Dual 4-input AND gate in 14-TSSOP — what it does and where it fits
The Texas Instruments SN74HC21PW is a dual 4-input AND gate from the 74HC series, in a 14-TSSOP (4.40 mm width) for surface-mount boards. It contains two independent 4-input AND functions, each output high only when all four inputs are high.
Quiescent current and output drive
Quiescent current sits at 2 µA max, making this gate negligible in the power budget for battery-backed or always-on logic. Each output can source or sink 5.2 mA, enough to drive a single standard CMOS load or a low-power LED indicator, but not intended for heavy fan-out beyond a few gate inputs.
