74LVC2G38DC,125

Inverter Gates Overview

The Nexperia 74LVC2G38DC,125 is a dual 2-input NAND gate with open-drain outputs housed in an 8-lead VSSOP package (SOT765-1). It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.65 V to 5.5 V and supports input voltages up to 5.5 V. The device features Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity and IOFF circuitry for partial power-down protection. Propagation delays range from 0.5 ns to 10.8 ns depending on voltage, with output drive capabilities specified at ±24 mA.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Open-drain outputs allow flexible interfacing and wired logic configurations
• IOFF circuitry prevents backflow current during partial power-down states
• Schmitt-trigger inputs provide tolerance for slow signal transitions
• Direct interface compatibility with TTL logic levels

Inverter Gates Applications

• Mixed 3.3 V and 5 V logic level translation
• Partial power-down mode applications requiring backflow prevention
• Wired-OR or wired-AND logic implementation via open-drain outputs

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required package type. Confirm that the application environment remains within the specified temperature and voltage limits. Ensure design safeguards are implemented to handle the open-drain nature of the outputs correctly.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when open-drain NAND functionality is required in a compact surface-mount package. The wide supply voltage range makes it suitable for low-voltage digital systems. Verify that the load capacitance requirements align with the dynamic performance specifications provided in the datasheet.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the 74LVC family of CMOS logic devices. The 'DC' suffix indicates the VSSOP8 plastic very thin shrink small outline package. It is designed for general-purpose digital applications requiring high noise immunity and low power consumption across a broad voltage spectrum.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Other variants in the 74LVC2G38 series offer different packages such as TSSOP8 (DP) or XSON8 (GT). Ensure the replacement maintains the same logical function and electrical characteristics while accommodating the physical footprint constraints of the target design.
