Product details

Single NAND gate with open-drain output — when you need wired-OR or level translation

The SN74LVC1G38DCKT: The open-drain output allows wired-OR connections and level translation to a different voltage than the supply rail.

Input thresholds are 0.7 V to 0.8 V for low and 1.7 V to 2 V for high. Quiescent current maxes at 10 µA. The open-drain output sinks up to 32 mA.

SC-70-5 package — rework and layout notes

The SN74LVC1G38DCKT comes in a 5-lead SC-70-5 (SOT-353) package.

It is ROHS3 compliant.

Frequently asked questions

Does SN74LVC1G38 have an open drain output?

Yes, the SN74LVC1G38 has an open-drain output. This means the output can sink current but cannot source it; an external pull-up resistor is required to pull the output high. This allows wired-OR connections and level translation to a higher voltage than the supply.

What is the difference between SN74LVC1G38 and SN74LVC1G07?

Both are single-gate devices with open-drain outputs, but the SN74LVC1G38 is a 2-input NAND gate, while the SN74LVC1G07 is a buffer/driver. The SN74LVC1G38 performs the NAND logic function; the SN74LVC1G07 simply buffers an input signal. Choose the SN74LVC1G38 when you need logic gating, and the SN74LVC1G07 when you need a non-inverting buffer with open-drain output.
