The SN74ALVC32DR: Input logic thresholds scale with VCC: low at 0.7 V–0.8 V, high at 1.7 V–2.0 V. Quiescent current is 10 µA maximum — the gate draws negligible standby power, which matters in battery-backed or always-on sections of a mixed-voltage board.
2.8 ns propagation delay — timing-critical OR function
Maximum propagation delay is 2.8 ns at 3.3 V with a 50 pF load. In a high-speed datapath — address decoding, clock gating, or interrupt combining — this delay adds directly to the combinational logic depth and must be budgeted in the timing closure analysis. Output drive is 24 mA source and sink, enough to drive the input capacitance of several downstream gates or a low-current LED without a buffer.
14-SOIC — standard reflow footprint
The supplier device package is also 14-SOIC, so no footprint mismatch between the case code and the recommended land pattern.
The 85°C upper limit is the standard industrial ceiling — no derating needed for ambient up to that point.
