CD74AC32E

Inverter Gates Overview

The CD74AC32E is a quad 2-input OR gate manufactured by Texas Instruments, belonging to the 74AC logic series. It features four independent logic channels within a single package. The device operates on a supply voltage range of 1.5V to 5.5V and supports through-hole mounting in a 14-PDIP (0.300 inch) package. It provides high output drive capability with 24mA source and sink currents. Propagation delay is specified at 9.5ns under typical conditions of 5V supply and 50pF load. The component functions reliably across an extended industrial temperature range from -55°C to +125°C.

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required package style and RoHS compliance status. Confirm that the supplier provides official datasheets and quality certifications. Check for any recent product change notifications regarding material composition or manufacturing site changes. Ensure the component is sourced from authorized distributors to guarantee authenticity and traceability throughout the supply chain.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring multiple OR gates in a single package. Consider the AC series speed and power characteristics relative to HC or HCT alternatives. Evaluate the 14-PDIP package constraints against available PCB real estate. Verify that the 24mA output current meets the driving requirements of downstream components without additional buffering.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the Texas Instruments 74AC family of high-speed CMOS logic devices. The 74AC series offers significantly faster switching speeds compared to standard 74LS counterparts while maintaining lower power consumption. The CD prefix indicates commercial grade temperature rating, though this specific variant supports extended ranges. It serves as a fundamental building block for combinational logic design in digital electronics.
