Each of the four independent gates performs the Boolean OR function on two inputs, making this a standard building block for glue logic, combinatorial signal routing, and control-path gating in digital systems. The 74AC series delivers higher speed and lower power than the original 74HC family while maintaining CMOS-level noise margins. This part is housed in a 14-pin plastic DIP (0.300\" body width) for through-hole assembly, which suits prototyping, legacy board rework, and designs where vibration resistance or manual soldering is preferred over surface-mount. The industrial temperature range from -40°C to 85°C covers most factory-floor, outdoor telecom, and automotive cabin environments. Typical applications include address decoding, clock gating, signal multiplexing, and general-purpose logic consolidation in PLC I/O modules, motor drive control boards, and instrumentation backplanes. ## Lifecycle and sourcing posture The SN74AC32N carries an active lifecycle status with ROHS3 compliance. There is no last-time-buy notice or NRND flag on this part. For a BOM line that needs a through-hole OR gate, this part is a stable, non-obsoleting choice. Pricing and availability are confirmed at quote time through independent distribution channels — no allocation pressure on this mature logic family.","metaTitle":"SN74AC32N TI 74AC Quad 2-Input OR Gate, 14-DIP, Active","metaDescription":"Texas Instruments SN74AC32N quad 2-input OR gate in 14-DIP package. 2V-6V supply, 7.5ns prop delay at 5V/50pF, -40°C to 85°C.

The 74AC series offers faster propagation delay (7.5ns vs approximately 10-15ns for HC at 5V) and higher output drive (24mA vs approximately 4mA for HC). The 74AC also has tighter input threshold specifications. For a direct replacement in an existing HC socket, verify the input logic levels match your driving stage — AC thresholds are lower than HC, which can improve noise margin on 3.3V systems but may cause false triggering if the upstream driver has weak high-level output."},{"question":"Is SN74AC32N pin compatible with 74LS32?","answer":"Yes, the SN74AC32N is pin-compatible with the 74LS32 in the same 14-DIP footprint. Both are quad 2-input OR gates with the same pinout (GND pin 7, VCC pin 14). The AC version operates at lower power and wider supply range than the bipolar LS family."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/texas-instruments/SN74AC32N","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/texas-instruments/SN74AC32N when reusing this data.
