SN74AS832BN

Overview

The SN74AS832BN is a hex 2-input OR driver manufactured by Texas Instruments. It belongs to the AS logic series and features six independent OR gates with two inputs each, totaling twelve input lines and six output lines. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V. Key electrical parameters include a low-level output current of 20 mA, a high-level output current of -20 mA, and a propagation delay of 10 ns. It supports through-hole mounting in a PDIP-14 package and functions reliably within an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Feature Summary

• Hex configuration providing six independent 2-input OR logic functions
• High-speed operation capability with 10 ns propagation delay
• Robust push-pull output stage delivering 20 mA drive strength

Applications

• Digital signal processing circuits requiring fast logical OR operations
• Bus arbitration systems utilizing high-drive outputs
• General-purpose logic applications in industrial control environments

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'BN' against official Texas Instruments documentation to confirm exact packaging and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with standard 5V logic levels and check for RoHS compliance status in the latest datasheet revision before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed performance and strong output drive are required compared to standard ALS series devices. The AS series offers significantly faster switching speeds while maintaining similar pinouts to other 74-series logic families, facilitating easier design upgrades without major layout changes.

Part Context

This part is part of the SN74AS832A family of hex 2-input OR drivers. It shares functional similarities with the SN74ALS832AN but provides superior speed characteristics due to the Advanced Schottky technology. It serves as a high-performance alternative for designs needing rapid logical decision-making capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include SN74AS832BDW and SN74AS832BDWR from Texas Instruments. Verify pinout compatibility and package type differences when considering these alternatives.
