Product details
Overview
74AC32MTR from STMicroelectronics is a quad 2-input OR gate in high-speed CMOS technology, operating across 2V–6V supply, delivering 4ns typical propagation delay at 5V, ±24mA symmetrical output drive, and 2µA max quiescent current at 25°C. It serves as a logic-level combinatorial gate in digital control subsystems requiring noise-immune signal aggregation, such as industrial PLC I/O modules.
For engineers reviewing the 74AC32MTR datasheet, 74AC32MTR pinout, 74AC32MTR application, or 74AC32MTR equivalent, key selection criteria include transmission-line driving capability (50Ω), latch-up immunity, ESD tolerance (2kV), input voltage thresholds (VIH/VIL = 2.1V/0.9V @ 3V), and temperature range (-55°C to +125°C).
Technical Context
The 74AC32 implements four independent OR gates with buffered outputs, enabling stable switching and high noise immunity via C2MOS sub-micron silicon gate process. Each gate features symmetrical output impedance (|IOH| = |IOL| ≥ 24mA) and balanced tPLH/tPHL delays for minimal skew in parallel logic paths.
It supports incident-wave switching on 50Ω transmission lines and meets stringent DC input thresholds (VIH ≥ 70% VCC, VIL ≤ 30% VCC) across full temperature range. Input protection includes 2kV HBM ESD diodes and transient voltage clamping on all pins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2V to 6V - Enables interoperability with 3.3V and 5V logic families without level shifters. |
| tPD (Typ) | 4ns @ VCC = 5V - Supports >100MHz toggle rates in combinatorial logic chains. |
| IOL / IOH | ≥24mA - Drives 50Ω transmission lines directly; eliminates need for external line drivers. |
| VNIH / VNIL | ≥28% VCC - Ensures robust operation under noisy industrial power rail conditions. |
| ICC (Max) | 2µA @ TA = 25°C - Enables ultra-low static power in battery-backed or always-on control logic. |
| Operating Temp | -55°C to +125°C - Qualified for under-hood automotive, motor drive, and aerospace environments. |
| ESD Rating | 2kV HBM - Protects against handling-induced discharge without external TVS components. |
Pinout & Package
74AC32MTR is housed in a 14-lead SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package with 1.27mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012 compliant, body dimensions 8.55 × 5.8 mm (max), and gull-wing leads suitable for reflow soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 9, 12 | Input A (Gate 1–4) | First operand input per OR gate; accepts TTL- and CMOS-compatible logic levels. |
| 2, 5, 10, 13 | Input B (Gate 1–4) | Second operand input per OR gate; electrically identical to Input A pins. |
| 3, 6, 8, 11 | Output Y (Gate 1–4) | Active-high OR result; capable of sourcing/sinking ≥24mA into resistive or 50Ω loads. |
| 7 | GND | Logic ground reference; must be low-impedance connection to minimize ground bounce. |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply; decoupling capacitor (100nF) required within 1cm for stable high-speed operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad 2-input OR function | Four independent gates in single SOIC-14; reduces board space vs discrete gate arrays. |
| 50Ω transmission-line drive | Guaranteed incident-wave switching on controlled-impedance PCB traces - no termination resistor needed. |
| Symmetrical output drive | |IOH| = |IOL| ≥ 24mA - Eliminates duty-cycle distortion in clocked or data-path applications. |
| High noise immunity | VNIH/VNIL ≥ 28% VCC - Tolerates ≥1.4V noise margin on 5V rails; critical for factory-floor EMI resilience. |
| Latch-up immunity | Improved over standard CMOS - prevents destructive parasitic SCR conduction during overvoltage transients. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Automotive Body Control Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad 2-input OR gate applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74AC32DR | TI part; identical AC/DC specs but wider VCC min (2V vs 1.5V), slightly higher CPD (36pF vs 33pF). | Same industrial temp range; TI's qualification documentation emphasizes automotive AEC-Q100 Grade 2 compliance. | Preferred where AEC-Q100 traceability is contractually required; otherwise functionally interchangeable. |
| 74VHC32M | ON Semiconductor part; lower ICC (1µA typ), slower tPD (7.5ns typ @ 5V), same 24mA drive. | Lower speed limits use in >50MHz timing paths; better suited for ultra-low-power battery monitoring logic. | Select when static power dominates design priority and propagation delay <6ns is not required. |
Compared with SN74AC32DR and 74VHC32M, the 74AC32MTR offers the best balance of speed (4ns), drive strength (24mA), and industrial temperature support without AEC-Q100 overhead - ideal for cost-sensitive, high-reliability embedded control.

FAQ
Is 74AC32MTR pin-compatible with standard 74LS32 or 74HC32?
Yes - it is pin- and function-compatible with 74-series 32 OR gates, including 74LS32 and 74HC32. However, its higher drive strength (24mA vs 8mA for LS, 12mA for HC) and wider VCC range (2–6V vs 4.75–5.25V for LS) require verification of load compatibility and decoupling design.
Can 74AC32MTR operate reliably at 3.3V supply?
Yes - it is fully specified at VCC = 3.0V, 4.5V, and 5.5V. At 3.3V, VIH = 2.1V (min), VIL = 1.5V (max), tPD = 5.5ns (max), and IOH/IOL ≥ 12mA, making it compatible with 3.3V LVTTL and mixed-voltage systems.
Does 74AC32MTR require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?
No - unused inputs may be tied directly to VCC or GND. The device has no internal pull-ups; however, floating inputs must be avoided to prevent increased ICC and potential oscillation due to noise coupling into high-impedance nodes.
What is the maximum recommended capacitive load for 74AC32MTR outputs?
The AC specifications assume CL = 50pF. Driving >100pF loads increases tPD and may cause ringing on unterminated lines. For >50pF, add series source termination (e.g., 33Ω) close to the output pin to dampen reflections.
