STMicroelectronics 74LVQ08M Quad 2-Input AND Gate

The 74LVQ08M is a high-speed CMOS Quad 2-Input AND Gate IC designed and manufactured by STMicroelectronics. This integrated circuit is part of the LVQ family, which operates at a lower voltage range, ensuring reduced power consumption and increased performance in a variety of digital applications. The 74LVQ08M is specifically engineered to address the needs of systems requiring low-voltage operation and high-speed interfacing.

Constructed with advanced silicon-gate CMOS technology, the 74LVQ08M provides a robust and efficient solution for performing the logical AND function across four independent 2-input gates. The device is capable of operating with a power supply range of 2.0V to 3.6V, making it particularly suitable for interfacing with 3.3V logic devices and for use in portable and battery-operated products where power efficiency is critical.

Key features of the 74LVQ08M include:

• Low voltage operation: 2.0V to 3.6V
• High-speed performance: propagation delay time (t_pd) is typically only 5.2ns at 3.3V
• Power-down protection on inputs and outputs
• Low quiescent current: 20μA maximum
• 24mA output drive capability at 3.3V
• Pin and function compatible with other standard logic families
• ESD performance: HBM > 2000V, MM > 200V

The device is packaged in a 14-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package, ensuring a compact footprint for space-constrained applications. The 74LVQ08M's inputs are high-impedance when V_CC is at 0V, which prevents excessive current flow through the device, contributing to its low power consumption characteristics.

Applications for the 74LVQ08M are diverse, ranging from portable electronics, computing, and telecommunication systems to industrial controls and automotive electronics. Its ability to interface with other logic families and its compliance with JEDEC standards make it a versatile choice for designers looking to integrate reliable logic functions into their circuits with minimal power draw.

STMicroelectronics' commitment to quality and reliability is evident in the 74LVQ08M, making it a preferred choice for engineers and designers seeking a dependable low-voltage AND gate solution.
