SN74HCT32NS

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74HCT32NS is a quad 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 a 14-pin DIP package. The device provides low-level output current of 4 mA and high-level output current of -4 mA. Propagation delay is typically 22 ns at 5.5 V with 50 pF load. Operating temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C. Static current is maximized at 2 µA. Logic levels are defined as 0.8 V for low and 2 V for high.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Contains four independent 2-input OR logic gates in a single integrated circuit
• Compatible with standard TTL logic input levels through HCT technology
• Designed for through-hole mounting using a 14-pin dual in-line package

Inverter Gates Applications

• Digital signal processing circuits requiring logical OR operations
• General-purpose logic applications in industrial control systems
• Consumer electronics utilizing standard 5V logic families

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'N' confirms the 14-pin PDIP package variant when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status as specifications may vary by production batch. Ensure the operating temperature range meets system requirements, as this part is rated for commercial temperatures. Cross-reference datasheet revision dates to ensure parameter accuracy against current manufacturing standards.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when through-hole assembly is required for quad OR gate functionality. Compare propagation delays and output drive capabilities against other HCT series variants if higher speed or different packaging is needed. Verify that the 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply range aligns with the target system power rails before finalizing the design.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This component belongs to the SN74HCT32 family of single-function logic gates. It shares functional similarities with other members like the SN74HCT32DR and SN74HCT32N, differing primarily in package type. The HCT series ensures compatibility with CMOS devices while accepting TTL-compatible inputs, making it suitable for mixed-logic environments.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

SN74HCT32N serves as a direct equivalent with identical electrical characteristics and pinout. SN74HCT32DR offers the same function in a surface-mount SOIC package. SN74HC32N provides similar performance but with HC logic level specifications rather than HCT.
