74LVC38APW,118

Inverter Gates Overview

The 74LVC38APW,118 is a quad 2-input NAND gate with open-drain outputs manufactured by NXP USA Inc. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.2 V to 5.5 V and supports inputs driven from 3.3 V or 5 V devices. The device features low power consumption, direct interface with TTL levels, and high ESD protection exceeding 2000 V (HBM). It is available in TSSOP14 packaging and complies with JEDEC standards for various voltage ranges.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Open-drain outputs enable active-LOW wired-OR or active-HIGH wired-AND configurations when connected together.
• 5 V tolerant inputs allow interfacing with 5 V logic while operating at lower supply voltages.
• High electrostatic discharge protection ensures robustness against human body model, machine model, and charged device model events.

Inverter Gates Applications

• Mixed 3.3 V and 5 V logic level translation applications
• Implementing wired-logic functions using open-drain output connections
• General purpose digital logic processing requiring TTL compatibility

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required package type and temperature range. Confirm RoHS compliance status and ensure the component meets the intended environmental operating conditions. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with official datasheets to validate authenticity and revision history before procurement.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when open-drain NAND functionality is required for wired-logic implementations. Ensure the application voltage falls within the 1.2 V to 5.5 V range. Consider the TSSOP14 package constraints for PCB layout and thermal management during design integration.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This component belongs to the 74LVC series of CMOS logic devices. It provides four independent 2-input NAND gates in a single package. The open-drain output structure distinguishes it from standard push-pull logic families, offering flexibility in bus sharing and voltage translation scenarios.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Check for compatible open-drain NAND gates from other manufacturers that match the pinout and electrical specifications. Verify that any substitute maintains the same supply voltage range and ESD protection levels to ensure circuit compatibility.
