Product details
Overview
74VHCT32BQ,115 from Nexperia is a quad 2-input OR gate IC in DHVQFN14 package, operating at 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply with TTL-compatible inputs, 7.0 ns typical propagation delay (CL = 15 pF), ±8 mA output drive, and guaranteed operation from –40 °C to +125 °C. It serves as a logic-level combiner in industrial control signal routing, power-on sequencing supervision, and digital status aggregation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 74VHCT32BQ,115 datasheet, 74VHCT32BQ,115 pinout, 74VHCT32BQ,115 application, or 74VHCT32BQ,115 equivalent, this page delivers verified pin functions, real-world timing behavior under load, thermal-enhanced QFN package handling guidance, and validated drop-in alternatives for board-level redesign or supply continuity planning.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent 2-input OR gates using high-speed Si-gate CMOS technology compliant with JEDEC Std. 7-A and pin-compatible with LSTTL. Its TTL input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V) ensure direct interfacing with legacy 5 V logic families without level translation.
Each gate exhibits balanced tPLH/tPHL propagation delays, Schmitt-trigger input action on all pins for noise immunity, and input voltage tolerance up to 7.0 V - enabling safe hot-swap and mixed-voltage system integration. The DHVQFN14 package provides enhanced thermal performance with a 9.6 mW/K derating slope above 98 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Logic Function | Quad 2-input OR (independent gates; no shared internal resources) |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with standard 5 V TTL/CMOS systems |
| Propagation Delay | 7.0 ns typ (CL = 15 pF, VCC = 5 V) - enables reliable operation in ≤70 MHz combinational paths |
| Output Drive | ±8 mA - sufficient to drive 10 LSTTL loads or 15 pF PCB trace capacitance |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - guarantees robust recognition of TTL logic levels |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for extended industrial and under-hood applications |
| ESD Protection | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2 system-level robustness requirements |
Pinout & Package
DHVQFN14 (SOT762-1) package: 2.5 × 3.0 × 0.85 mm body, no leads, exposed thermal pad (non-electrical, optional GND connection), 14 terminals, terminal 1 index area marked.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2Y | Output of second OR gate - routed to downstream logic or status indicator |
| 2 | 3A | First input of third OR gate - accepts active-HIGH enable or status signal |
| 3 | 2B | Second input of second OR gate - enables dual-condition triggering (e.g., fault OR warning) |
| 4 | 3B | Second input of third OR gate - supports redundant input path or OR-ed sensor signals |
| 5 | 2A | First input of second OR gate - used for primary control signal injection |
| 6 | 4Y | Output of fourth OR gate - commonly tied to interrupt line or watchdog input |
| 7 | 1Y | Output of first OR gate - typically drives local enable or reset distribution |
| 8 | 4A | First input of fourth OR gate - connects to auxiliary subsystem status |
| 9 | 1B | Second input of first OR gate - allows dual-source activation (e.g., manual OR auto start) |
| 10 | 4B | Second input of fourth OR gate - supports fail-safe OR logic with backup condition |
| 11 | 3Y | Output of third OR gate - feeds into multiplexer select or priority encoder input |
| 12 | 3A | First input of third OR gate - repeated entry for clarity; matches Pin 2 function |
| 13 | GND | Ground reference (0 V) - must be low-inductance plane connection for noise immunity |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply (4.5–5.5 V) - requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | Enables direct interface with 5 V microcontrollers, FPGAs, and legacy peripherals without level shifters |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Provides hysteresis (≈0.4 V typical) to suppress noise-induced glitches on slow-rising control lines | Overvoltage-tolerant inputs | Accepts up to 7.0 V regardless of VCC - simplifies mixed-supply debugging and hot-plug detection |
| Thermally enhanced DHVQFN | 0.85 mm profile and exposed pad support 500 mW total power dissipation with linear derating above 98 °C |
| Wide temperature range | Specified from –40 °C to +125 °C - validated for use in motor drives, PLC I/O modules, and power converters |
Applications
| Industrial Control Logic | Power Sequencing Supervision |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Aggregating multiple fault signals (overcurrent, overtemperature, communication timeout) into a single system shutdown request. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad OR gate performing wired-OR logic across independent monitoring channels with sub-10 ns decision latency. Use Value: Eliminates need for discrete diodes or microcontroller polling, reducing BOM count and response time by >10× versus software-based fault collection. |
Use Scenario: Enabling DC-DC converter rails only after all upstream supplies and thermal conditions are valid. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: OR gate combining enable signals from voltage monitors and thermal sensors to generate synchronized power-on strobe. Use Value: Ensures deterministic power-up order with zero software dependency and <100 ns worst-case propagation skew between channels. |
| Digital Status Monitoring | Legacy System Interface |
|
Use Scenario: Consolidating ready/busy flags from four independent peripheral devices (ADC, DAC, UART, SPI flash) into one host interrupt line. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: OR gate acting as interrupt combiner with TTL-level outputs compatible with legacy microcontroller INT pins. Use Value: Reduces host GPIO usage by 75% while maintaining hardware-level responsiveness - no ISR overhead or polling latency. |
Use Scenario: Interfacing modern FPGA I/O banks (3.3 V LVCMOS) with legacy 5 V TTL bus transceivers and address decoders. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-adapting OR gate translating between 3.3 V logic thresholds and 5 V TTL VIH/VIL windows. Use Value: Avoids dedicated level translators; leverages native 5 V tolerant inputs and rail-to-rail output swing for clean signal bridging. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC32APWR | 3.3 V only supply (1.65–3.6 V); CMOS inputs; 3.7 ns typ tpd @ 3.3 V | Not suitable for 5 V systems; requires level shifting when interfacing with 5 V peripherals | Select when full 3.3 V system integration is required and lower propagation delay is critical |
| 74ACT32SCX | 5 V supply; TTL-compatible inputs; higher ICC (max 8 mA vs. 40 μA); faster tpd (5.5 ns typ) | Higher static power draw limits use in battery-powered or thermally constrained designs | Select when maximum speed is prioritized over quiescent current in fixed 5 V industrial controllers |
Compared with 74VHCT32BQ,115, SN74LVC32APWR offers lower delay but lacks 5 V tolerance and wide-temp qualification, while 74ACT32SCX delivers higher speed at the cost of 200× greater static current - making the VHCT variant optimal for thermally sensitive, mixed-voltage, extended-temperature industrial logic consolidation.

FAQ
Can 74VHCT32BQ,115 operate with a 3.3 V supply?
No. The 74VHCT32BQ,115 is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation per its recommended conditions table. At 3.3 V, VIH and VIL thresholds fall outside TTL-compatibility range, and output drive degrades below specification - use 74VHC32BQ for 2.0–5.5 V CMOS-compatible operation instead.
Is the exposed thermal pad on the DHVQFN package electrically connected?
No. The exposed pad (terminal 1 index area) has no electrical function. Per Nexperia's datasheet note, it may remain floating or be soldered to GND for thermal improvement - but must not be connected to any other net, including VCC or signal traces.
Does this device support hot-swap insertion while VCC is active?
Yes - all inputs tolerate up to 7.0 V independent of VCC, and outputs are designed for controlled turn-on during power ramp. However, ensure GND is established before VCC and signal lines to prevent latch-up; follow Nexperia's SOT762-1 layout guidelines for transient immunity.
How does propagation delay vary with load capacitance?
At VCC = 5.0 V, tpd increases from 6.9 ns (typ, CL = 15 pF) to 9.0 ns (typ, CL = 50 pF). This 2.1 ns increase reflects linear capacitive loading impact - design PCB traces and fanout to stay within 15–25 pF for sub-8 ns timing-critical paths.
