74ALVC38
Low Voltage Quad 2-Input NAND Gate with
Open Drain Outputs and
3.6V Tolerant Inputs and Outputs
General Description
The ALVC38 contains four 2-input NAND gates with open
drain outputs. This product is designed for low voltage
(1.4V to 3.6V) V
CC
applications with I/O compatibility up to
3.6V.
The ALVC38 is fabricated with advanced CMOS technol-
ogy to achieve high-speed operation while maintaining
CMOS low power dissipation.
