Key Features
- Quad 2-input OR gate with 4 independent channels enabling compact multi-signal combinational logic on a single IC
- AC-family high-speed CMOS technology supporting 24 mA output drive current for robust fanout to multiple logic inputs
- Through-hole 14-pin DIP package ideal for prototyping, education, and legacy board repair applications
Applications
CD74AC32E is used in digital logic design for combinational gating, signal multiplexing, interrupt combining, and address decoding circuits in microprocessor-based systems. Its 4 independent OR channels allow a single IC to merge up to 4 pairs of digital signals, reducing gate count in bus controllers and PLC I/O expanders. The DIP package makes it popular in educational electronics kits, breadboard prototyping, and through-hole PCB designs where socket-mountable components are preferred.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many logic signals can be combined using a single CD74AC32E in an interrupt controller circuit?
CD74AC32E provides 4 independent 2-input OR gates, allowing up to 8 interrupt source signals to be combined into 4 outputs using all gates individually, or further cascaded to merge 8 sources into 1 output using 3 gates in a tree topology. With 24 mA output current per gate, each output can drive multiple CMOS inputs simultaneously with adequate noise margin across the specified 2 V to 6 V supply range.
What supply voltage range does CD74AC32E support and does it interface with both 3.3 V and 5 V logic systems?
CD74AC32E operates from a 2 V to 6 V supply voltage, making it compatible with both 3.3 V and 5 V CMOS logic families. When powered at 5 V, input thresholds are approximately 1.5 V for logic low and 3.5 V for logic high, accepting 3.3 V CMOS outputs with adequate noise margin. This cross-voltage compatibility eliminates level shifters in mixed-voltage boards with 3.3 V microcontrollers driving 5 V peripheral logic.
When is CD74AC32E a better choice than a software OR operation in a microcontroller for combining sensor alert signals?
A software OR operation introduces interrupt latency of 1 µs to 10 µs depending on CPU clock and interrupt handler overhead, which is unacceptable for safety-critical sensor alerts requiring sub-100 ns response. CD74AC32E performs the OR function in hardware with propagation delay under 10 ns at 5 V, ensuring the combined alert reaches the MCU interrupt pin within nanoseconds. This hardware approach also works during CPU sleep modes, maintaining sensor monitoring without keeping the MCU core powered.
