Product Overview
Philips Semiconductor 74HCT32N is a high-speed Si-gate CMOS integrated circuit containing four independent 2-input positive-OR gates in a 14-pin dual in-line package. Engineered with TTL-compatible input switching thresholds, this device provides pin and logic compatibility with classic 74LS series bipolar circuits while delivering low CMOS power dissipation. It operates across a nominal 4.5V to 5.5V supply range and features standard push-pull outputs capable of directly driving TTL, NMOS, and CMOS inputs.
Key Features
- Four independent 2-input positive-OR logic gates
- TTL-compatible input voltage switching thresholds for direct drop-in replacement of 74LS32 gates
- Operating supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V
- Standard 14-lead plastic dual in-line package (DIP-14)
- Push-pull outputs interface directly with TTL, NMOS, and CMOS logic families
Applications
- Replacing damaged logic gates on vintage computer mainboards and industrial controller boards
- Assembling digital logic prototypes and hobbyist breadboard computing sub-circuits
- Interfacing 5V TTL control stages with modern CMOS logic architectures
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the 74HCT32N replace a standard 74LS32 logic chip?
Yes. The 74HCT series features TTL-compatible input voltage levels and identical pin assignments, allowing direct drop-in substitution for 74LS32 bipolar OR gates in standard 5V circuits.
What supply voltage does this IC require?
The 74HCT32 operates within a standard VCC supply range of 4.5V to 5.5V.
Why buy a single genuine Philips 74HCT32N instead of a bulk lot?
For bench repairs, legacy restoration, or breadboard development, purchasing an individually cataloged, verified-marking component provides the exact part needed without excess inventory overhead. Shipping is $8 flat rate, free once the order passes $28, and orders leave the Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
When you just need four honest OR gates to settle an old logic line, a genuine through-hole DIP-14 chip from the classic semiconductor era gets the job done cleanly.
