MC74AC132

The MC74AC/74ACT132 contains four 2-input NAND gates which are capable of transforming slowly changing input signals into sharply defined, jitter-free output signals. In addition, they have greater noise margin than conventional NAND gates.

Each circuit contains a 2-input Schmitt trigger. The Schmitt trigger MC74AC132 uses positive feedback to effectively speed-up slow input transitions, and provide different input threshold voltages for positive and negative-going transitions. MC74AC132 hysteresis between the positive-going and negative-going input threshold is determined by resistor ratios and is essentially insensitive to temperature and supply voltage variations.
