SN74LV132APWE4

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74LV132APWE4 is a quadruple positive-NAND gate with Schmitt-trigger inputs from the Texas Instruments LV series. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2 V to 5.5 V and supports mixed-mode voltage operation on all ports. The device features low drive characteristics to minimize output ringing, with propagation delays up to 9 ns at 5 V. It includes Ioff support for partial power-down mode and live insertion protection. ESD protection exceeds JESD standards, and latch-up performance exceeds 250 mA per JESD 17.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Schmitt trigger inputs provide different threshold levels for positive- and negative-going signals to ensure clean jitter-free outputs from slow input ramps.
• Low-drive CMOS technology reduces output rise and fall times to minimize signal overshoot and undershoot.
• Ioff circuitry enables partial power-down mode, supporting live insertion and back drive protection.

Inverter Gates Applications

• Industrial PC: Rugged PC and Laptop systems
• Access Control and Security: Camera Surveillance IP Network
• Vending, Payment and Change Machines

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package variant against the orderable addendum in the datasheet, as the 'E4' suffix indicates lead-free status but does not alter function. Confirm availability status, as some TSSOP variants may be obsolete while others remain active. Ensure design validation accounts for the specified operating temperature range and thermal resistance values for the selected package type.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when noise immunity is critical due to its Schmitt trigger inputs. It is suitable for bus interface applications where output ringing must be minimized. Verify that the system voltage falls within the 2 V to 5.5 V range and that input voltages do not exceed 5.5 V. Consider the low-drive nature for applications requiring controlled edge rates rather than high-speed switching.
