The MC74VHCT08A is an advanced high speed CMOS 2-input AND gate fabricated with silicon gate CMOS technology.
It achieves high speed operation similar to equivalent Bipolar Schottky TTL while maintaining CMOS low power dissipation.
The VHCT inputs are compatible with TTL levels and can be used as a level converter for interfacing 3.3V to 5.0V.
The device has full 5V CMOS level output swings and provides protection for input and output structures to prevent device destruction caused by supply voltage-input/output voltage mismatch, battery backup, hot insertion, etc.
The internal circuit is composed of three stages, including a buffer output which provides high noise immunity and stable output.
The inputs tolerate voltages up to 7V, allowing the interface of 5V systems to 3V systems.
The device also has low power dissipation, balanced propagation delays, and is designed for 2V to 5.5V operating range.
It is also pin and function compatible with other standard logic families and has latchup performance that exceeds 300mA.
The device also has ESD performance and chip complexity information.
The logic diagram, pinout, ordering information, maximum ratings, recommended operating conditions, and DC electrical characteristics are also provided.
