Working Principle

The 74VHC08PW-Q100J is a two-channel, four-input NAND gate. It is powered by a 5V or 10V power supply and can operate up to a maximum voltage of 20V. Its delay times are 8ns maximum @ 5V and 7ns maximum @ 10V. The device is comprised of two independent 4-input NAND gates, each composed of a pair of high-speed N-channel MOSFETs (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors), a diode and an output pull-up resistor.

The basic principle of operation for the 74VHC08PW-Q100J is Negated-AND (NAND). NAND logic requires that all inputs be true in order for the output to be false. If any one input is false, the output will be true. The logic of the gate is based on the states of the four inputs and is determined by the following equation: OUT = A ⋀ B⋀C⋀D . The NAND gate can also be used in an inverter configuration, wherethe output is the inverse of the inputs. In this case, the logic equation is: OUT = ! A ⋀ B⋀C⋀D .

The 74VHC08PW-Q100J is a great device for digital switching applications and logic gate applications, because it provides a reliable, high speed, low power and customizable logic. Its ability to operate with a wide supply voltage range makes it highly suitable for all sorts of digital switching, chaining and logic gate applications.
