SN74HC132NE4

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74HC132NE4 is a commercial-grade quadruple 2-input NAND gate with Schmitt-trigger inputs manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V and supports an ambient temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. The device features buffered inputs, balanced CMOS push-pull outputs, and significant power reduction compared to LSTTL logic ICs. It supports fanout up to 10 LSTTL loads and includes ESD protection ratings of ±2000 V (HBM) and ±1000 V (CDM).

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• CMOS Schmitt-trigger inputs provide hysteresis for tolerance to slow or noisy signals.
• Balanced CMOS push-pull outputs allow the device to sink and source similar currents.
• Buffered inputs support fanout up to 10 LSTTL loads.

Inverter Gates Applications

• Alarm / tamper detect circuit
• S-R latch

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'E4' against the manufacturer's current documentation to confirm compliance with RoHS standards and lead finish specifications. Ensure the procurement channel sources directly from authorized distributors to guarantee authenticity and traceability of the component.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring noise immunity due to its Schmitt-trigger input architecture. It is suitable for applications needing low static power consumption while maintaining compatibility with LSTTL logic levels. Verify that the operating environment remains within the specified -40°C to +85°C commercial temperature range.

Inverter Gates Part Context
