The MM74HC08 AND gates are manufactured using an advanced silicon gate CMOS process, operating at speeds comparable to LS-TTL gates, with low power consumption of standard CMOS integrated circuits. The HC08 has buffered outputs for high noise immunity and is capable of driving 10 LS-TTL loads. The 74HC logic family is functionally and pin-out compatible with the standard 74LS logic family. All inputs are protected from electrostatic discharge damage by clamping internal diodes to VCC and ground.
