 replace 74LS08 in existing designs?
Yes, MC74HC08AFL2 is explicitly designed as a pinout-compatible and functionally equivalent replacement for 74LS08. It matches the same 14-pin SOIC layout and truth table, while offering improved noise immunity, lower power consumption, and wider supply voltage range. When replacing 74LS08, verify that input pull-ups are retained if driving LS outputs, and confirm timing margins accommodate the slightly different propagation profile.
