CD74HC132M

CD74HC132M is a quad-input NAND gate with a Schmitt trigger input buffer. It is applicable when noise immunity, hysteresis, and flexibility of design are the primary design considerations. It allows the combining of inputs from 15 sources while maintaining stable output levels, providing not only noise immunity, but also greater design flexibility in digital systems.

CD74HC132M is a product of Texas Instruments. It is part of the E Series of the 74HC family which uses high speed CMOS logic technology. The device utilizes advanced silicon-gate CMOS to achieve the high speed, high output drive, low power consumption, and advanced circuitry featured in the 74HC logic family. It is designed to operate at a single 5V power supply.

CD74HC132M is a versatile quad-input NAND gate which is suitable for use in digital systems where noise immunity, hysteresis, and flexibility of design are important considerations.

Working Principle

A NAND gate is a logic gate which functions as an inverter and as an AND gate. The symbol for a NAND gate is an indented AND gate with a small circle at its output. The circled output forces the output to be inverted. A NAND gate with two or more inputs will output a ‘1’ only when all inputs are ‘0’.

The CD74HC132M has four independent buffered inputs and one output. The inputs can be connected as either logic ‘0’ or logic ‘1’, providing a much greater range of possibilities than the logic ‘1’ gate. Each input has a Schmitt trigger input buffer, which helps to reduce noise. The Schmitt trigger also allows the device to switch more quickly, making it more suitable for high speed applications.

When all inputs are non-active (logic 0’s), the device will output a ‘1’. When one or more inputs become active (logic 1’s), the device will output a ‘0’. The device also has power supply noise suppression and is capable of driving up to 10 LS-TTL loads.

The CD74HC132M is a versatile device capable of a wide range of applications. It is suitable for use in digital systems where noise immunity, hysteresis, and flexibility of design are important considerations. Its high speed and low power consumption make it a great choice for today’s applications.
