AI Summary

SN74F38D by Texas Instruments: NAND Gate IC 4 Channel Open Collector 14-SOIC.

This is the exact same quad 2-input NAND buffer with open-collector outputs in the 14-pin SOIC package, but shipped in tape-and-reel packaging instead of tubes. Since the tube version is obsolete, this active part number serves as the primary direct replacement.

  • 100% pin-compatible drop-in replacement
  • Identical 64 mA low-level output drive current
  • Identical fast 12.5 ns propagation delay

This standard bipolar TTL alternative provides the same open-collector NAND buffer functionality in an identical 14-SOIC footprint. It offers a slightly reduced drive capability and slower propagation delay compared to the fast 74F series.

  • Pin-compatible drop-in package
  • Same 4.5V to 5.5V supply voltage range
  • Capable 48 mA low-level output drive current
  • Slower propagation speed: 22 ns vs 12.5 ns
  • Slightly lower output drive: 48 mA vs 64 mA

You searched one part. Parter watches your whole BOM.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
