NC7SV38L6X

Inverter Gates Overview

The NC7SV38L6X is a single 2-input NAND gate from the TinyLogic ULP-A series by Fairchild Semiconductor. It features an open-drain output structure capable of sourcing up to 24 mA low-level output current. The device operates across a wide supply voltage range, with a maximum rating of 3.6 V. Designed for ultra-low power applications, it supports input voltages up to 3.6 V regardless of the supply voltage, facilitating level shifting between different logic families.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Open-drain output configuration allows flexible interfacing and wired-OR capabilities
• Ultra-low power architecture suitable for battery-operated devices
• Wide supply voltage operation enables compatibility with various system voltages

Inverter Gates Applications

• Portable consumer electronics requiring minimal power consumption
• Level shifting interfaces between different logic voltage domains
• Battery-powered systems where energy efficiency is critical

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin, as Fairchild Semiconductor's logic division was acquired by onsemi. Ensure the component matches the specific L6X suffix for the SC-70-5 package variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required for your manufacturing process. Cross-reference the datasheet version to ensure technical specifications align with your design requirements before finalizing procurement.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact NAND gate with open-drain outputs is needed for low-power designs. The SC-70-5 package offers space savings compared to standard packages. Consider the 24 mA sink capability for driving loads directly. Verify that the open-drain nature suits your circuit topology, as pull-up resistors are required for high-state output levels.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the TinyLogic ULP-A family, designed for high-speed, low-power digital applications. The NC7SV38 series provides basic logic functions in small form factors. The L6X designation specifically indicates the SC-70-5 surface-mount package type, distinguishing it from other pinout or package variations within the same logical function family.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Check for direct equivalents from onsemi, which now manufactures the former Fairchild logic lines. Verify pin compatibility and electrical characteristics against alternative vendors' NAND gates in SC-70-5 packages. Ensure any substitute maintains the open-drain output specification and similar power consumption profiles.
