Philips Semiconductors Product specification
Dual 4-input AND gate 74HC/HCT21
FEATURES
• Output capability: standard
• ICC category: SSI
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 74HC/HCT21 are high-speed Si-gate CMOS devices
and are pin compatible with low power Schottky TTL
(LSTTL). They are specified in compliance with JEDEC
standard no. 7A.
The 74HC/HCT21 provide the 4-input AND function.

Notes
1. C
PD
is used to determine the dynamic power dissipation (PD in µW):
PD=CPD× V

× fO) where:
fi= input frequency in MHz
fo= output frequency in MHz
CL= output load capacitance in pF
VCC= supply voltage in V
∑ (CL× V

× fo) = sum of outputs
2. For HC the condition is VI= GND to V

Note to HCT types
The value of additional quiescent supply current (∆I
CC
) for a unit load of 1 is given in the family specifications.
To determine ∆ICC per input, multiply this value by the unit load coefficient shown in the table below.
