Product details

Open-drain NAND — the wired-OR enabler

The SN74LVC1G38DBVR: The open-drain output is the key differentiator: it lets you wire multiple outputs together to implement a wired-OR function, or pull the output to a different voltage rail than the supply, making it useful for level translation and bus sharing.

3.9 ns at 5 V — timing margin for 50 MHz+ clocks

Maximum propagation delay is 3.9 ns at 5 V with a 50 pF load.

That means it can sit in a motor-drive enclosure, an outdoor telecom cabinet, or an engine-bay module without derating. The 10 µA max quiescent current keeps the power draw negligible in always-on circuits.

SOT-23-5 package — small footprint for dense boards

Housed in a SOT-23-5 package, surface-mount only. The open-drain output can sink 32 mA.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between SN74LVC1G38 and SN74LVC1G08?

The SN74LVC1G38 has an open-drain output, while the SN74LVC1G08 has a standard push-pull output. The open-drain output on the '38 lets you wire multiple outputs together for a wired-OR function or pull the output to a different voltage than the supply — useful for level shifting. The '08 cannot do that; its output swings rail-to-rail.

Can SN74LVC1G38DBVR be used as a level shifter?

Yes. The input thresholds scale with VCC, so the low-level threshold (0.7 V to 0.8 V) and high-level threshold (1.7 V to 2 V) accommodate common logic families.
