| FFF Compatibility | The pinout has been verified using datasheet extraction and is a direct 1:1 match in a 14-SOIC package.Both use the standard 14-SOIC package (0.154 in / 3.90 mm width) with identical physical dimensions.Maintains exact electrical specifications including a 4.5V to 5.5V supply, 12.5ns propagation delay, and 64mA sink current. | The pinout has been verified using datasheet extraction and matches the SN74F38D exactly.The physical 14-SOIC package dimensions and lead pitches are identical.The Advanced Low-Power Schottky (ALS) logic family has a lower maximum output sink current (24mA vs. 64mA) and different timing characteristics. | ||
 AI Summary | SN74F38D by Texas Instruments: NAND Gate IC 4 Channel Open Collector 14-SOIC. | This is the direct Tape & Reel packaging version of the obsolete Tube-packaged SN74F38D. It offers completely identical electrical performance and physical dimensions, representing a true drop-in replacement that is currently active and widely available.
| This Advanced Low-Power Schottky (ALS) variant is pin-compatible and operates on the same 5V supply, but is designed for lower power dissipation. It trades off output drive capability and switching speed, making it suitable for applications that do not require the full 64mA sink current.

You searched one part. Parter watches your whole BOM.
All your BOM, at once
Parter maps every line to live stock, lead time, lifecycle and compliance data across the entire market — not part by part.
Hear about problems before they hit production
Allocation, EOL and last-time-buy notices surface the moment they appear, not when your buyer's PO bounces.
Qualified replacements in minutes, not days
Every at-risk line gets form-fit-function matches like the ones above — deltas flagged, evidence attached. Review, push to your BOM, and Parter starts watching the new part too.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. The Texas Instruments SN74F38D is marked obsolete, so the manufacturer has discontinued it and any remaining supply is limited to distributor stock. The qualified second sources on this page are active parts you can design in today.
The closest qualified second sources for the Texas Instruments SN74F38D are the SN74F38DR (Texas Instruments) and the SN74ALS38BDR (Texas Instruments), out of 5 matched alternatives in total. Each is compared against the original on fit, form and function in the table above.
Not always. The alternatives to the SN74F38D are matched on function but can differ in package, pinout or a key parameter, so review the fit/form/function notes in the table and the datasheet before designing one in.
The SN74F38D (Texas Instruments) is a part in the Logic category. This page lists qualified, cross-referenced replacements for it with a side-by-side comparison.
