TC74LCX32FTELM

Inverter Gates Overview

The TC74LCX32FTELM 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 to 3.6 V, with inputs tolerant up to 5.5 V. The device achieves high-speed operation with a maximum propagation delay of 5.5 ns at 3.3 V. It provides an output current capability of 24 mA (min) at 3.0 V and includes power-down protection on all inputs and outputs. The component is housed in a 14-pin TSSOP package.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Supports 5-V tolerant inputs while operating at low voltages for 3.3-V systems
• Provides high-speed logic performance with minimal CMOS power dissipation
• Includes built-in protection circuits against static discharge and power-down states

Inverter Gates Applications

• General electronics applications including computer and office equipment
• Industrial robotics control systems
• Domestic appliances and measuring equipment
• Personal equipment and consumer devices

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package suffix matches the required form factor, as the FT designation indicates TSSOP packaging. Confirm that the intended application falls within general electronics usage, as the datasheet explicitly excludes medical, transportation, or safety-critical environments. Ensure input signals remain within the specified 0 to 5.5 V range to maintain device integrity during operation.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing 3.3-V logic with 5-V tolerant environments requiring fast switching speeds. The device offers pin and function compatibility with standard 74 series types such as AC, VHC, HC, F, ALS, and LS families. Consider the 24 mA output drive capability for driving moderate loads without external buffering.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the TC74LCX series, which features low-voltage CMOS technology designed for battery-powered and portable applications. The LCX family bridges the gap between standard CMOS and high-speed logic, offering reduced power consumption while maintaining performance suitable for modern digital systems operating below 3.6 V.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

The datasheet notes functional compatibility with other 74 series types like 74AC32, 74VHC32, and 74HC32. Verify voltage levels and speed requirements match before substituting, as these alternatives may operate at different supply voltages or exhibit different propagation delays.
