Product details
Overview
74VHC32MTC from ON Semiconductor is a quad 2-input OR gate in TSSOP-14 package, operating at 2.0–5.5 V supply, with 3.8 ns typical propagation delay at 5 V, 2 µA max quiescent current at 25°C, and input tolerance up to 7 V - used for logic-level translation and discrete gate logic in industrial control I/O modules.
For engineers reviewing the 74VHC32MTC datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include VCC range compatibility, input overvoltage robustness (–0.5 V to +7.0 V), output drive capability (±8 mA), noise immunity (28% VCC min), and TSSOP-14 footprint constraints.
Technical Context
The 74VHC32MTC implements four independent CMOS OR gates using silicon-gate technology, delivering TTL-compatible speed while maintaining CMOS power efficiency. Each gate features buffered output stages and input protection circuitry enabling safe 0–7 V input voltage operation regardless of VCC.
It supports mixed-voltage interfacing (e.g., 5 V logic driving 3 V systems) and battery-backup applications due to its wide supply range (2.0–5.5 V) and power-down input protection. The device is not designed for AC-coupled or high-frequency clock distribution - it is strictly combinatorial logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.0 V to 5.5 V - enables use across 3.3 V and 5 V systems without level shifters |
| tPD (Typ.) | 3.8 ns at VCC = 5 V, CL = 15 pF - meets timing requirements for sub-100 MHz digital control paths |
| ICC (Max) | 2 µA at TA = 25°C - supports ultra-low static power in always-on monitoring circuits |
| Input Voltage Range | –0.5 V to +7.0 V - allows direct connection to unregulated or higher-voltage signals without external clamping |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA at VCC = 4.5 V - sufficient to drive multiple 74-series inputs or small LED loads via series resistor |
| Noise Immunity | VNIH/VNIL ≥ 28% VCC - ensures reliable switching in electrically noisy factory environments |
Pinout & Package
74VHC32MTC is housed in a 14-lead Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP), JEDEC MO-153, 4.4 mm wide, with 0.65 mm lead pitch and gull-wing leads. Pin 1 marked by notch or dot; body thickness ≤ 1.2 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, 12 | Input (A1/B1/A2/B2/A3/B3/A4/B4) | Four independent OR gate inputs; each tolerant to –0.5 V to +7.0 V regardless of VCC |
| 3, 6, 10, 13 | Output (Y1/Y2/Y3/Y4) | CMOS push-pull outputs; capable of sourcing/sinking ±8 mA at VCC = 4.5 V |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference for all logic and power domains; must be low-impedance connection |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply rail; decoupling capacitor (100 nF ceramic) required within 5 mm of this pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-speed OR logic | 3.8 ns typical propagation delay at 5 V enables use in real-time digital state machines |
| Input overvoltage tolerance | Inputs withstand –0.5 V to +7.0 V - eliminates need for external Schottky clamps in mixed-supply interfaces |
| Power-down input protection | All inputs remain protected when VCC = 0 V - prevents backfeeding and latch-up during hot-swap or brownout |
| Low dynamic noise | VOLP ≤ 0.8 V (max) at CL = 50 pF - reduces crosstalk in dense PCB layouts with adjacent signal traces |
| PIN/functional compatibility | Pin- and function-compatible with 74HC32 - allows drop-in replacement in existing HC-based designs |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | Legacy System Logic Translation |
|---|---|
|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Combinatorial OR gate aggregating up to four independent digital inputs into one active-HIGH alarm output. Use Value: Eliminates need for microcontroller GPIO polling; provides deterministic <3.8 ns response with no firmware overhead. |
Use Scenario: Interfacing 5 V TTL sensors to 3.3 V microcontrollers in retrofit instrumentation panels where level shifters are cost-prohibitive. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage-tolerant logic buffer performing OR logic while translating 5 V inputs to 3.3 V–compatible outputs. Use Value: Input overvoltage rating (up to 7 V) and 2.0–5.5 V VCC range allow direct connection without external resistors or translators. |
| Battery-Backed Monitoring Circuits | Power Sequencing Supervision |
|
Use Scenario: Monitoring main and backup power rails in medical diagnostic equipment to assert "POWER OK" if either rail is valid. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-rail OR gate detecting presence of VMAIN or VBACKUP and driving a latched enable signal. Use Value: Power-down input protection ensures safe operation during VCC ramp-up/down transients and zero-VCC states. |
Use Scenario: Validating that multiple DC/DC converter outputs (e.g., 1.2 V, 3.3 V, 5 V) are stable before releasing reset to an FPGA. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: OR gate combining individual "PGOOD" signals into a composite "ALL POWER GOOD" status flag. Use Value: 2 µA max ICC at 25°C minimizes standby current draw in always-on supervision circuits. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HC32D,653 (Nexperia) | Same pinout, but VCC max = 6 V; tPD = 7 ns (typ.) at 5 V; input tolerance only to VCC + 0.5 V | Lacks 7 V input overvoltage support - requires external clamping if interfacing to >6 V sources | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs input ruggedness and speed is non-critical |
| SN74LVC32APWR (TI) | 3.3 V optimized (1.65–3.6 V); tPD = 3.8 ns (typ.) at 3.3 V; 5 V-tolerant inputs only (not outputs) | Not suitable for 5 V-only systems; output swing limited to VCC, not 5 V - cannot drive legacy 5 V loads | Prefer for new 3.3 V designs requiring lower VCC and guaranteed 5 V-tolerant inputs |
Compared with 74HC32D and SN74LVC32APWR, the 74VHC32MTC uniquely combines 5 V operation, 7 V input tolerance, sub-4 ns speed, and TSSOP-14 packaging - making it optimal for industrial upgrades where legacy voltage margins and timing headroom are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the 74VHC32MTC?
The 74VHC32MTC supports DC input voltages from –0.5 V to +7.0 V, independent of VCC level. This allows safe interfacing with unregulated signals, battery-backed lines, or higher-voltage peripherals without external protection components - a key differentiator versus standard HC devices.
Is the 74VHC32MTC pin-compatible with the 74HC32?
Yes, the 74VHC32MTC is pin- and function-compatible with the 74HC32. Both share identical pin assignments (14-pin TSSOP/SOIC/PDIP), truth table behavior, and logic function. This enables direct substitution in existing 74HC32 designs while delivering improved speed and input ruggedness.
Can the 74VHC32MTC operate at 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the 74VHC32MTC is fully specified for operation from 2.0 V to 5.5 V, including 3.3 V. At VCC = 3.3 V, it delivers tPD ≈ 5.5 ns (typ.) with CL = 15 pF and maintains VIH ≥ 2.31 V and VIL ≤ 0.99 V - compatible with standard 3.3 V LVTTL logic thresholds.
Does the 74VHC32MTC require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?
Yes - per the datasheet, all unused inputs of the 74VHC32MTC must be terminated to a defined logic level (VCC or GND). Floating inputs may cause excessive ICC, oscillation, or unpredictable output states due to internal CMOS threshold sensitivity.
What is the thermal performance of the 74VHC32MTC in TSSOP-14 package?
The 74VHC32MTC in TSSOP-14 (MTC14) has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 150°C/W. At 25°C ambient and worst-case ICC (20 µA) plus dynamic load, junction temperature rise remains negligible (<0.1°C), making thermal derating unnecessary in standard industrial applications.
