Product details
Overview
MC74LCX08DR2 from onsemi is a low-voltage CMOS quad 2-input AND gate operating from 1.65 V to 5.5 V, featuring 5.0 V-tolerant inputs for mixed-voltage interfacing, 24 mA balanced output drive at 3.0 V, and near-zero static supply current (10 µA), deployed in industrial control logic and mixed-supply digital interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MC74LCX08DR2 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOIC-14 package details, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options for voltage-level translation and TTL/LVCMOS logic interfacing.
Technical Context
The MC74LCX08DR2 implements four independent 2-input AND gates in a single monolithic IC, with TTL-compatible input thresholds and LVCMOS-compatible output swing. Its 5.5 V absolute maximum input voltage rating enables safe connection to legacy 5 V TTL outputs without level shifters.
Each gate exhibits matched propagation delay (4.0 ns max at 4.5–5.5 V) and low dynamic switching noise (VOLP ≤ 0.8 V at 3.3 V), supporting clean signal integrity in high-speed digital control paths while maintaining latchup immunity (>100 mA) and ESD robustness (>2000 V HBM).
Key Specifications

| Supply Voltage Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - supports direct integration into 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V systems without external regulators |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | −0.5 V to +6.5 V - allows reliable interfacing with 5 V TTL sources without clamping diodes or level translators |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24 mA at 3.0 V - sufficient to drive multiple LVTTL loads or moderate capacitive bus lines |
| Propagation Delay | 4.0 ns max at 4.5–5.5 V - enables operation in sub-250 MHz combinational logic paths |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 10 µA max - minimizes standby power in battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for extended industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | >2000 V - exceeds standard JEDEC requirements for handling and board-level reliability |

Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Mixed-Voltage Sensor Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Adding discrete logic gating to modular I/O cards in programmable logic controllers where field-side sensors operate at 5 V and controller core runs at 3.3 V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-translating AND gate enabling 5 V sensor enable signals to safely control 3.3 V FPGA-configurable I/O drivers. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete level shifters or dual-supply buffers, reducing BOM count and PCB area by 30% per channel. |
Use Scenario: Conditioning analog-to-digital converter (ADC) ready signals from 5 V temperature/humidity sensors before feeding into a 1.8 V microcontroller. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Input-synchronized AND gate ensuring ADC conversion start only when both sensor data valid and MCU ready flags are asserted. Use Value: Provides deterministic timing alignment with <4 ns skew across channels, preventing metastability in multi-sensor sampling. |
| Low-Power Remote Monitoring Node | Legacy Bus Signal Conditioning |
Use Scenario: Battery-powered environmental monitor using ultra-low-power MCU, requiring minimal active current during periodic sensor polling cycles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Enable-gating logic that activates sensor power rails only when MCU GPIO asserts both wake-up and permission signals. Use Value: Cuts average system sleep current to <1 µA by leveraging 10 µA ICC and zero-leakage inputs when disabled. |
Use Scenario: Retrofitting modern 3.3 V FPGAs into existing 5 V ISA or parallel printer port designs requiring handshake signal validation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Glue logic performing AND-based handshaking (e.g., STB ∧ ACK) between 5 V peripheral and 3.3 V host interface. Use Value: Maintains full 5 V signal integrity on bus side while delivering clean 3.3 V–compatible outputs to FPGA I/O banks. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC08APWR | Lower max VCC (3.6 V), no 5 V input tolerance; 24 mA drive at 3.3 V; identical SOIC-14 footprint | Requires external level shifting for 5 V inputs; suitable only in pure 3.3 V systems | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs mixed-voltage flexibility and 5 V legacy support is unnecessary |
| 74AHC08D,118 | Wider VCC range (2–5.5 V), but only 3.6 V input tolerant; 8 mA drive at 3.3 V; higher ICC (2 µA typical vs. 10 µA max) | Insufficient for direct 5 V TTL interfacing; lower drive limits fan-out in high-capacitance buses | Prefer for low-noise, low-power applications where 5 V compatibility is not required and layout space is constrained |
Compared with SN74LVC08APWR and 74AHC08D,118, the MC74LCX08DR2 uniquely combines 5.5 V input tolerance, 24 mA output strength, and sub-10 µA quiescent current-making it the only option among the three that supports drop-in replacement in mixed 3.3 V/5 V industrial control designs without redesigning level-shifting circuitry.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the MC74LCX08DR2 can tolerate?
The MC74LCX08DR2 supports DC input voltages up to +6.5 V, with a recommended VI specification of 5.5 V. This allows safe connection to 5 V TTL outputs without external protection, making the MC74LCX08DR2 ideal for mixed-voltage interface applications where legacy and modern logic coexist.
Does the MC74LCX08DR2 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?
Yes - unused inputs on the MC74LCX08DR2 must be tied to either VCC or GND to prevent floating states that increase ICC and risk oscillation. The datasheet explicitly warns against floating inputs for ICC reasons, and the MC74LCX08DR2 has no internal termination resistors.
What package type is used for the MC74LCX08DR2?
The MC74LCX08DR2 uses a 14-lead SOIC package (case 751A), with Pb-free finish and RoHS compliance. It is supplied in tape-and-reel format (2500 units per reel), and its 1.27 mm lead pitch is compatible with standard SMT assembly processes.
Can the MC74LCX08DR2 operate reliably at −40 °C?
Yes - the MC74LCX08DR2 is fully specified from −40 °C to +125 °C, with all key parameters (propagation delay, output drive, VIH/VIL thresholds) guaranteed across this extended industrial temperature range. This makes the MC74LCX08DR2 suitable for outdoor, automotive, and factory-floor deployments.
How does the MC74LCX08DR2 compare to standard 74HC08 in terms of power consumption?
The MC74LCX08DR2 draws a maximum of 10 µA quiescent current, versus ~2 µA typical but up to several hundred µA for 74HC08 under similar conditions due to higher input leakage and less optimized process. At 3.3 V, the MC74LCX08DR2 reduces static power by >95% compared to HC-family equivalents, directly lowering system-level standby consumption.
