74LCX38SJX

Inverter Gates Overview

The onsemi 74LCX38SJX is a low-voltage quad 2-input NAND gate with open-drain outputs, manufactured using advanced CMOS technology. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.0V to 3.6V and features 5V-tolerant inputs capable of withstanding up to 7V, facilitating interface between 5V and 3V systems. The device provides high noise immunity through proprietary EMI reduction circuits and offers strong drive capability with output currents reaching 24mA at 3.0V. It exhibits low static power consumption of 10µA and maintains high-impedance states during power-down conditions.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Features 5V-tolerant inputs for seamless interfacing between 5V and 3V logic systems
• Provides high noise immunity via proprietary noise/EMI reduction circuitry
• Delivers strong output drive capability suitable for demanding loads
• Maintains high-impedance input and output states when powered down

Inverter Gates Applications

• Interface bridging between 5V and 3V digital systems
• Open-drain logic applications requiring wired-AND functionality
• Low-power portable electronic devices
• General-purpose digital signal processing interfaces

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'SJX' against the official datasheet to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with RoHS standards if required by your manufacturing process. Confirm availability status as lifecycle information may vary by region. Cross-reference ordering codes with manufacturer documentation to avoid substitution errors.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when open-drain NAND logic is required in low-voltage environments. The 5V tolerance makes it ideal for mixed-voltage designs. Consider the SOP-14 package constraints for PCB layout. Evaluate the 24mA drive current against load requirements. Verify that the 2.0V minimum supply voltage meets system power rails.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the LCX family of low-voltage CMOS logic devices from onsemi. The LCX series is designed for high-speed operation with low power consumption. The 74LCX38 specifically implements quad 2-input NAND gates with open-drain outputs, distinguishing it from standard push-pull variants like the 74LCX00.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible substitutes such as the 74LCX38M or 74LCX38MX_NL. Verify electrical parameters match, particularly the open-drain configuration and 5V tolerance. Ensure the alternative device supports the same SOP-14 package if board space is constrained.
