Quad 2-input AND gate for 2V–5.5V logic rails
The Texas Instruments SN74LV08ADR is a quad 2-input AND gate from the 74LV low-voltage CMOS family. It operates across a 2V to 5.5V supply range.
7.9 ns propagation delay — timing margin for 5V buses
At 5V and 50 pF load, the SN74LV08ADR delivers a maximum propagation delay of 7.9 ns. That is fast enough for most 20–50 MHz clocked interfaces without creating hold-time violations. The 74LV family's lower dynamic power versus the original 74HC series is the trade-off: you get roughly half the quiescent current at 20 µA max, which matters in battery-backed or power-budgeted designs.
12 mA output drive — what it can and cannot do
Each output sources or sinks 12 mA. That is sufficient to drive a standard CMOS logic input, a low-current LED indicator, or a short PCB trace.
Active lifecycle — no LTB risk for new BOMs
The SN74LV08ADR carries an Active product status with ROHS3 compliance. There is no last-time-buy notice or end-of-life signal on this ordering code. For dual-sourcing flexibility, the SN74LV00APWR (quad 2-input NAND) shares the same 74LV family and package but changes the logic function — verify the truth table before substituting. The SN74LVC08ADR is a lower-voltage, higher-drive alternative in the same footprint if the supply rail drops below 2V.
