SN74CB3Q3245PWR – TEXAS INSTRUMENTS

The SN74CB3Q3245PWR is a quad 2-input OR gate in a space-saving 4.4 x 4.4 mm, 20-pin WSON (WQFN) package. This device belongs to Texas Instruments’ 74CB3 family, signifying its low-power, high-speed characteristics optimized for 3.3V operation. It operates over a 1.65V to 3.6V VCC range, exhibiting a typical propagation delay of 4.5 ns at 3.3V and 25°C. Each gate features Schmitt-trigger inputs, providing robust noise immunity and improved signal conditioning, particularly beneficial in environments with noisy digital signals. The 3.3V tolerant inputs allow for easy interfacing with various logic levels._x000D_

This quad OR gate is ideal for applications requiring high-density logic integration where space is at a premium, such as in portable devices, embedded systems, and high-speed digital signal processing. Its low power consumption contributes to extended battery life in portable designs. The Schmitt-trigger input characteristic enhances reliability by mitigating the effects of signal ringing and slow rise/fall times often encountered in real-world circuits. The 74CB3Q3245PWR’s superior speed and noise immunity make it a strong choice when performance and reliability are critical in a compact form factor.
