3 Description

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.
