74VCX132M

Inverter Gates Overview

The Fairchild Semiconductor 74VCX132M is a low-voltage quad two-input NAND gate featuring Schmitt trigger inputs. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.4 V to 3.6 V and provides 3.6 V tolerant inputs and outputs. The device utilizes advanced CMOS technology for low power dissipation and high noise immunity. It is housed in a 14-pin SOIC package.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Quad two-input NAND logic function with Schmitt trigger inputs
• Low voltage operation compatible with 1.4 V to 3.6 V supplies
• 3.6 V tolerant I/O structure for mixed-voltage interfacing

Inverter Gates Applications

• Mixed-voltage digital signal processing interfaces
• Battery-powered portable electronic devices
• Noise-sensitive logic circuit applications

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source, as Fairchild Semiconductor assets were acquired by ON Semiconductor. Confirm RoHS compliance status and current production availability, as legacy components may be discontinued or subject to last-time buy notices. Ensure the package variant matches the required PCB footprint.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when low-voltage operation below standard 3.3 V thresholds is required alongside noise immunity provided by Schmitt triggers. It serves as a suitable interface between lower voltage logic domains and 3.6 V tolerant systems. Verify that the propagation delay characteristics meet the specific timing requirements of the target application circuit.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the VCX series of low-voltage CMOS logic gates. It shares functional compatibility with other 74-series NAND gates but is optimized for reduced supply voltages. The Schmitt trigger input configuration distinguishes it from standard non-triggered NAND variants like the 74VCX00.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

The MM74HC132M offers pin-compatible functionality but operates at higher voltages. The MC74LVX132 provides similar low-voltage performance under ON Semiconductor branding. Verify electrical specifications and package dimensions before substituting.
