Each of the four independent gates takes two inputs and delivers a standard AND function. This is a part for designs that need a proven, readily available logic gate in a DIP footprint — think legacy industrial control boards, test equipment, breadboard prototypes, or any through-hole assembly where the 14-DIP form factor is already on the PCB. The 24mA symmetric output drive (source and sink) gives it enough muscle to drive multiple CMOS loads or short PCB traces without an external buffer. ## Supply range and temperature grade — the deployment envelope The -55°C to 125°C operating range qualifies it for military, avionics, satellite, and downhole instrumentation — environments where the commercial or industrial temperature grades won't hold. At 125°C junction, quiescent current stays at a maximum 4 µA, so the static power penalty is negligible even in hot enclosures. ## Propagation delay and output drive — what the numbers mean for your bus Output current is rated 24 mA for both high and low states. That drives a standard CMOS load bank or a low-current LED through a series resistor. ## Lifecycle and compliance — active, no obsolescence risk The CD74AC08E is listed as Active in TI's product portfolio and is ROHS3 compliant. There is no NRND notice, no last-time-buy window, and no announced end-of-life. This is a current-production part with standard lead times through the distribution channel — no date-code provenance worries, no surplus-market gamble. For designs that require a pin-compatible through-hole AND gate in a 14-DIP, this is the part to specify. The 74AC family has been in production for decades and TI continues to manufacture it; there is no second-source urgency for an active, widely available logic gate.","metaTitle":"CD74AC08E Texas Instruments AND Gate","metaDescription":"CD74AC08E quad 2-input AND gate from TI 74AC series. 1.5V–5.5V supply, -55°C to 125°C, 24mA output drive, 8.7ns delay at 5V.

The AC variant also operates over the full -55°C to 125°C range versus the HC08's -40°C to 85°C. Both are quad 2-input AND gates in the same 14-DIP footprint, so they are pin-compatible — the choice comes down to speed, drive strength, and temperature requirements."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/texas-instruments/CD74AC08E","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/texas-instruments/CD74AC08E when reusing this data.
