It combines four independent OR gates in a single 14-TSSOP package, each capable of sinking or sourcing 24 mA. The headline rating is the 2.8 ns maximum propagation delay at 3.3 V with a 50 pF load — that's fast enough to keep up with a 100 MHz+ clocked bus without adding a full clock cycle of skew. The 1.65 V to 3.6 V supply range lets it bridge 1.8 V and 3.3 V logic domains directly, so it can sit on a mixed-voltage backplane or a battery-powered sensor board without a level translator.
Supply range and temperature — where this gate fits
The 1.65 V minimum supply means this part works with 1.8 V nominal logic (like many modern MCUs and FPGAs) while still tolerating a 3.3 V rail. It is not rated for the full automotive under-hood temperature range (125°C), so if the BOM calls for AEC-Q100 or a 125°C junction, the 74LVC siblings (SN74LVC08ADR or SN74LVC10AD) are the next step up in temperature grade.
Quiescent current and output drive
The 10 µA maximum quiescent current is low enough that this gate can be left powered on a battery-backed rail without draining the cell. The 24 mA symmetric output drive is strong for a 1.65 V to 3.6 V part — it can drive a string of downstream CMOS inputs or a short PCB trace without a buffer. The input logic thresholds (low at 0.7 V to 0.8 V, high at 1.7 V to 2 V) are TTL-compatible, so it interfaces cleanly with older 5 V-tolerant logic families when the supply is 3.3 V.
Sourcing reality for the BOM line
This is a current-production standard logic part, widely stocked across distribution.
