The 74LS series of integrated circuits (ICs) was one of the most popular logic families of transistor-transistor logic (TTL) logic chips. 74LS series is a bipolar, low-power Schottky IC. 74LS132 circuit functions as a 2-input NAND gate, but because of the Schmitt action, it has different input threshold levels for positive (VT+) and for negative-going (VT- signals).

74LS132 Features
- Four Independent NAND Gates
- Each Input has Hysteresis for Noise Immunity
- Jitter Free Output
- Operating Temperature up to 70°C
- Standard TTL Switching Voltages
