TC74LCX32FT(EL)

Inverter Gates Overview

The TC74LCX32FT(EL) is a low-voltage quad 2-input OR gate manufactured by Toshiba Semiconductor and Storage. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 3.6 V, with inputs tolerant up to 5.5 V. The device features a maximum propagation delay of 5.5 ns at 3.3 V and provides an output current of 24 mA minimum. It utilizes a 14-pin TSSOP package and supports power-down protection on all inputs and outputs.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Provides high-speed logic operation while maintaining CMOS low-power dissipation characteristics.
• Features 5-V tolerant inputs allowing interface between 3.3-V systems and 5-V environments.
• Includes power-down protection circuits on all inputs and outputs to prevent leakage during power-off states.

Inverter Gates Applications

• General electronics applications including computer and personal equipment
• Office equipment and measuring instruments
• Industrial robotics and domestic appliances

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's documentation to confirm the exact package type, as the FT designation corresponds to the TSSOP variant. Confirm that the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for your assembly process. Ensure the design accounts for the specified operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. Check for any regional availability restrictions associated with the specific manufacturing lot or package style.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad 2-input OR function is required in low-voltage digital designs. It is suitable for systems operating at 3.3 V that require compatibility with 5-V input signals. Consider its 24 mA drive capability for moderate load conditions. Verify that the TSSOP package dimensions fit the available PCB space constraints.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the TC74LCX series of low-voltage CMOS logic integrated circuits from Toshiba. The LCX family is designed for high-speed operation in portable and battery-powered applications due to its low voltage operation and power consumption profile. It serves as a functional replacement for older 74-series logic families in modern low-voltage designs.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other quad 2-input OR gates from the same logic family, such as the TC74LCX32F or TC74LCX32FN, provided the package type matches the design requirements. Cross-family replacements like the 74LVC32 may be considered if voltage levels and pinouts are compatible.
