SN74ACT32PWR

Overview

The SN74ACT32PWR is a quad 2-input positive-OR gate from the Texas Instruments 74ACT logic family. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and features four independent OR gates, each with two inputs. The device provides a low-level output current of 24 mA and a high-level output current of -24 mA. Propagation delay is specified at 10 ns. It functions reliably across an operating temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C and utilizes a TSSOP-14 surface-mount package.

Feature Summary

• Contains four independent 2-input OR gates for complex logic implementation
• Provides high drive capability with 24 mA output current sourcing and sinking
• Ensures fast signal processing with 10 ns propagation delay
• Compatible with standard TTL input levels due to ACT series design

Applications

• Digital logic circuit design requiring multiple OR operations
• Signal routing and selection in electronic systems
• Interface circuits between different logic families
• General-purpose digital control applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including suffixes such as 'PW' for package type and 'R' for reel quantity when ordering. Confirm RoHS compliance status and specific manufacturing lot details if required for your application. Ensure the supplier provides official datasheets matching the SN74ACT32PWR designation to guarantee component authenticity and performance specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad OR gate configuration is needed with moderate speed and high drive strength. It is suitable for 5 V logic systems requiring compatibility with TTL inputs. Consider alternative packages like SOIC or smaller footprints if space constraints differ. Verify that the 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply range aligns with your system power rails before finalizing the design choice.

Part Context

This device belongs to the SN74ACT series, which offers CMOS performance with TTL-compatible inputs. It serves as a standard logic gate solution for general-purpose digital applications. The TSSOP-14 package allows for compact surface-mount assembly on printed circuit boards. It is widely used in consumer electronics, industrial controls, and computing equipment where reliable logic gating is essential.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other SN74ACT32 variants with different packaging, such as SN74ACT32D (SOIC) or SN74ACT32N (DIP). Cross-family replacements like SN74HC32 offer similar functionality but may have different drive strengths and switching speeds. Always verify pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics before substituting.
