N74F38D,602

Inverter Gates Overview

The N74F38D,602 is a quad 2-input NAND buffer featuring open-collector outputs. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and supports an ambient temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. The device utilizes a 14-lead plastic small outline package (SO14) with a body width of 3.9 mm. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum LOW-level output current of 64 mA and propagation delays ranging from 1.5 ns to 14.5 ns depending on the transition direction and operating conditions.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Provides four independent 2-input NAND logic functions
• Features open-collector outputs requiring external pull-up resistors
• Supports standard FAST logic family performance levels

Inverter Gates Applications

• General digital logic buffering and signal inversion
• Open-drain bus interfacing applications
• Level shifting between different voltage domains when paired with appropriate pull-ups

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current product status documentation. Confirm that the SO14 package variant matches the required board layout dimensions. Ensure the commercial temperature rating aligns with the operational environment requirements before finalizing procurement specifications.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring multiple NAND gates in a compact surface-mount footprint. Consider the open-collector nature of the outputs when designing load circuits, as internal pull-ups are not present. Evaluate the propagation delay specifications against the system timing constraints to ensure signal integrity is maintained across all logic transitions.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the 74F series of high-speed logic integrated circuits manufactured by NXP Semiconductors. The 'D' designation indicates the SO14 surface-mount package configuration. The '602' suffix typically denotes specific tape and reel packaging or manufacturing lot details defined by the supplier.
