SN74HC132N

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74HC132N is a quad Schmitt-trigger NAND gate manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V and features a propagation delay of 14 ns. The device provides low-level output current of 5.2 mA and high-level output current of -5.2 mA. It functions reliably across an operating temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C. The component utilizes a PDIP-14 through-hole package.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Integrates four independent two-input NAND gates with Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity
• Supports high-speed CMOS logic operation compatible with standard digital systems
• Provides robust output drive capability suitable for interfacing with various loads

Inverter Gates Applications

• Signal conditioning and waveform shaping in digital circuits
• Noise filtering for input signals in microcontroller interfaces
• Pulse generation and timing control applications

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and package type against the required datasheet specifications before procurement. Confirm that the PDIP-14 through-hole format matches the target PCB footprint. Ensure the industrial temperature rating aligns with the operational environment requirements. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number to avoid confusion with surface-mount variants or different logic families.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when Schmitt-trigger action is required to clean noisy digital signals. The HC series offers compatibility with standard TTL logic levels while maintaining CMOS power efficiency. Consider the PDIP-14 package only if through-hole assembly is mandated by the design constraints. Evaluate the 2 V to 6 V supply range to ensure it meets the system voltage requirements.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74HC132 family of quad positive-NAND gates with Schmitt-trigger inputs. It is distinct from surface-mount versions like the SN74HC132DR which use SOIC packages. The N suffix specifically denotes the plastic dual-in-line package configuration. It serves as a fundamental building block for digital logic designs requiring hysteresis.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

The CD74HC132ME4 is a related variant but uses an SOIC-14 surface-mount package and has a wider temperature range. Direct pin-to-pin replacement requires verifying the package type difference. Other HC-series NAND gates lack the Schmitt-trigger feature and are not functionally equivalent.
