Product details
Overview
MC74ACT32ML2 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 9.0 ns max propagation delay at 5 V/50 pF. It is used in digital logic interfacing, bus arbitration, and level translation in industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the MC74ACT32ML2 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include input compatibility with TTL logic families, guaranteed 24 mA drive strength, 5 V operation only, TSSOP-14 package thermal performance, and AC/ACT family timing behavior under load.
Technical Context
The MC74ACT32ML2 implements four independent 2-input OR gates using advanced CMOS technology with buffered TTL-compatible input stages. Its input thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max at VCC = 5.5 V) ensure reliable interfacing with legacy 5 V TTL outputs.
It operates strictly within 4.5–5.5 V supply range and exhibits symmetric propagation delays (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 10.0 ns at 5 V/50 pF), with low quiescent ICC ≤ 40 µA and input leakage IIN ≤ ±1.0 µA over –40°C to +85°C ambient.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad OR gate applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ACT32DR | Same logic function, identical AC/DC specs, SOIC-14 package (wider 3.9 mm body vs. TSSOP-14's 4.4 mm width) | Requires PCB layout change due to different footprint and thermal pad absence | Select when board space allows SOIC and reflow profile favors larger pitch |
| 74VHC32M | Higher VIH (3.33 V min at 5 V), lower IOL (8 mA), 12 ns max tPD - optimized for low-power, not TTL interface | Not suitable for direct TTL input interfacing; requires external pull-ups or buffer stages | Select only for new 5 V CMOS-only designs where power efficiency outweighs interface flexibility |
Compared with SN74ACT32DR and 74VHC32M, the MC74ACT32ML2 uniquely balances TTL compatibility, 24 mA drive, and TSSOP-14 compactness-making it optimal for space-constrained industrial boards requiring legacy signal interoperability.

FAQ
What logic family does MC74ACT32ML2 belong to, and how does it differ from standard AC devices?
The MC74ACT32ML2 belongs to the 74ACT (Advanced CMOS TTL-compatible) logic family. Unlike 74AC devices that use CMOS input thresholds, MC74ACT32ML2 features TTL-compatible inputs (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V at 5.5 V), enabling direct interfacing with 74LS and other 5 V TTL outputs. Its supply range is narrower (4.5–5.5 V) versus 74AC (2.0–6.0 V), and it delivers identical ±24 mA output drive. This makes MC74ACT32ML2 ideal for mixed-logic-system upgrades where TTL signal sources must drive modern CMOS loads without level shifters.
What is the maximum operating temperature range specified for MC74ACT32ML2?
The MC74ACT32ML2 is rated for an operating ambient temperature range of –40°C to +85°C, meeting industrial-grade environmental requirements. This specification is validated across all DC and AC parameters in the datasheet, including propagation delay, output drive, and input thresholds. The device's junction temperature limit is 140°C under PDIP conditions, but for the ML2 (TSSOP-14) package, thermal resistance and power dissipation ensure safe operation within the full –40°C to +85°C ambient range when mounted per JEDEC standards with adequate PCB copper area.
Can MC74ACT32ML2 operate from a 3.3 V supply?
No, MC74ACT32ML2 cannot operate reliably from a 3.3 V supply. Its recommended operating supply voltage is strictly 4.5 V to 5.5 V, as defined in the "RECOMMENDED OPERATING CONDITIONS" table. At 3.3 V, input thresholds fall outside specification (VIH minimum is 2.0 V, but input recognition becomes marginal), output drive collapses below usable levels, and propagation delay increases unpredictably. Using MC74ACT32ML2 below 4.5 V risks functional failure and is outside qualification. For 3.3 V systems, consider 74LVC32 or 74AUP32 variants instead.
What package type is used for MC74ACT32ML2, and what are its key mechanical features?
The MC74ACT32ML2 uses the EIAJ-14 (also known as TSSOP-14) package, case number 948G, with dimensions 5.0 mm × 6.4 mm and 0.65 mm lead pitch. It features gull-wing leads, no thermal pad, and complies with JEDEC MO-153 outline. The "L2" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging (2000 units per reel), and the package is rated MSL1 (moisture sensitivity level 1), meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ≤30°C/60% RH without baking prior to reflow. Its compact size supports high-density PCB layouts typical in industrial controllers and modular I/O systems.
Does MC74ACT32ML2 support hot-swap or live-insertion applications?
No, MC74ACT32ML2 is not designed for hot-swap or live-insertion applications. It lacks bus-hold, power-up 3-state, or Ioff (power-off protection) features. During power sequencing, unpowered VCC with live inputs may cause excessive current flow through internal clamp diodes, risking latch-up or parametric degradation. For hot-swap scenarios, use purpose-built hot-swap controllers or logic families with Ioff specification (e.g., 74LVC series). Always ensure MC74ACT32ML2 power is established before applying valid input signals in system-level designs.
