74ALVC132MTC

Overview

The Fairchild Semiconductor 74ALVC132MTC is a low voltage quad 2-input NAND gate featuring Schmitt trigger inputs. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.65V to 3.6V and includes 3.6V tolerant inputs and outputs. The device contains four independent logic circuits, each with two inputs. Maximum quiescent current is specified at 40 µA.

Feature Summary

• Integrates four independent 2-input NAND gates
• Inputs utilize Schmitt trigger characteristics for noise filtering
• Provides 3.6V tolerance on both input and output pins

Applications

• Digital signal processing systems requiring noise immunity
• Low voltage logic interfacing applications
• Microcontroller peripheral expansion circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer lot code and date code upon receipt to ensure component authenticity. Confirm that the package marking matches the 74ALVC132MTC designation exactly. Check for physical damage to the TSSOP leads before integration into the circuit design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low voltage NAND gate with hysteresis is required. Ensure the system supply voltage remains within the 1.65V to 3.6V operational range. Verify that the 3.6V I/O tolerance meets the interface requirements of connected devices.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ALVC series of advanced low voltage CMOS logic devices. It shares pin compatibility with standard 74ALVC00 configurations but adds Schmitt trigger functionality. The MTC suffix indicates a 16-pin TSSOP surface mount package suitable for space-constrained designs.

Replacement Considerations

The SN74LVC132A-Q1 from Texas Instruments offers similar automotive-grade specifications. Other equivalents include the 74VHC132MTC for higher speed requirements or the 74LVX132MTC for different voltage characteristics.
