SN74HC32PW

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74HC32PW is a quadruple 2-input OR gate manufactured by Texas Instruments in a 14-pin TSSOP package. It operates on 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 inputs. 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 currents
• Includes buffered inputs with standard high-impedance 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 current Package Option Addendum to confirm the exact package type, lead finish, and moisture sensitivity level. Ensure the selected variant matches the required thermal resistance and operating temperature specifications for the intended application environment.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide supply voltage range between 2 V and 6 V is required. It is suitable for designs needing low power consumption relative to LSTTL alternatives. Consider the 14-pin TSSOP package dimensions if space constraints are present. Verify that input signal edge rates meet recommended transition times to prevent excessive current consumption.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This device belongs to the SNx4HC32 family of quadruple 2-input OR gates. It is part of the broader HC (High-speed CMOS) logic series, designed to offer performance improvements over older logic families while maintaining compatibility with standard digital logic interfaces.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Check the manufacturer's documentation for alternative packages such as SOIC (SN74HC32D), SSOP (SN74HC32DB), or PDIP (SN74HC32N). Verify functional equivalence and pinout compatibility before substituting.
