Product details
Overview
NC7ST08L6X from Fairchild Semiconductor is a single 2-input CMOS AND gate with TTL-compatible inputs, designed for level translation and logic interfacing in space-constrained digital systems. It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, delivers ±2 mA output drive, achieves 6 ns typical propagation delay at 5 V/15 pF, and consumes <1 µA quiescent current. It is used in portable instrumentation control signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the NC7ST08L6X datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include microPak package footprint compatibility, TTL-to-CMOS input interface capability, low-power static operation, and 5 V logic-level output swing compliance.
Technical Context
The NC7ST08L6X implements a single 2-input AND function using advanced silicon-gate CMOS technology, enabling TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max) while maintaining CMOS output characteristics. Its high-noise-immunity design uses high-gain circuitry to reduce sensitivity to input edge rate variations.
It supports rail-to-rail output swing (VOL ≤ 0.26 V at IOL = 2 mA, VOH ≥ 4.18 V at IOH = −2 mA) and features inherent ESD protection diodes on all inputs and output referenced to VCC and GND. Operating temperature range is −40°C to +85°C with guaranteed performance across 4.5–5.5 V supply.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Single 2-input AND gate (Y = A · B) |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5 V digital systems |
| Propagation Delay | 6 ns typical at VCC = 5.0 V, CL = 15 pF - enables use in sub-100 MHz timing paths |
| Output Drive | ±2 mA - sufficient for driving multiple 74HCT inputs or short PCB traces |
| Quiescent Current | <1 µA at VCC = 5.5 V - critical for battery-powered standby modes |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-compatible (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) - allows direct connection to legacy TTL outputs |
| ESD Protection | Inherent diode protection on all pins to VCC/GND - eliminates need for external TVS in most board-level designs |
Pinout & Package
The NC7ST08L6X is housed in a 6-lead MicroPak™ leadless package (JEDEC MO-220, 1.0 mm body width), requiring solder paste stencil and reflow-compatible land pattern per Fairchild's recommended layout (0.22 mm pad width, 0.95 mm pitch).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Input A | Active-high logic input; accepts TTL-compatible voltage levels |
| 2 | Input B | Active-high logic input; electrically identical to Pin 1 |
| 3 | No Connect | Internally unconnected; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice |
| 4 | Ground (GND) | Reference return path for all internal circuitry and I/O |
| 5 | Output Y | CMOS-compatible push-pull output; drives HIGH/LOW based on AND truth table |
| 6 | Supply (VCC) | Positive power rail; decoupling capacitor required within 3 mm of this pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-small MicroPak package | 1.0 mm wide, 6-lead leadless footprint - reduces board area by >40% vs. SC70-5 |
| High noise immunity | High-gain internal circuitry minimizes false triggering from slow or noisy input edges |
| Balanced output drive | ±2 mA symmetric sourcing/sinking - simplifies termination and bus loading analysis |
| TTL-to-CMOS interface capability | Inputs meet VIH/VIL thresholds of 74LS/74F families - eliminates need for level-shifter ICs |
| Low dynamic power | 6 pF power dissipation capacitance (CPD) - limits ICCD increase under high-frequency switching |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 2-input AND gate applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC1G08DBVR | 3.3 V optimized (1.65–5.5 V), higher IOH/IOL (±32 mA), 5-pin SOT-23 package | Requires level-shifting for pure 5 V TTL input sources; better suited for mixed-voltage SoC interfaces | Select when interfacing to 3.3 V FPGAs or when higher drive strength is needed for capacitive loads >30 pF |
| 74AUP1G08GW,125 | Lower VCC range (0.8–3.6 V), ultra-low ICC (<0.9 µA), 5-pin SC-88 package | Not TTL-compatible; VIH = 0.65 × VCC - incompatible with 5 V input sources without external resistor divider | Select for battery-powered 1.8 V/2.5 V systems where 5 V input tolerance is unnecessary |
Compared with SN74LVC1G08DBVR and 74AUP1G08GW,125, the NC7ST08L6X uniquely supports direct 5 V TTL input interfacing in a 1.0 mm microPak footprint, making it optimal for retrofitting legacy 5 V logic while minimizing PCB real estate.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for the NC7ST08L6X?
The NC7ST08L6X is rated for continuous operation from −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This range is validated per the Recommended Operating Conditions table in the official datasheet, and junction temperature must not exceed 150°C under worst-case power dissipation. Derating applies above +70°C ambient depending on PCB copper area and airflow.
Does the NC7ST08L6X require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its inputs?
No, the NC7ST08L6X does not require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on inputs A or B. Its TTL-compatible inputs have defined VIH and VIL thresholds (2.0 V and 0.8 V respectively), and unused inputs must be actively held HIGH or LOW per datasheet Note 2 - floating inputs are prohibited and may cause excessive ICC or metastability.
Can the NC7ST08L6X drive a 50 pF capacitive load reliably?
Yes, the NC7ST08L6X can drive a 50 pF capacitive load reliably: AC Electrical Characteristics specify tPLH/tPHL ≤ 20 ns and tTLH/tTHL ≤ 31 ns at CL = 50 pF and VCC = 5.0 V. Output drive capability (±2 mA) and low CPD (6 pF) ensure stable edge rates without overshoot or ringing on properly terminated traces.
Is the NC7ST08L6X pin-compatible with other TinyLogic variants like NC7ST32 or NC7ST86?
No, the NC7ST08L6X is not pin-compatible with NC7ST32 (dual 2-input OR) or NC7ST86 (2-input XOR), despite sharing the same MicroPak-6 package outline. Pin assignments differ: NC7ST08L6X uses Pins 1/A, 2/B, 3/NC, 4/GND, 5/Y, 6/VCC, whereas NC7ST32 assigns Pins 1/A1, 2/B1, 3/Y1, 4/GND, 5/A2, 6/VCC - functional and physical mapping is unique per device.
What is the purpose of the NC (No Connect) pin on the NC7ST08L6X?
The NC pin (Pin 3) on the NC7ST08L6X is internally unconnected and serves no electrical function. Per Fairchild's layout guidance, it may be left floating or tied to GND to improve thermal conduction and mechanical stability during reflow. It must never be connected to VCC or driven by external circuitry, as this violates absolute maximum ratings.
