SN74LVC2G38DCUT

Inverter Gates Overview

The SN74LVC2G38DCUT is a dual two-input NAND gate with open-drain outputs from Texas Instruments' LVC logic family. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.65 V to 5.5 V and supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. The device features low on-resistance outputs capable of sinking up to 32 mA, enabling direct interface with CMOS, NMOS, and TTL loads. Packaged in an 8-pin VSSOP, it exhibits a typical propagation delay of 4 ns at 3.3 V.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Dual two-input NAND logic function
• Open-drain output configuration for flexible interfacing
• Wide supply voltage operation from 1.65 V to 5.5 V
• High current drive capability for direct load driving

Inverter Gates Applications

• General-purpose digital logic applications
• Interface between different logic families
• Pull-up resistor requirements in open-drain configurations
• Battery-powered systems requiring low voltage operation

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'DCUT' indicates the tape-and-reel packaging variant distinct from cut-tape or tube options. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Ensure ESD handling protocols are followed during assembly due to the small form factor package.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when open-drain NAND functionality is required for wired-AND connections or level shifting. The LVC series offers superior power consumption characteristics compared to older logic families. Verify that the external pull-up voltage aligns with the target system logic levels, as the open-drain output does not source current internally.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the SN74LVC2Gxx series of dual logic gates designed for portable and battery-operated applications. The LVC (Low Voltage CMOS) technology ensures compatibility with modern low-voltage digital systems while maintaining robust noise immunity. The VSSOP-8 package provides a compact footprint suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with SN74LVC2G38DCTR for identical electrical specifications but different reel packaging. Verify pinout compatibility with SN74LVC2G38DCUR if switching suppliers. Ensure any substitute maintains the open-drain output characteristic, as standard push-pull outputs will not function correctly in wired-AND configurations.
