SN74LS38NS is listed in the Inverter Gates range at ChipApex. The manufacturer field lists Texas Instruments. Its product description is IC GATE NAND 4CH 2-INP 14SO. Review the specifications below when checking this part for your BOM.
The SN74LS38NS is a quadruple 2-input positive-NAND buffer manufactured by Texas Instruments, featuring open-collector outputs. It belongs to the SN74LS series of logic gates and utilizes a 14-pin Small Outline Package (SOP). The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V and supports a commercial operating temperature range from 0°C to +70°C.
Verify that the specific ordering suffix 'NS' corresponds to the SOP-14 package variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead finish details against the latest TI documentation, as manufacturing parameters may vary across production revisions.
Select this component when a quad NAND function with open-collector capability is required in a surface-mount format. Ensure the application voltage remains within the specified 4.75 V to 5.25 V limits and that the load conditions match the open-collector output specifications.
This part is part of the SN74LS family, representing Low-power Schottky TTL technology. It provides a balance of speed and power consumption suitable for general digital systems. The SN74LS38 serves as a fundamental building block for creating complex logic functions through its open-collector configuration.
SN74LS38N
The outputs are open-collector, requiring an external pull-up resistor for proper high-level operation.
No, it functions as a positive-NAND buffer, meaning the output is low only when all inputs are high.
