SN74LS32NS

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74LS32N is a Texas Instruments integrated circuit belonging to the 74LS series of low-power Schottky TTL logic devices. It contains four independent 2-input OR gates within a single 14-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP). The component operates with a standard supply voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V and supports a guaranteed operating ambient temperature range from 0°C to 70°C. Electrical characteristics include a maximum propagation delay of 22ns at 5V with a 15pF load, a high-level output current of 400µA, and a low-level output current of 8mA.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Contains four independent 2-input OR logic functions
• Utilizes low-power Schottky (LS) technology for reduced power consumption
• Compatible with standard 5V TTL logic families

Inverter Gates Applications

• Digital logic signal combination and routing
• Basic arithmetic logic unit construction
• Address decoding circuits

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official datasheets to confirm package type and environmental rating. Ensure the ordering code matches the required DIP configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status if restricted substances are a constraint. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to validate authenticity and current production status before procurement.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring multiple OR gates within a compact through-hole footprint. The LS series offers a balance between speed and power dissipation suitable for general-purpose digital applications. Consider alternative packages such as SOIC or SSOP if surface-mount assembly is preferred for the same logical function.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This device is part of the widely adopted 7400-series logic family, specifically the Low-power Schottky variant. It serves as a fundamental building block in digital electronics, providing reliable Boolean OR operations. The PDIP-14 package facilitates easy prototyping and integration into breadboards or perfboards for educational and development purposes.
