Quad 2-input AND gate in 14-SOIC — 74ALS logic for 5 V buses
The Texas Instruments SN74ALS08D packs four independent 2-input AND gates in a 14-SOIC package, running on a 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply. It is a standard 74ALS-series part, so it mates directly with 5 V TTL and other ALS/AS logic families on the same backplane. The 14 ns propagation delay at 5 V, 50 pF sets the timing closure window for address decoding, strobe generation, or any combinatorial glue logic where a clean AND function is needed without the faster (but higher-power) 74F or 74AC alternatives.
Output drive and input thresholds
Each gate sinks 8 mA and sources 400 µA. The 8 mA sink handles multiple standard TTL loads or a single low-current LED with a series resistor; the 400 µA source is typical for driving CMOS inputs or high-impedance bus receivers. Input low threshold is 0.8 V, high threshold is 2 V — standard 5 V TTL-compatible levels that guarantee noise margin against a 5 V rail.
Temperature grade and environment
Rated for 0°C to 70°C commercial temperature range. This suits indoor equipment, benchtop instrumentation, telecom line cards in conditioned racks, and general-purpose industrial control panels where the ambient stays within that band. Not specified for automotive or extended industrial environments.
Sourcing and lifecycle
The SN74ALS08D carries an active lifecycle status and is ROHS3 compliant. No last-time-buy pressure on this line.
