SN74LS38N

Texas Instruments · Logic Gates · PDIP-14

SN74LS38N from Texas Instruments, in a PDIP-14. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 1A input Gate 1 input A; output 1Y is low only when both 1A and 1B are high.
2 1B input Gate 1 input B of the 2-input NAND buffer.
3 1Y output Gate 1 open-collector output, which requires an external pull-up resistor.
4 2A input Gate 2 input A of the 2-input NAND buffer.
5 2B input Gate 2 input B of the 2-input NAND buffer.
6 2Y output Gate 2 open-collector output, which requires an external pull-up resistor.
7 GND power_in Ground pin.
8 3Y output Gate 3 open-collector output, which requires an external pull-up resistor.
9 3A input Gate 3 input A of the 2-input NAND buffer.
10 3B input Gate 3 input B of the 2-input NAND buffer.
11 4Y output Gate 4 open-collector output, which requires an external pull-up resistor.
12 4A input Gate 4 input A of the 2-input NAND buffer.
13 4B input Gate 4 input B of the 2-input NAND buffer.
14 VCC power_in Positive supply voltage pin.
