74LS38 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The 74LS38 is a semiconductor component belonging to the 74LS logic family, functioning as a quadruple 2-input positive-NAND buffer. It features open-collector outputs, providing flexibility in circuit design.

This logic gate is designed to operate within a wide temperature range, from -55°C to 125°C, making it suitable for various environmental conditions. The device is available in multiple package options including CDIP, LCCC, and CFP, typically supplied in tubes with quantities such as 25 or 55 pieces.

Its primary function is to perform NAND logic operations on two inputs, with the open-collector output requiring a pull-up resistor for proper operation. This characteristic is beneficial in applications requiring wired-AND logic or specific voltage level shifting.
