Product details
Overview
74HC32DB,118 from Nexperia is a quad 2-input OR gate logic IC in SO14 (SOT108-1) package, operating from 2.0 V to 6.0 V supply, delivering CMOS-level input compatibility, symmetrical output impedance, balanced propagation delays (6–90 ns depending on VCC and load), and specified operation from −40 °C to +125 °C. It serves as a fundamental combinational logic building block in digital control, signal routing, and bus arbitration circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 74HC32DB,118 datasheet, 74HC32DB,118 pinout, 74HC32DB,118 application, or 74HC32DB,118 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2.0–6.0 V wide supply range, TTL-compatible variants (74HCT32), input clamp diodes enabling overvoltage-tolerant interfacing, ESD robustness (HBM >2000 V), and thermal performance in industrial-grade SO14 packaging.
Technical Context
The 74HC32DB,118 implements four independent OR gates with fully buffered inputs and outputs, each featuring internal clamp diodes that allow safe interface to signals exceeding VCC when used with current-limiting resistors. Its CMOS architecture ensures low static power consumption (ICC ≤ 40 μA at 6.0 V, −40 °C to +125 °C) and high noise immunity.
Propagation delay is tightly balanced across all four gates (tpd = 6 ns typ @ VCC = 6.0 V, CL = 50 pF), and transition times (tt = 6 ns typ @ VCC = 6.0 V) support reliable timing in synchronous logic systems. Input thresholds scale with VCC (VIH = 0.7×VCC min for 74HC32), while output drive capability is ±4.0 mA (VOH/VOL guaranteed at 4.5 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Quad 2-input OR gate - provides four independent Boolean OR operations per package |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 6.0 V - enables interoperability across 3.3 V and 5 V systems without level shifters |
| Propagation Delay | 6 ns (typ) @ VCC = 6.0 V, CL = 50 pF - supports >30 MHz toggle rates in clean logic paths |
| Output Drive | ±4.0 mA @ VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to drive multiple 74HC/T inputs or small capacitive loads |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood, industrial control, and extended-environment applications |
| ESD Protection | HBM >2000 V, CDM >1000 V - reduces risk of handling damage during assembly and rework |
| Input Clamp Diodes | Integrated - permits safe interface to voltages up to VCC + 0.5 V using external series resistors |
Pinout & Package
74HC32DB,118 is supplied in SO14 (SOT108-1) plastic small outline package: 14-lead, 3.9 mm body width, 1.27 mm lead pitch, gull-wing leads, JEDEC MS-012 compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1A, 4A, 9A, 12A | Input A of Gates 1–4 | First input terminal per OR gate; accepts CMOS-level signals (VIH ≥ 0.7×VCC) |
| 2B, 5B, 10B, 13B | Input B of Gates 1–4 | Second input terminal per OR gate; electrically identical to corresponding A pin |
| 3Y, 6Y, 8Y, 11Y | Output Y of Gates 1–4 | OR result (nY = nA ∨ nB); rail-to-rail swing with symmetrical sourcing/sinking capability |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference (0 V); must be connected to system common for proper logic threshold referencing |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply rail; decoupling capacitor (100 nF ceramic) recommended within 10 mm |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide supply range | 2.0 V to 6.0 V - eliminates need for separate voltage domains in mixed-supply boards |
| Latch-up immunity | Exceeds 100 mA per JESD78 Class II Level B - prevents destructive latch-up under transient overcurrent |
| Input clamping | Integrated diodes enable overvoltage-safe interfacing (e.g., 5 V signals into 3.3 V system) |
| Thermal rating | Rated to +125 °C ambient - supports use in sealed enclosures or near heat sources |
| Low dynamic power | CPD = 16 pF - limits switching power dissipation in high-frequency clock distribution |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Digital Signal Routing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Combining status signals from multiple sensors (e.g., limit switches, proximity detectors) into a single fault-bus line. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: OR gate aggregating discrete ON/OFF inputs; no timing-critical path - propagation delay tolerance >100 ns. Use Value: Reduces PCB footprint vs. discrete transistor solutions; eliminates external pull-ups required by open-collector alternatives. |
Use Scenario: Selecting between two microcontroller peripheral outputs (e.g., UART TX or debug SWO) onto a shared test header. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Active-high signal combiner; operates at system clock domain edge rates (<10 MHz). Use Value: Provides glitch-free bus sharing without contention; avoids bidirectional buffer complexity or software coordination. |
| Power Sequencing Monitor | Legacy Bus Arbitration |
Use Scenario: Detecting failure of any one of four regulated DC rails (3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V, −5 V) to assert a global POWER_GOOD# signal. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fault-or logic element; static assertion with no timing constraints beyond setup/hold. Use Value: Enables single-point monitoring without custom ASIC or FPGA logic; supports hot-swap compliance via fast response (<1 µs). |
Use Scenario: Resolving bus grant requests from four legacy peripherals (e.g., ISA-style DMA controllers) competing for shared memory access. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Priority encoder front-end; OR-ing request lines before priority resolution logic. Use Value: Simplifies arbitration logic design; maintains deterministic latency due to matched gate delays across all four channels. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT32DB,118 | TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min), otherwise identical pinout, timing, and drive | Required when interfacing with legacy 5 V TTL outputs; not suitable for pure CMOS 3.3 V systems without level translation | Select when driving from 5 V TTL sources; avoid if all upstream logic is 3.3 V CMOS |
| SN74LVC32APWR | Lower VCC range (1.65–5.5 V), higher speed (tpd = 3.5 ns typ @ 3.3 V), 3.3 V optimized | Better suited for modern low-voltage, high-speed designs; lacks input clamp diodes for overvoltage tolerance | Prefer for new 3.3 V designs requiring <5 ns delay; verify input overvoltage protection separately |
Compared with 74HC32DB,118, the 74HCT32DB,118 offers guaranteed TTL input compatibility at 5 V but sacrifices 2.0 V minimum supply operation, while SN74LVC32APWR delivers faster switching at lower voltage but removes integrated overvoltage protection - making the HC variant optimal for robust, wide-supply industrial signal conditioning.

FAQ
Is 74HC32DB,118 pin-compatible with 74LS32?
No. While both are quad 2-input OR gates, 74HC32DB,118 uses SO14 (SOT108-1) packaging with different pin numbering than the through-hole DIP-14 used by 74LS32. More critically, it has CMOS input thresholds (VIH ≈ 0.7×VCC) versus TTL (VIH = 2.0 V), so direct substitution may cause logic misreads unless supply and source levels match.
Can 74HC32DB,118 drive an LED directly?
Yes, with current limiting. At VCC = 5 V, VOH ≥ 4.4 V and VOL ≤ 0.26 V (IO = ±4.0 mA), allowing direct connection of a standard 2 mA LED (anode to VCC, cathode to output) with a 1.5 kΩ series resistor. Do not exceed 4 mA continuous per output to maintain VOL specification and avoid thermal stress.
Does 74HC32DB,118 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors?
No - all inputs have defined CMOS thresholds and high impedance (II ≤ ±1 μA), so floating inputs are electrically unstable and must be tied to VCC or GND. Outputs are push-pull and do not require termination unless driving transmission lines or high-capacitance buses (>100 pF), where series damping may improve signal integrity.
What is the maximum capacitive load for reliable 74HC32DB,118 operation?
At VCC = 5 V, CL ≤ 50 pF ensures tpd ≤ 18 ns and tt ≤ 15 ns per datasheet. For loads up to 100 pF, propagation delay increases to ~25 ns but remains functional. Beyond 150 pF, rise/fall times degrade significantly, risking setup/hold violations in synchronous systems - add a buffer stage for heavy loads.
