description

These devices contain four independent 2-input

NAND buffer gates with open-collector outputs.

They perform the Boolean functions Y = A • B or

Y = A + B in positive logic.

The open-collector outputs require pullup

resistors to perform correctly. They may be

connected to other open-collector outputs to

implement active-low wired-OR or active-high

wired-AND functions. Open-collector devices are

often used to generate higher VOH levels.

The SN54F38 is characterized for operation over

the full military temperature range of −55°C to

125°C. The SN74F38 is characterized for

operation from 0°C to 70°C.
