7408 - Quad AND Gate

The 7408 is a quad 2-input AND gate integrated circuit (IC) in the 7400 series. It contains four independent AND gates, each with two inputs and one output. The IC operates using standard 5V power and is widely used in digital electronics for performing logical AND operations. It's known for reliability and compatibility with other TTL components.
