SN74LVC32APWRE4

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74LVC32APWRE4 is a quadruple 2-input positive-OR gate from the LVC series, manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.65V to 3.6V and supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The device features inputs tolerant up to 5.5V, enabling use as a translator in mixed-voltage systems. It provides a maximum propagation delay of 3.8ns at 3.3V and offers output drive currents of ±24mA at 3V. Packaged in a 14-pin TSSOP (PW) configuration, it includes ESD protection exceeding 2000V via the human-body model.

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'E4' corresponds to the required lead finish and RoHS compliance status for your assembly process. Confirm that the TSSOP-14 package dimensions align with your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature rating meets your system's environmental specifications before finalizing procurement.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad OR gate function is required in low-voltage CMOS designs. It is suitable for applications needing voltage translation between 3.3V/5V logic levels and lower voltage domains. Consider the 14-pin TSSOP package for surface-mount assembly constraints. Verify that the 3.8ns propagation delay at 3.3V satisfies the timing requirements of your target circuit speed.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the SNx4LVC32A family of quadruple 2-input positive-OR gates. The 'SN74' prefix indicates commercial-grade temperature ratings (-40°C to +85°C), distinguishing it from the military-grade SN54 variant which supports -55°C to +125°C. The 'LVC' series denotes low-voltage CMOS technology optimized for 1.65V to 3.6V operation.
