The MM74HC132N is an integrated circuit (IC) component from the 74HC family series, specifically the 74HC132. It is a quad 2-input NAND gate with Schmitt-trigger inputs. The IC is designed to work in a wide range of applications that require signal buffering, digital logic, and level translation.
One of the key features of the MM74HC132N is its Schmitt-trigger inputs. These inputs are designed to provide hysteresis, which helps in reducing signal noise and providing a more reliable output even in the presence of input fluctuations. This makes the IC ideal for applications where signal integrity is critical.
The IC consists of four independent 2-input NAND gates. Each gate has two inputs (A and B) and one output (Y). The inputs are compatible with both CMOS and TTL logic levels, allowing for seamless integration with other components. The output is capable of driving standard TTL or CMOS loads, which offers flexibility in connecting to various devices.
Furthermore, the MM74HC132N operates at a supply voltage range of 2V to 6V, making it compatible with a wide range of power supply systems. It has a high-speed operation, enabling fast signal processing in digital systems. With its low power consumption, the IC is efficient and suitable for battery-powered devices or applications where energy efficiency is important
