DM74ALS38AN

Inverter Gates Overview

The DM74ALS38AN is a Quadruple 2-Input NAND Buffer with Open-Collector Outputs manufactured by onsemi. It utilizes an advanced oxide-isolated, ion-implanted Schottky TTL process. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and supports a free air operating temperature from 0°C to +70°C. It features propagation delay times ranging from 10ns to 33ns for LOW-to-HIGH transitions and 2ns to 21ns for HIGH-to-LOW transitions at 50pF load. The package is a 14-Lead Plastic Dual-In-Line (PDIP).

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Contains four independent gates performing the logic NAND function.
• Open-collector outputs require external pull-up resistors for proper logical operation.
• Functionally and pin-for-pin compatible with LS TTL counterparts.
• Switching specifications are guaranteed over the full temperature and VCC range.

Inverter Gates Applications

• Digital logic buffering applications requiring open-collector outputs.
• Systems utilizing standard LS TTL logic families.
• General-purpose digital circuit designs compatible with 5V logic levels.

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code suffix 'N' corresponds to the 14-Lead PDIP package as documented in official datasheets. Confirm that the component meets the required RoHS compliance status for your region. Ensure that the manufacturer source matches the authorized distributor records to avoid counterfeit parts. Check for any specific lifecycle status updates regarding availability or obsolescence before finalizing procurement plans.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a quadruple 2-input NAND buffer with open-collector outputs is required. It is suitable for designs needing compatibility with LS TTL standards while offering improved AC performance. Consider the PDIP package constraints for through-hole mounting requirements. Verify that external pull-up resistors can be integrated into the design to support the open-collector output structure effectively.

Inverter Gates Part Context
