How to read the 74HC32 pinout
- 01
Find pin 1
One end of the chip has a half-circle notch or a dot; with the notch facing up, the top-left pin is pin 1.
- 02
Count counter-clockwise
Count counter-clockwise from pin 1: go down the left side first, then up the right side from the bottom.
- 03
Check the table below
Look up each pin's function by number in the table below; power/ground are color-coded, and alternate-function signals are in parentheses.
Frequently asked questions
Do the 74HC32 and 74HC08 have the same pinout?
The pin layout is identical; the only difference is the gate logic: the 32 is an OR gate, the 08 is an AND gate.
Can I make a 4-input gate from 2-input ones?
Yes, cascade multiple gates: e.g. feed the outputs of two ORs into a third OR to make a 4-input OR.
Pinout data comes from NXP/TI 74HC32 datasheet (standard DIP-14 numbering). Refer to the actual device datasheet as authoritative for the pinout.
