Product details
Overview
MC74LVX32D from ON Semiconductor is a quad 2-input OR gate IC designed for level-translating logic interfacing between 3V and 5V systems. It features 5V-tolerant inputs (up to 7V), 4.4ns typical propagation delay at VCC = 3.3V, 2µA max quiescent current at 25°C, ±25mA output drive capability, and SOIC-14 package. It serves as a voltage-compatible logic combiner in mixed-supply digital control paths.
For engineers reviewing the MC74LVX32D datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated pin functions, real-world interface use cases, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and application-level distinctions.
Technical Context
The MC74LVX32D implements four independent CMOS OR gates in a single monolithic die, each with rail-to-rail input tolerance (–0.5V to +7.0V) and output swing limited to VCC/GND. Its internal structure supports simultaneous switching across all gates without latch-up under 300mA stress, and its balanced tPLH/tPHL delays ensure deterministic timing in synchronous logic trees.
No internal pull-ups or level-shifting circuitry is integrated - translation relies solely on input voltage tolerance and output compliance with VCC-referenced logic thresholds. The device operates within 2.0V–3.6V supply range and meets HBM ESD >2000V and machine model >200V requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.0V to 3.6V - defines valid operating supply; not 5V-tolerant for VCC itself |
| tPD (Typ) | 4.4ns at VCC = 3.3V, CL = 15pF - enables sub-200MHz combinational logic operation |
| Input Voltage Range | –0.5V to +7.0V - allows direct connection to 5V signals without external resistors or translators |
| IOUT (Max) | ±25mA per output - supports driving multiple 74LVC inputs or small LED loads |
| ICC (Max) | 2µA at TA = 25°C - enables ultra-low static power in battery-backed or always-on logic sections |
| VOL (Max) | 0.44V at IOL = 4mA, VCC = 3.0V - ensures robust LOW-level noise margin in 3.3V CMOS systems |
| VIH/VIL | VIH = 2.4V min, VIL = 0.8V max at VCC = 3.6V - compatible with standard 3.3V LVTTL thresholds |
Pinout & Package
MC74LVX32D is housed in a 14-lead SOIC package (Case 751A), 3.9mm wide, with standard 1.27mm pitch. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot; pin numbering follows counter-clockwise sequence from top-left when viewed from component side.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A0 (Input) | First input of Gate 0 - accepts 0–7V signals regardless of VCC |
| 2 | B0 (Input) | Second input of Gate 0 - electrically identical to Pin 1 |
| 3 | O0 (Output) | OR result of A0+B0 - swings 0V to VCC, not to 5V |
| 4 | A1 (Input) | First input of Gate 1 - fully independent, no crosstalk with Gate 0 |
| 5 | B1 (Input) | Second input of Gate 1 - shares same voltage tolerance and timing specs |
| 6 | O1 (Output) | OR result of A1+B1 - matches O0 in drive strength and VOL/VOH |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference for all inputs, outputs, and internal circuitry |
| 8 | O3 (Output) | OR result of A3+B3 - fourth independent output, aligned with SOIC pinout symmetry |
| 9 | B3 (Input) | Second input of Gate 3 - located adjacent to O3 for minimal trace length |
| 10 | A3 (Input) | First input of Gate 3 - completes Gate 3 pair on right-side pins |
| 11 | O2 (Output) | OR result of A2+B2 - third output, placed near center for routing flexibility |
| 12 | B2 (Input) | Second input of Gate 2 - paired with A2 (Pin 13) and O2 (Pin 11) |
| 13 | A2 (Input) | First input of Gate 2 - forms final gate pair with B2 and O2 |
| 14 | VCC | Positive supply rail - must be 2.0–3.6V; powers all four gates simultaneously |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5V-tolerant inputs | Enables direct interface between legacy 5V peripherals and modern 3.3V controllers without external components |
| Low dynamic noise (VOLP ≤ 0.5V) | Reduces switching-induced ground bounce in dense PCB layouts with shared return paths |
| Power-down input protection | Prevents back-driving or leakage when VCC is off but input signals remain active |
| Latch-up immunity >300mA | Guarantees robustness against transient overvoltage or ESD events in industrial environments |
| PIN- and FUNCTION-compatible | Direct drop-in replacement for 74LVX02, 74LVC32, and other 14-pin quad OR families without layout change |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Expansion | USB-C Power Delivery Logic |

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 | Wider VCC range (1.65–3.6V); lower VIH (2.0V min at VCC=3.3V); no 7V input tolerance | Requires external clamping for 5V inputs; better suited for pure 3.3V-only systems with tighter VIH margins | Select when full 5V input tolerance is unnecessary and lowest possible ICC (<1µA) is prioritized |
| 74AUP1G32GW,125 | Single-gate variant; 0.8–3.6V VCC; 3.7ns tPD; only one OR function per package | Requires four devices to match MC74LVX32D's quad functionality; higher board area and assembly cost | Select when design requires independent supply domains per gate or ultra-low dynamic power (CPD = 4.5pF) |
Compared with SN74LVC32APWR and 74AUP1G32GW,125, the MC74LVX32D uniquely balances 7V input tolerance, quad integration, and sub-5ns speed in a single SOIC-14 package - making it optimal for mixed-voltage industrial and automotive signal aggregation where pin count and interface robustness are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the MC74LVX32D can tolerate?
The MC74LVX32D supports DC input voltages from –0.5V to +7.0V, independent of VCC. This allows direct connection to 5V logic signals even when powered from 3.3V, eliminating external level-shifting components. The specification is absolute-rated and tested per JEDEC standards - exceeding 7.0V risks permanent damage to the input protection diodes.
Can the MC74LVX32D operate with a 5V supply voltage?
No, the MC74LVX32D is not rated for 5V VCC operation. Its recommended VCC range is strictly 2.0V to 3.6V. Applying 5V to VCC violates absolute maximum ratings and may cause excessive ICC, thermal runaway, or latch-up. Input pins tolerate up to 7V, but the internal core requires ≤3.6V supply.
Does the MC74LVX32D require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on unused inputs?
No - unused inputs on the MC74LVX32D may be left floating only if VCC is actively supplied and ambient noise is negligible. However, best practice is to tie unused inputs to VCC or GND to prevent oscillation, increased ICC, or unintended logic transitions. The device does not integrate internal terminations.
How does the MC74LVX32D handle simultaneous switching of multiple outputs?
The MC74LVX32D exhibits balanced propagation delays (tPLH ≈ tPHL) and low output-to-output skew (≤1.5ns), minimizing timing uncertainty when multiple gates switch concurrently. Its low-noise design (VOLP ≤ 0.5V) suppresses ground bounce during simultaneous transitions, preserving signal integrity in high-density layouts.
Is the MC74LVX32D pin-compatible with standard 74-series OR gates?
Yes - the MC74LVX32D uses the industry-standard 14-pin SOIC pinout for quad 2-input OR gates (e.g., 74LS32, 74HC32, 74LVC32). Pin assignments for inputs (A0–A3, B0–B3), outputs (O0–O3), VCC, and GND match exactly, enabling direct PCB replacement without layout modification.
