Product details
Overview
74AHCT32BQ,115 from Nexperia is a quad 2-input OR gate logic IC with TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V), 7 ns typical propagation delay (CL = 15 pF, VCC = 5 V), and overvoltage-tolerant inputs up to 5.5 V - enabling mixed-voltage level translation in industrial control I/O expansion and sensor interface subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the 74AHCT32BQ,115 datasheet, 74AHCT32BQ,115 pinout, 74AHCT32BQ,115 application, or 74AHCT32BQ,115 equivalent, this device supports robust digital signal combining in noise-prone environments, offers Schmitt-trigger input hysteresis for slow-rising signals, and operates across -40 °C to +125 °C with CMOS-level power efficiency.
Technical Context
The 74AHCT32BQ,115 implements four independent 2-input OR gates using silicon-gate CMOS technology with TTL-level input compatibility. Its input stage includes Schmitt-trigger action on all eight inputs, providing hysteresis (typically 0.3 V) to suppress noise on slow or noisy control lines.
It features overvoltage-tolerant inputs rated to 5.5 V regardless of VCC (2.0–5.5 V), allowing safe interfacing between 3.3 V logic domains and 5 V legacy peripherals. Output drive capability is ±8 mA at VCC = 4.5 V, with rail-to-rail VOH/VOL performance defined across full temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Quad 2-input OR gate (A + B → Y per channel) |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5 V TTL systems |
| Propagation Delay | 3.1 ns (typ) to 9.0 ns (max) at CL = 15 pF - enables high-speed combinational logic in timing-critical paths |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - matches legacy TTL voltage levels for seamless integration |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA at VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to drive multiple 74-series inputs or small capacitive loads |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood, industrial motor control, and power supply monitoring |

Pinout & Package
DHVQFN14 package (SOT762-1): 2.5 × 3.0 × 0.85 mm body, no leads, exposed thermal pad (non-soldered by default), 14 terminals, pin 1 index area marked.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1A | First OR gate input A - accepts TTL-level signals up to 5.5 V independent of VCC |
| 2 | 1B | First OR gate input B - Schmitt-triggered for noise immunity on slow edges |
| 3 | 1Y | First OR gate output - drives downstream logic with rail-aligned VOH/VOL |
| 4 | 2A | Second OR gate input A - electrically isolated but shares same VCC/GND rails |
| 5 | 2B | Second OR gate input B - identical electrical behavior to 1A/1B |
| 6 | 2Y | Second OR gate output - complements 1Y for parallel logic expansion |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference (0 V) - required for stable logic thresholds and noise rejection |
| 8 | 3Y | Third OR gate output - positioned for low-inductance routing in dense PCB layouts |
| 9 | 3A | Third OR gate input A - terminal layout optimized for orthogonal signal routing |
| 10 | 3B | Third OR gate input B - supports daisy-chained enable or status aggregation |
| 11 | 4Y | Fourth OR gate output - final logic sum output, routed near VCC for decoupling |
| 12 | 4A | Fourth OR gate input A - placed adjacent to VCC (pin 14) for minimal supply bounce |
| 13 | 4B | Fourth OR gate input B - completes quad gate set; all inputs tolerant to 5.5 V |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply (4.5–5.5 V) - requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling at package edge |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V min / VIL = 0.8 V max at 5 V supply - eliminates need for external level shifters when interfacing with 74LS or microcontroller GPIO |
| Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Withstands up to 5.5 V on any input regardless of VCC setting - enables safe connection to 5 V buses while operating from 3.3 V supplies |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Hysteresis ~0.3 V on all eight inputs - rejects noise on long traces or mechanical switch debouncing without external RC networks |
| Wide temperature operation | Specified from -40 °C to +125 °C - supports deployment in automotive engine control modules and industrial PLC backplanes |
| Low dynamic power | CPD = 12 pF - limits switching current in high-frequency enable/disable applications, reducing system-level heat generation |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74AHCT32PW,118 | TSSOP14 package (4.4 mm width); 0.65 mm pitch; higher thermal resistance (7.3 mW/K derating above 81 °C) | Better suited for manual rework or prototyping due to gull-wing leads; less optimal for high-density thermal management | Select when board assembly uses standard reflow profiles and thermal margin > 15 °C is available. |
| SN74AHCT32DR | Texas Instruments part in SOIC-14; VIH/VIL identical; tpd max 10 ns (CL = 50 pF); ICC max 40 μA at 125 °C | Same footprint as Nexperia 74AHCT32D; compatible with legacy SO14 tooling and test fixtures | Choose for drop-in replacement in existing SOIC-based designs where pinout and timing match is mandatory. |
Compared with 74AHCT32PW,118, the 74AHCT32BQ,115 offers superior thermal performance in compact layouts via its exposed-pad DHVQFN package, while SN74AHCT32DR provides footprint compatibility with legacy Nexperia SO14 designs but lacks the overvoltage tolerance margin of the BQ variant.

FAQ
Can 74AHCT32BQ,115 operate with a 3.3 V supply?
No - the 74AHCT32 variant is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply operation. Its TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min) and output drive characteristics are validated exclusively within that range. For 3.3 V systems, use the 74AHC32BQ,115 variant instead, which has CMOS-level inputs.
Is the exposed thermal pad on the DHVQFN package required to be soldered?
No - per Nexperia's datasheet, the thermal pad (terminal 1 index area) has no electrical or mechanical requirement to be soldered. If soldered, it must remain floating or be connected to GND; it is not internally tied to GND or VCC and serves only as a thermal enhancement feature.
What is the maximum input frequency supported by 74AHCT32BQ,115?
The device does not specify a maximum clock or toggle frequency. Its usable speed is governed by propagation delay (≤9.0 ns) and load capacitance. With CL = 15 pF, the maximum reliable toggle rate is approximately 55 MHz (1 / (2 × tpd_max)), assuming clean edges and proper termination.
Does 74AHCT32BQ,115 support hot-swap or live-insertion?
No - the device lacks explicit hot-swap protection circuitry such as input current limiting or power-up sequencing control. While overvoltage-tolerant inputs improve robustness, applying VCC after signal inputs may cause latch-up or undefined states; power sequencing per manufacturer guidelines is required.
