Active production — no end-of-life watch needed
The SN74HCT32N carries an Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant.
Quiescent current and output drive
Quiescent supply current is 2 µA max, so the gate itself adds negligible idle power — relevant if this sits on a board that spends most of its time in a low-power sleep state. Output drive is 4 mA source and 4 mA sink, typical for HCT. That drives one or two standard LSTTL loads directly; for a higher fan-out or a long trace, buffer the output or use a 74ACT variant.
