Dual 4-input AND gate in 14-SOIC
The SN74HC21D is a dual 4-input AND gate from the 74HC family, supplied in a 14-SOIC package (0.154" body width, 3.90mm). It operates across a 2V to 6V supply range, making it a direct fit for 3.3V or 5V logic rails without a level translator. Each of the two gates has four inputs; the output drives up to 5.2mA in both high and low states. The quiescent current is 2µA max, so the part adds negligible static draw to a mixed-signal board.
Timing and temperature envelope
Propagation delay is 19ns at 6V with a 50pF load, which sets the timing floor for combinational paths in a 50pF net. Input logic thresholds scale with supply: low-level threshold is 0.5V to 1.8V, high-level is 1.5V to 4.2V. The wide hysteresis window means the gate tolerates slow edges from a mechanical switch or a long PCB trace.
Active production — no obsolescence pressure
The part is ROHS3 compliant and can be ordered against a BOM line without a lifecycle risk flag.
