N74F3038N,602

Inverter Gates Overview

The N74F3038N,602 is a Quad 2-input NAND line driver with open-collector outputs. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and supports an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. The device features a propagation delay of 6.0ns typical at 25°C and can sink up to 160mA output current. It is housed in a 16-pin Plastic DIP package (SOT38-4).

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Designed for incident wave switching on transmission lines.
• High current drive capability of 160mA.
• Open-collector outputs facilitate driving low impedance loads.

Inverter Gates Applications

• Driving transmission lines on PC boards.
• High-speed logic interfacing requiring high current sinks.
• Applications utilizing incident wave switching techniques.

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'N' corresponds to the 16-pin Plastic DIP package (SOT38-4) as defined in the datasheet. Confirm that the commercial grade rating meets the required ambient temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. Ensure pull-up resistor values are selected to maintain total output current within the 160mA limit while accounting for receiver input currents.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when driving transmission lines with impedances as low as 30Ω. The open-collector architecture requires external pull-up resistors; reducing these values from 500Ω to 100Ω can decrease propagation delay by approximately 50%. Verify that the load capacitance does not exceed 50pF for standard AC specification compliance.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the 74F (FAST) logic family, characterized by high speed and reduced power consumption compared to earlier standards. The 74F3038 specifically addresses transmission line effects caused by fast edge rates in printed circuit board designs.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

The N74F3038D,602 is available in a 16-pin Plastic SOL package (SOT162-1) with identical electrical characteristics.

Inverter Gates FAQ

How does the pull-up resistor value affect performance?

Reducing the pull-up resistor value from 500Ω to 100Ω decreases the tPLH propagation delay by approximately 50%, though it slightly increases tPHL.

What is the maximum output current capability?

The device can sink 160mA with a VCC as low as 4.5V, ensuring incident wave switching with VOL not more than 0.8V.
