The SN74HC08IPWRG4Q1 is a Texas Instruments quad 2-input AND gate from the Automotive, AEC-Q100 qualified 74HC logic family. It integrates four independent AND gates, each with two inputs, in a single 14-TSSOP package. Operating from a 2V to 6V supply, this device is designed for automotive and industrial temperature environments spanning -40°C to 85°C.
What the propagation delay and output drive mean for your timing budget
Maximum propagation delay is 17 ns at 6V with a 50 pF load — this sets the upper bound on the data path latency through one gate stage. For a 5V rail the delay is typically shorter, but the 17 ns ceiling is what you budget for worst-case timing closure across temperature and supply tolerance. Driving a heavily loaded bus or long trace may require a buffer. Quiescent current is a maximum of 2 µA across the full supply range — the gate draws negligible supply current when the outputs are static, making it suitable for battery-backed or always-on modules in the vehicle.
Input logic thresholds and supply flexibility
The input logic-low threshold spans 0.5V to 1.8V, and the high threshold spans 1.5V to 4.2V, both referenced to the supply. This means the gate interprets a 1.8V signal as a logic low at a 2V supply, but the same 1.8V signal is a logic high at a 5V supply — the threshold scales with VCC per the 74HC family characteristic.
