SN74HC132DRE4

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74HC132DRE4 is a quad two-input NAND gate integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments. It belongs to the 74HC series and features Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2V to 6V and supports surface-mount installation in a 14-SOIC package. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum static current of 2 µA, output currents of ±5.2mA, and propagation delays ranging from 14ns to 21ns depending on voltage and load conditions. It functions reliably across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Quad two-input NAND logic gates with Schmitt-trigger inputs
• Wide operating voltage range supporting 2V to 6V supplies
• High noise immunity due to hysteresis at input thresholds
• Surface-mount packaging compatible with standard PCB assembly

Inverter Gates Applications

• Signal conditioning for noisy digital environments
• Pulse width modulation circuits
• Frequency division and timing applications
• Debouncing switches in digital interfaces

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the E4 suffix indicates lead-free composition compliant with RoHS standards. Confirm the SOIC-14 package dimensions match design constraints. Ensure the manufacturer source is Texas Instruments to guarantee performance specifications. Check datasheet revisions for any updates to electrical limits or thermal resistance values before finalizing procurement.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when Schmitt-trigger action is required for clean signal transitions in low-power CMOS designs. The HC series offers speed comparable to LS TTL but with lower power consumption. Verify that the 2V minimum supply voltage meets system requirements. Consider the 14-SOIC footprint for space-constrained surface-mount layouts requiring robust noise rejection capabilities.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part is a specific variant of the SN74HC132 family, distinguished by the DRE4 suffix which typically denotes tape-and-reel packaging and lead-free construction. It shares functional compatibility with other SN74HC132 variants while adhering to specific environmental compliance standards set by the manufacturer for global distribution channels.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include SN74HC132DR and SN74HC132N. Verify pinout compatibility and package type (SOIC vs DIP) before substitution. Ensure replacement parts meet the same voltage and temperature specifications.
