Detailed Description

High-speed CMOS logic device implementing four independent 2-input AND gates. The 74HC family supports operation over 2 V to 6 V supplies and offers low static power with fast switching. The BQ suffix indicates a compact QFN-style package (NXP DHVQFN-14). Category: Integrated Circuits (ICs). Sub-category in this catalog: Specialized ICs. Typical use is general-purpose digital gating, logic combining, and signal qualification in embedded and industrial systems.

Key Features

Quad 2-input AND gate (4 channels in one IC)

CMOS 74HC logic family for fast switching and low power

Wide supply range: typically 2.0 V to 6.0 V

Balanced rise/fall times and good noise margins

Inputs are CMOS-level compatible; outputs are push-pull

Broad operating temperature range (see datasheet for exact limits)

ESD-protected inputs and RoHS-compliant construction

Multiple package options available in the family; BQ is the compact QFN

Key Advantages

Simple, proven logic function that is easy to design in

Small footprint saves PCB area and enables dense layouts

Low power consumption helps reduce heat and extend battery life

Multi-sourced function for supply chain flexibility

Stable long-term availability and mature process technology

7,685 units available from Y-IC for quick fulfillment (subject to change)

Cost-effective way to implement logic gating without FPGA or microcontroller overhead

Packaging

Type: QFN-style NXP DHVQFN-14 (package code BQ)

Case / Vendor reference: 831

Material: Molded epoxy plastic body; copper leadframe; matte-tin plated leads; lead-free, RoHS compliant

Size: compact square body, approximately 3 mm × 3 mm with low profile height (see datasheet for exact mechanical dimensions)

Pin count and pitch: 14 pins; fine-pitch perimeter leads (typical DHVQFN pitch ~0.5 mm; confirm in datasheet)

Pin configuration overview: four AND gates with paired inputs (A1/B1, A2/B2, A3/B3, A4/B4) and outputs (Y1–Y4), plus VCC and GND; exact pinout depends on the DHVQFN-14 mapping — verify with the datasheet before layout

Thermal characteristics: low-profile QFN helps dissipate heat through the PCB copper; follow recommended solder pad sizes and reflow profile for best thermal and mechanical reliability; consult datasheet for thermal resistance and derating

Electrical properties: CMOS family; typical propagation delay in single-digit nanoseconds at 5 V; low static current; output drive suitable for standard digital loads; see datasheet for VOH/VOL, input thresholds, and timing
