SN74HCT32NE4

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74HCT32NE4 is a quadruple 2-input positive-OR gate manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and features an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The device provides ±4-mA output drive capability at 5 V and typical propagation delays of 13 ns. It consumes a maximum supply current of 20 µA and accepts TTL-voltage compatible inputs.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Contains four independent 2-input OR gates performing the Boolean function Y = A + B
• Outputs capable of driving up to 10 LSTTL loads
• Inputs are TTL-voltage compatible with low input current
• Low power consumption with maximum ICC of 20 µA

Inverter Gates Applications

• Digital logic circuits requiring OR functionality
• Signal routing in positive logic systems
• Interface between TTL and CMOS logic families

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the ordering suffix NE4 indicates lead-free packaging and RoHS compliance. Confirm the package type corresponds to the required board layout. Check the latest datasheet revision for any updates to thermal resistance or electrical characteristics before finalizing design specifications.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when TTL-compatible inputs and standard 5 V operation are required. Ensure the application stays within the recommended operating conditions for voltage and temperature. Consider unused inputs must be tied to VCC or GND to prevent undefined states.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the SNx4HCT32 family of quadruple 2-input positive-OR gates. It utilizes HCT technology to bridge TTL and CMOS logic levels. The device is available in multiple packages including SOIC, SSOP, PDIP, SO, and TSSOP configurations.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

SN74HCT32N is the direct equivalent without the environmental suffix. SN74HCT32DR offers the same logic function in a surface-mount SOIC package.
