4-ch, 4-input, 4.5-V to 5.5-V NAND gates with Schmitt-Trigger inputs

The ’AHCT132 devices are quadruple positive-NAND gates. These devices perform the Boolean function Y = A • B or Y = A + B in positive logic.

Each circuit functions as a NAND gate, but because of the Schmitt action, it has different input threshold levels for positive- and negative-going signals. These circuits are temperature compensated and can be triggered from the slowest of input ramps and still give clean jitter-free output signals.
