The SN74AHCT132DR is a high-speed CMOS logic gate manufactured by Texas Instruments. It is a part of the 74AHCT series of logic gates, which are designed for high-speed operation and low power consumption.
Description:
The SN74AHCT132DR is a 3-to-8 line decoder/demultiplexer. It has three input lines (A, B, and C) and eight output lines (Y0 to Y7). The decoder is used to select one of the eight output lines based on the input combination.
Features:
- High-speed operation: The SN74AHCT132DR has a fast propagation delay of typically 3.5 ns, making it suitable for high-speed applications.
- Low power consumption: The device operates with a low supply current of 2.6 mA, which makes it energy-efficient.
- 3-state outputs: The outputs can be placed in a high-impedance state (off-state) when not selected, which is useful for applications where multiple decoders are used in parallel.
- Active-low enable input: The device has an active-low enable input (G) that allows the entire decoder to be disabled, saving power and reducing crosstalk.
- Wide supply voltage range: The SN74AHCT132DR can operate with a supply voltage range of 2V to 6V, making it suitable for various applications and environments.
Applications:
- Digital signal routing: The decoder can be used to route digital signals to one of multiple destinations based on the input conditions.
- Microcontroller I/O expansion: The SN74AHCT132DR can be used to expand the number of I/O lines in a microcontroller system, allowing for more input and output options.
- Telecommunications: The high-speed operation of the SN74AHCT132DR makes it suitable for use in telecommunications equipment, where signal routing and switching are required.
- LCD and LED control: The decoder can be used to control the segments and multiplexing of LCD and LED displays, allowing for efficient driving of these types of displays.
- Address decoding: In memory systems, the SN74AHCT132DR can be used to decode address lines and select specific memory locations.
In summary, the SN74AHCT132DR is a high-speed, low-power, 3-to-8 line decoder/demultiplexer with 3-state outputs and an active-low enable input. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, including digital signal routing, microcontroller I/O expansion, telecommunications, LCD/LED control, and address decoding in memory systems.
