Instructions for Use:

1. Power Supply:

   • Ensure the supply voltage (V_CC) is within the range of 4.75V to 5.25V.
   • Connect the ground (GND) pin to a stable 0V reference.

2. Input Signals:

   • Apply input signals (V_IL, V_IH) that meet the specified voltage levels to ensure proper logic levels.
   • Ensure input signals do not exceed V_CC or go below GND to avoid damage.

3. Output Signals:

   • The output low voltage (V_OL) should be less than 0.5V when sourcing up to 16mA.
   • The output high voltage (V_OH) should be at least 2.4V when sinking up to 0.4mA.

4. Current Handling:

   • Do not exceed the maximum output sink current (I_OL) of 16mA or the maximum output source current (I_OH) of 0.8mA to prevent damage to the device.

5. Propagation Delay:

   • The typical propagation delay time (t_pd) is 9ns at 25°C. This can vary with temperature and supply voltage.

6. Power Dissipation:

   • Each gate can dissipate up to 10mW of power. Ensure adequate heat dissipation if operating near this limit.

7. Handling Precautions:

   • Handle the SN74LS08N with care to avoid static discharge, which can damage the device.
   • Store the device in anti-static packaging when not in use.

8. Mounting and Soldering:

   • Follow recommended soldering profiles to avoid thermal stress on the device.
   • Ensure proper alignment and secure mounting to the PCB to prevent mechanical stress.
