N74F38D,623

Inverter Gates Overview

The N74F38D,623 is a quad 2-input NAND buffer with open-collector outputs manufactured by Nexperia USA Inc. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports an ambient temperature range of 0 °C to +70 °C. The device features a propagation delay of up to 12.5 ns at 5 V with 50 pF load capacitance. It provides a low-level output current capability of 64 mA and utilizes a 14-SO plastic small outline package.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Provides four independent 2-input NAND logic functions

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '623' against official Nexperia documentation to confirm the tape-and-reel packaging configuration. Confirm that the commercial temperature range (0 °C to +70 °C) meets your system requirements, as industrial variants exist. Ensure compatibility with standard SO14 footprint dimensions during PCB layout.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring multiple NAND gates with open-collector capabilities in a compact surface-mount package. Consider the 64 mA sink current capacity for driving external loads directly. Evaluate the 12.5 ns maximum propagation delay against your system's timing constraints to ensure adequate signal integrity.

Inverter Gates Part Context
