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.
