The 74LS series of integrated circuits (ICs) was one of the most popular logic families of transistor-transistor logic (TTL) logic chips. 74LS series is a bipolar, low-power Schottky IC. 74LS08 Quad 2-input AND Gate contain four independent 2-input AND gates. AND gates simple works as giving output HIGH when both of its inputs are HIGH.
74LS08 Features
- Four Independent AND Gates
- Standard Pin Configuration
- Fast Switching Times
- Operating Temperature up to 70°C
- Standard TTL Switching Voltages
