SN74LS32NE4

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74LS32NE4 is a quad 2-input positive-OR gate integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within the standard TTL logic family and is housed in a 14-pin PDIP package. The device supports a supply voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V. Key electrical parameters include a maximum propagation delay of 22ns at 5V with a 15pF load, a low-level output current of 8mA, and a high-level output current of 400µA. It functions reliably across an operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Contains four independent 2-input OR gates for parallel signal processing
• Compatible with standard TTL logic families for system integration
• Provides robust drive capability with specified high and low output currents

Inverter Gates Applications

• Digital logic circuits requiring OR functionality
• Signal routing and selection systems
• General-purpose digital design applications

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'E4' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm lead-free compliance and RoHS status. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact package style and pin configuration required for your PCB layout. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to confirm the most current electrical specifications and mechanical dimensions are applied.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad OR gate solution is needed within a standard DIP package. It is suitable for designs operating at 5V with moderate speed requirements. Consider alternative packages if surface-mount technology is preferred or if higher fan-out capabilities are necessary for the specific application load.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the Texas Instruments 74LS series, which utilizes Low-power Schottky technology. This series offers a balance between power consumption and switching speed compared to standard TTL. The SN74LS32N is the base part number, with the NE4 suffix indicating specific manufacturing attributes such as packaging and environmental compliance.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

The SN74LS32N is a direct functional equivalent. Other compatible parts include variants from the same 74LS family that share identical pinouts and logical operations.
