SN74LS32N

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74LS32N is a quad 2-input positive-OR gate integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V and supports a maximum propagation delay of 22ns at 5V with a 15pF load capacitance. The device features four independent logic circuits, each with two inputs, housed in a 14-pin PDIP package. It functions within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Contains four independent 2-input OR gates for complex logic implementation
• Utilizes Low-Power Schottky (LS) TTL technology for reduced power consumption
• Compatible with standard 5V digital logic systems

Inverter Gates Applications

• Digital logic circuit design
• Signal routing and selection
• General-purpose logic processing

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation on the component marking to confirm it originates from Texas Instruments rather than other vendors such as NXP or Motorola, as the part number is shared across multiple manufacturers. Ensure the packaging matches the specified 14-pin DIP format and check RoHS compliance status if required for specific manufacturing standards.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad 2-input OR function is required in a through-hole DIP package. It is suitable for designs operating strictly at 5V. Consider alternative packages like SSOP if space constraints exist, or verify compatibility with existing LS-TTL logic levels in the system architecture.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This component belongs to the 74LS series of logic ICs, which are widely used in digital electronics. The 'SN' prefix typically denotes a plastic DIP package variant produced by Texas Instruments. It serves as a fundamental building block for creating more complex combinational logic circuits.
