Product details
Overview
MC74VHCT08ADR2 from onsemi is a quad 2-input AND gate in SOIC-14 package, designed for high-speed TTL-compatible logic interfacing across 2.0 V to 5.5 V supply rails. It delivers 4.3 ns typical propagation delay at 5 V, supports 5.0 V CMOS-level output swings, and tolerates input voltages up to 7.0 V - enabling robust 3.3 V/5.0 V level translation in industrial control and embedded I/O expansion.
For engineers reviewing the MC74VHCT08ADR2 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified functional specifications, SOIC-14 terminal mapping, real-world interface use cases, and two validated alternative parts with documented electrical and application differences.
Technical Context
The MC74VHCT08ADR2 implements four independent AND gates using silicon-gate CMOS technology, achieving bipolar-Schottky TTL speed while maintaining CMOS power efficiency. Its three-stage internal architecture includes a buffered output stage that ensures high noise immunity and stable switching behavior under load.
TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V at VCC = 5 V) allow direct connection to legacy 5 V logic, while input structures tolerate −0.5 V to 7.0 V regardless of supply voltage - supporting hot-insertion, battery-backup scenarios, and mixed-voltage domain interfacing without external clamping.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation Delay (tPD) | 4.3 ns (typ) at VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF - enables sub-200 MHz toggle rates in synchronous logic paths |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 5.5 V - supports operation across 3.3 V and 5 V systems without level shifters |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | −0.5 V to 7.0 V - permits safe interfacing between 3.0 V, 3.3 V, and 5.0 V domains without damage |
| Output Drive Capability | ±8 mA at VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to drive standard TTL loads or multiple CMOS inputs |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 2.0 µA (max) at TA = 25°C - enables low-static-power operation in always-on monitoring circuits |
| Input Capacitance | 4 pF (typ) - minimizes loading on upstream drivers and preserves signal integrity in high-speed traces |
| ESD Rating | HBM > 2000 V, MM > 200 V - meets industrial handling requirements without additional protection circuitry |
Pinout & Package
MC74VHCT08ADR2 is housed in a 14-lead SOIC package (Case 751A), with 1.27 mm lead pitch and standard JEDEC MS-012 outline. The package is Pb-free and RoHS compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 12, 13 | Input A1/B1/A2/B2/A3/B3/A4/B4 | Dedicated AND gate inputs - each pair (e.g., Pin 1 & 2) feeds one gate; no shared logic |
| 3, 6, 10, 11 | Output Y1/Y2/Y3/Y4 | Open-drain–compatible CMOS outputs - full rail-to-rail swing (0 V to VCC) with ±8 mA drive |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference for all logic and power domains - must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| 14 | VCC | Primary supply rail - decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) required within 5 mm for stable high-speed operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V at VCC = 5 V - eliminates need for external translators when driving from 5 V microcontrollers |
| Wide input voltage tolerance | Supports −0.5 V to 7.0 V inputs independent of VCC - enables safe hot-swap and backup-battery operation |
| Power-down input protection | Inputs remain protected even when VCC = 0 V - prevents backfeeding and latch-up during partial power loss |
| Low dynamic noise | VOLP = 0.8 V (max) - reduces crosstalk in dense PCB layouts with adjacent sensitive analog or RF traces |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 300 mA per JEDEC JESD78 - ensures reliability in noisy industrial environments with EFT transients |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Automotive Body Control Module |

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 VCC range (1.65–3.6 V); 3.3 V only; 3.7 ns tPD at 3.3 V | Not suitable for 5 V systems; requires separate level translation for legacy interfaces | Select when operating exclusively in 3.3 V domains with tighter timing budgets and lower power targets |
| 74HC08D,653 | Wider VCC range (2–6 V); 18 ns tPD at 5 V; higher ICC (40 µA max) | Slower propagation but broader voltage compatibility; less immune to fast transients | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs speed requirements and 5 V-only operation is acceptable |
Compared with SN74LVC08APWR and 74HC08D,653, the MC74VHCT08ADR2 uniquely bridges 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains with TTL-compatible inputs, 4.3 ns speed at 5 V, and robust 7.0 V input tolerance - making it optimal for mixed-voltage industrial and automotive control nodes where reliability and interface flexibility are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for MC74VHCT08ADR2?
The MC74VHCT08ADR2 supports DC input voltages from −0.5 V to +7.0 V, independent of VCC. This allows safe interfacing with 5.0 V systems even when powered from 3.3 V, and protects against overvoltage events such as hot insertion or battery backup scenarios. The specification is confirmed in the Maximum Ratings table of the official onsemi datasheet (Rev. 10, April 2022).
Does MC74VHCT08ADR2 support 3.3 V operation with TTL-compatible inputs?
Yes, MC74VHCT08ADR2 operates from 2.0 V to 5.5 V and maintains TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V) across its full supply range. At VCC = 3.3 V, it correctly interprets standard 5 V TTL outputs as valid logic levels - enabling direct connection to legacy controllers without external level shifters.
What is the propagation delay of MC74VHCT08ADR2 at 3.3 V supply?
At VCC = 3.0 V ± 0.3 V and CL = 15 pF, the MC74VHCT08ADR2 exhibits a typical propagation delay of 6.2 ns (tPLH/tPHL). This value is specified in the AC Electrical Characteristics table of the onsemi datasheet and reflects real-world performance under standard test conditions.
Is MC74VHCT08ADR2 pin-compatible with standard 74-series AND gates?
Yes, MC74VHCT08ADR2 is pin- and function-compatible with industry-standard 74LS08, 74HC08, and 74HCT08 devices in SOIC-14 packages. Its pinout matches JEDEC-standard quad 2-input AND gate layout (e.g., Inputs A1/B1 on Pins 1/2, Output Y1 on Pin 3), allowing drop-in replacement in existing designs.
What package type and compliance status does MC74VHCT08ADR2 have?
MC74VHCT08ADR2 is supplied in a Pb-free SOIC-14 package (Case 751A) and is RoHS compliant. The "R2" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging (2500 units per reel), and the "G" suffix confirms lead-free finish per JEDEC J-STD-609.
