The NC7ST08M5X is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the NC7 series of logic gates offered by Fairchild Semiconductor. It specifically consists of a quad 2-input AND gate, which means it has four independent AND gates, and each gate can accept two input signals.
Key Features:
1. Low-power consumption: The NC7ST08M5X is designed to operate at ultra-low power levels, making it highly suitable for battery-powered devices and energy-efficient applications.
2. Wide operating voltage range: It operates within a broad voltage range, from 1.65V to 5.5V, allowing compatibility with a wide variety of power supply configurations.
3. High-speed operation: This IC offers fast propagation delays, enabling quick signal processing and data transmission. It is capable of functioning at a maximum frequency of several hundred megahertz, ensuring efficient performance in high-speed applications.
4. Schmitt-trigger inputs: The gate inputs employ Schmitt-trigger technology, which enhances noise immunity by providing hysteresis characteristics that help reject input signal noise and reduce false triggering.
5. ESD protection: The NC7ST08M5X is designed with integrated ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) protection circuitry, which safeguards the device against potential damage caused by electrostatic energy discharges during handling or operation
