74LS38 IC Quad 2-Input NAND Buffer DIP-14 74LS38

Product Overview

The 74LS38 is a digital logic device containing four independent 2-input NAND buffer gates. Notably, this device features open-collector outputs, which require external pull-up resistors to ensure proper logical operation and are often used for wired-OR/AND functions or to generate higher output voltage levels.
