SN74HC32N

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74HC32N is a quadruple 2-input positive-OR gate manufactured by Texas Instruments in a 14-pin PDIP package. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 6 V and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. The device features buffered inputs, balanced CMOS push-pull outputs, and standard high-impedance CMOS input characteristics. It provides significant power reduction compared to LSTTL logic ICs and supports fanout up to 10 LSTTL loads.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Contains four independent 2-input OR gates performing the Boolean function Y = A + B
• Features balanced CMOS push-pull outputs for similar sourcing and sinking current capabilities
• Includes buffered inputs with standard high-impedance CMOS characteristics

Inverter Gates Applications

• Monitoring error signals using fewer inputs
• Combining active-low enable signals
• Directly controlling the Enable pin of a fan driver

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm the exact package type and lead finish. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements if applicable to your design. Confirm that the supply voltage and operating temperature ranges align with your system specifications before procurement.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a quadruple 2-input OR gate configuration is required in a through-hole package. It is suitable for designs needing wide operating voltage flexibility between 2 V and 6 V. Consider its balanced output drive capability and low power consumption relative to LSTTL alternatives for general-purpose digital logic applications.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This device belongs to the SNx4HC32 family of quadruple 2-input OR gates produced by Texas Instruments. It is part of the broader HC (High-speed CMOS) logic series, designed to offer performance improvements over earlier logic families while maintaining compatibility. The 'N' suffix specifically denotes the 14-pin Plastic Dual In-Line Package (PDIP).

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Check the manufacturer's datasheet for alternative packages such as SOIC or SSOP variants like SN74HC32D or SN74HC32DBR. Verify functional equivalence and pinout compatibility before substituting.
