SN74LV32APW

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74LV32APW is a quad 2-input positive OR gate manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2V to 5.5V and features low quiescent current of 20 µA maximum. The device provides symmetric output drive currents of 12mA for both high and low states. Propagation delay is specified at 7.5ns when operating at 5V with a 50pF load. Input logic levels are defined as 0.5V for low and 1.5V for high. It is housed in a 14-TSSOP surface-mount package and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to 125°C.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Contains four independent 2-input OR gates within a single integrated circuit
• Supports wide supply voltage operation ranging from 2V to 5.5V
• Provides symmetric push-pull output drive capability

Inverter Gates Applications

• General-purpose digital logic signal processing
• Combination logic circuit implementation
• Signal routing and selection in embedded systems

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PW' corresponds to the 14-TSSOP package variant rather than other packaging options like tape-and-reel or SOIC. Confirm that the component meets the required thermal specifications for the intended operating environment, specifically the extended industrial temperature range up to 125°C. Ensure input voltage levels remain within the specified 0.5V low and 1.5V high thresholds to guarantee correct logical operation across the full supply voltage range.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad OR gate configuration is required with a wide supply voltage tolerance down to 2V. It is suitable for applications needing moderate speed performance with a 7.5ns propagation delay. Consider alternative packages if pin count or physical footprint constraints differ from the 14-TSSOP form factor. Verify compatibility with system input logic levels before integration.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74LV32A series of low-voltage CMOS logic devices. It serves as a standard solution for implementing OR logic functions in portable and battery-operated equipment due to its wide voltage range. The device is designed to interface directly between 5V and 3.3V systems while maintaining robust noise immunity and low power consumption characteristics typical of the LV family.
