Product details
Overview
SN74ALS32NSR from Texas Instruments is a quadruple 2-input positive-OR gate logic IC in a 14-pin SOP (NS) package, operating from 0°C to 70°C with VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, tPHL/tPLH ≤ 14 ns (max), and IOL = 4 mA (min). It performs Y = A + B in positive logic and is used in digital control signal routing, bus arbitration, and discrete logic consolidation in industrial control panels.
For engineers reviewing the SN74ALS32NSR datasheet, SN74ALS32NSR pinout, SN74ALS32NSR application, or SN74ALS32NSR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package dimensions, functional role in TTL-compatible systems, and validated drop-in alternatives for legacy board refreshes and repair sourcing.
Technical Context
This device belongs to the 74ALS family and implements four independent OR gates using bipolar Schottky-clamped transistor logic. Each gate accepts two inputs and drives a totem-pole output capable of sinking 4 mA or sourcing –0.4 mA under standard conditions.
It operates strictly within TTL voltage thresholds: VIL = 0.8 V (max), VIH = 2.0 V (min), VOL = 0.4 V (max at 4 mA), and VOH = VCC – 2 V (min). Propagation delay is characterized at CL = 50 pF and RL = 500 Ω across the full commercial temperature range.
Key Specifications

| Propagation Delay (tPHL/tPLH) | ≤ 14 ns max - ensures timing predictability in synchronous control paths up to ~35 MHz toggle rate |
| Output Drive (IOL) | 4 mA min - sufficient to directly drive multiple 74LS inputs or small LEDs without buffering |
| Input Thresholds | VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V - guarantees interoperability with 74LS, 74S, and legacy TTL families |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - qualified for commercial-grade embedded systems, test equipment, and office automation |
| Package | SOP (NS), 14-pin - surface-mount footprint with 1.27 mm pitch, 8.1 mm × 10.4 mm body, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar OR gate applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74ALS32N | Same logic function, electrical specs, and temperature range; PDIP-14 through-hole package instead of SOP-14 | Requires through-hole assembly and larger PCB area; not suitable for automated SMT lines | Select when hand-soldering, prototyping, or replacing legacy DIP sockets |
| SN74AS32NSR | Faster propagation (≤ 5.8 ns max), higher drive (IOL = 20 mA), but higher ICC (16.5 mA typical) and same SOP-14 footprint | Better suited for high-speed timing-critical paths but increases power and heat in static logic networks | Select when <10 ns delay is mandatory and power budget allows; verify thermal derating in dense layouts |
Compared with SN74ALS32N, SN74ALS32NSR saves board space and enables automated assembly, while SN74AS32NSR trades higher power for significantly faster switching-making SN74ALS32NSR optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained commercial logic consolidation.

FAQ
What logic family does SN74ALS32NSR belong to, and how does it differ from 74LS?
SN74ALS32NSR is part of the 74ALS (Advanced Low-Power Schottky) family. It offers faster propagation delay (≤14 ns vs. ≤17 ns for 74LS32) and lower power consumption (ICCL ≈ 4.9 mA vs. ≈ 8 mA for 74LS32) while retaining identical pinout, truth table, and TTL-compatible voltage thresholds. This makes SN74ALS32NSR a direct performance upgrade for existing 74LS32 designs without layout changes.
Is SN74ALS32NSR pin-compatible with SN74ALS32N?
Yes, SN74ALS32NSR is functionally and pinout-compatible with SN74ALS32N. Both share identical logic behavior, electrical specifications, and 14-pin assignment (1A–4Y, GND, VCC). The only difference is package type: NSR is SOP (surface-mount), N is PDIP (through-hole). Land patterns differ, but signal routing and netlist remain unchanged.
What is the maximum capacitive load SN74ALS32NSR can drive reliably?
SN74ALS32NSR is characterized for CL = 50 pF in its switching specifications, with tPHL/tPLH guaranteed ≤14 ns under those conditions. Driving loads >50 pF increases propagation delay nonlinearly and may cause marginal timing in high-speed chains. For >100 pF, add a buffer stage or reduce trace length and stubs to maintain signal integrity.
Can SN74ALS32NSR operate at 3.3 V?
No. SN74ALS32NSR is specified only for VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V. At 3.3 V, it fails to meet VIH/VIL thresholds, exhibits excessive propagation delay, and risks unreliable output states. For 3.3 V systems, consider TI's 74LVC32 or 74AUP1G32 families instead of SN74ALS32NSR.
Does SN74ALS32NSR have ESD protection, and what is its rating?
SN74ALS32NSR includes built-in ESD protection on all pins, rated per JEDEC JS-001 to ±2 kV HBM (Human Body Model). This meets standard handling requirements for automated assembly and bench testing but does not replace proper ESD-safe practices during PCB handling or system integration. No additional external protection is needed for typical factory environments.
