1. General description
The 74LVC38A provides four 2-input NAND functions. The outputs are open-drain and
can be connected to other open-drain outputs to implement active-LOW wired-OR or
active-HIGH wired-AND functions.
Inputs can be driven from either 3.3 V or 5 V devices. This feature allows the use of these
devices as translators in mixed 3.3 V and 5 V applications.
2. Features and benefits
5 V tolerant inputs for interfacing with 5 V logic
Wide supply voltage range from 1.2 V to 5.5 V
CMOS low power consumption
Direct interface with TTL levels
Open-drain outputs
Complies with JEDEC standard:
JESD8-7A (1.65 V to 1.95 V
JESD8-5A (2.3 V to 2.7 V
JESD8-C/JESD36 (2.7 V to 3.6 V
ESD protection:
HBM JESD22-A114F exceeds 2000 V
MM JESD22-A115B exceeds 200 V
CDM JESD22-C101E exceeds 1000 V
Specified from 40 Cto+85C and 40 Cto+125C

(1) This is not a supply pin. The substrate is attached to this
pad using conductive die attach material. There is no
electrical or mechanical requirement to solder this pad.
However, if it is soldered, the solder land should remain
floating or be connected to GND.
