Product details
Overview
M74HC32B1R from STMicroelectronics is a high-speed CMOS quad 2-input OR gate in 14-pin DIP package, operating from 2V to 6V supply, with typical propagation delay of 8ns at 6V, symmetrical output drive (±4mA), and high noise immunity (28% VCC). It serves as a logic-level combinatorial gate in industrial control signal routing, power-on sequencing, and digital interface enable logic.
For engineers reviewing the M74HC32B1R datasheet, M74HC32B1R pinout, M74HC32B1R application, or M74HC32B1R equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, functional pin mapping, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options for legacy-compatible 74HC-series logic design.
Technical Context
The M74HC32B1R implements four independent OR gates using silicon gate C2MOS technology, each with buffered output stages that ensure stable switching and high noise rejection. Its symmetrical output impedance (|IOH| = IOL ≥ 4mA) and balanced tPLH/tPHL delays support clean signal fan-out in mixed-voltage systems.
Designed for wide-supply operation (2–6V), it maintains guaranteed VIH/VIL thresholds across temperature (–55°C to +125°C) and meets stringent static discharge protection per internal input diode clamping. Input rise/fall time limits are specified up to 1000ns at 2V, enabling compatibility with slow-edge microcontroller GPIOs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2V to 6V - supports direct interfacing with 3.3V and 5V logic families without level shifters |
| tPD (Typ.) | 8ns at VCC = 6V - enables sub-100MHz combinational logic timing in synchronous designs |
| IOL / IOH | ≥ 4mA - drives standard TTL loads or multiple 74HC inputs (fan-out ≥ 10) |
| VIH / VIL | 3.15V / 1.35V at VCC = 4.5V - ensures robust noise margin (>1.3V) in noisy industrial environments |
| ICC (Max) | 1µA at TA = 25°C - enables ultra-low-static-power operation in battery-backed or standby circuits |
| Operating Temp | –55°C to +125°C - qualified for extended-temperature industrial and automotive under-hood applications |
| CIN | 5pF - minimizes capacitive loading on driving sources, preserving signal edge integrity |
Pinout & Package
Package: Plastic DIP-14 (dual in-line package, 0.3" width, through-hole mounting).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 9, 12 | Input A (Gate 1–4) | First input of each OR gate; accepts 0–VCC logic levels with ±20µA leakage |
| 2, 5, 10, 13 | Input B (Gate 1–4) | Second input of each OR gate; electrically identical to Pin A inputs |
| 3, 6, 8, 11 | Output Y (Gate 1–4) | Active-high OR output; capable of sourcing/sinking ≥4mA with rail-to-rail swing |
| 7 | GND | Logic ground reference; must be connected before VCC to prevent latch-up |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply rail; decoupling capacitor (100nF) required within 1cm for stable AC operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High noise immunity | VNIH/VNIL = 28% VCC min - rejects common-mode transients up to ±1.7V at 6V supply |
| Symmetrical output drive | |IOH| = IOL ≥ 4mA - eliminates skew between rising/falling edges in bus arbitration logic |
| Balanced propagation delays | tPLH ≅ tPHL - ensures predictable setup/hold timing in feedback or clock-gating paths |
| ESD-protected inputs | Internal diode clamps - withstands ≥2kV HBM without external TVS components |
| Wide voltage operation | 2V–6V range - interoperable with 2.5V FPGA I/O, 3.3V MCU, and 5V legacy peripherals |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Input Conditioning | Automotive Body Control Module |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Combinatorial logic gate performing real-time Boolean OR of asynchronous safety inputs. Use Value: Enables fail-safe detection with no propagation delay penalty (<8ns), meeting ISO 16750-2 transient immunity requirements via inherent noise margin. | Use Scenario: Enabling power to auxiliary lighting circuits only when ignition ON AND headlight switch is active.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Final-stage "all-clear" combiner asserting SYSTEM_READY only when all self-test flags are high. Use Value: Achieves <1µA quiescent current during standby, extending battery life in portable diagnostic instruments. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74HC32N | Identical logic function and DC specs; tPD = 9ns (typ.) at 6V; same DIP-14 footprint | No difference in pinout or thermal profile; TI version uses different oxide process but same JEDEC timing bin | Select for dual-sourcing where TI's long-term availability program is preferred |
| CD74HC32E | Slightly higher ICC (2µA max); tPD = 10ns (typ.) at 6V; identical VCC range and output drive | Same mechanical fit; minor timing degradation acceptable in non-critical glue logic | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs 2ns delay penalty in low-frequency control planes |
Compared with SN74HC32N and CD74HC32E, the M74HC32B1R offers the lowest typical propagation delay (8ns) and tightest ICC guarantee (1µA), making it optimal for timing-critical or ultra-low-power industrial control nodes where marginal performance gains directly impact system responsiveness or battery runtime.

FAQ
Is M74HC32B1R compatible with 5V TTL logic inputs?
Yes - its VIH minimum is 3.15V at VCC = 4.5V and 4.2V at VCC = 6V, exceeding TTL's 2.0V VIH threshold. Inputs tolerate 0–VCC voltage range and include internal clamping diodes, allowing safe interfacing with 5V TTL outputs without external resistors or level shifters.
What is the maximum capacitive load this device can drive reliably?
The M74HC32B1R is characterized with CL = 50pF in AC specs and guarantees tPLH/tPHL ≤ 19ns (max) at 6V. Driving >100pF may increase transition time and reduce noise margin; for loads above 50pF, add series termination or verify timing margins using the CPD = 21pF value and ICC(opr) = CPD × VCC × fIN + ICC/4 formula.
Does M74HC32B1R support mixed-voltage operation between inputs and VCC?
No - all inputs must remain within 0V to VCC. The absolute maximum rating specifies VI = –0.5V to VCC + 0.5V, and operation outside 0–VCC risks undefined output states or increased ICC. For mixed-voltage systems, use dedicated level translators rather than relying on input tolerance.
Can M74HC32B1R be used in place of M74HC32M1R (SOP-14)?
Yes - both share identical logic function, DC/AC specifications, and pin numbering. The only difference is package: M74HC32B1R is DIP-14 (through-hole), while M74HC32M1R is SO-14 (surface-mount). PCB layout and thermal management differ, but electrical behavior and timing are fully interchangeable in functional design.
