Product details
Overview
MC74ACT32DT from onsemi is a quad 2-input OR gate IC with TTL-compatible inputs, operating at 4.5–5.5 V supply, delivering ±24 mA output drive, and featuring 1.0–10.0 ns propagation delay (CL = 50 pF) for high-speed digital logic interfacing in industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the MC74ACT32DT datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 5 V TTL-compatible input thresholds, TSSOP-14 package footprint, guaranteed 24 mA sink/source capability, and −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
The MC74ACT32DT implements four independent 2-input OR gates using advanced CMOS technology with bipolar-compatible input stages, enabling direct interface with legacy TTL logic without level-shifting. Its input voltage thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V at VCC = 5.0 V) meet standard TTL specifications.
Propagation delays are tightly controlled across temperature and voltage: tPLH/tPHL ≤ 10.0 ns over −40°C to +85°C at VCC = 5.0 V and CL = 50 pF. Output drive strength remains stable at ±24 mA under worst-case conditions, supporting fan-out to multiple LS-TTL loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ACT32DR | SOIC-14 package (D suffix), identical electrical specs and pinout | Larger footprint and lower thermal performance than TSSOP-14; preferred for prototyping or through-hole rework | Select when board space allows larger package or hand-soldering is required |
| 74VHC32MTCX | Wider supply range (2–5.5 V), lower drive (±8 mA), higher propagation delay (≤17.5 ns) | Better suited for mixed-voltage 3.3 V/5 V systems but insufficient for driving multiple TTL loads | Select only if supply voltage flexibility outweighs speed and drive requirements |
Compared with SN74ACT32DR and 74VHC32MTCX, the MC74ACT32DT delivers identical logic functionality and TTL compatibility in a space-constrained TSSOP-14 package with superior drive strength and speed-making it optimal for high-density industrial and automotive control boards where layout area and signal integrity are critical.

FAQ
What logic family does the MC74ACT32DT belong to, and how does it differ from standard 74AC devices?
The MC74ACT32DT belongs to the 74ACT (Advanced CMOS TTL-compatible) family. Unlike 74AC devices, which use CMOS input thresholds, the MC74ACT32DT features TTL-compatible input voltage levels (VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V at VCC = 5.0 V), enabling direct interface with legacy TTL outputs without level translation. Its propagation delay and output drive match 74ACT specifications, not 74AC.
What is the maximum operating temperature range certified for the MC74ACT32DT?
MC74ACT32DT is rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature, fully qualified for industrial environments. This range is explicitly guaranteed in the Recommended Operating Conditions table and supported by DC/AC characterization across the full span, making MC74ACT32DT suitable for under-hood automotive or factory-floor control applications.
Does the MC74ACT32DT require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?
No, the MC74ACT32DT does not require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs. Its CMOS input structure exhibits negligible leakage (±1.0 µA max), and floating inputs are electrically stable. However, best practice dictates tying unused inputs to VCC or GND to prevent noise-induced switching; this is a system-level design choice, not a device requirement for MC74ACT32DT functionality.
Can the MC74ACT32DT operate reliably at 3.3 V supply voltage?
No, the MC74ACT32DT is not specified for 3.3 V operation. Its Recommended Operating Conditions define VCC min = 4.5 V and max = 5.5 V. At 3.3 V, input thresholds become undefined, output drive collapses, and AC performance degrades beyond specification. For 3.3 V systems, consider 74LVC32 or 74AHC32 instead of MC74ACT32DT.
What packaging format is used for the MC74ACT32DT, and what are its key mechanical dimensions?
The MC74ACT32DT uses the TSSOP-14 package (Case 948G), with body dimensions of 4.4 mm × 5.0 mm and 0.65 mm lead pitch. It features gull-wing leads for surface-mount assembly and is shipped in 96-unit rails. This compact footprint supports high-density routing in space-constrained industrial and automotive PCBs where the MC74ACT32DT is commonly deployed.
