The 74LCX38MTC is a high-speed low voltage advanced CMOS quad 2-input NAND gate IC component. It belongs to the 74LCX series family of logic components manufactured by Texas Instruments. This IC offers various key features that make it suitable for a wide range of applications.
One of the notable features of the 74LCX38MTC is its low voltage operation capability. It can operate at a voltage as low as 2.0V, making it ideal for battery-powered devices with limited power supply. This low voltage operation also contributes to its low power consumption, which is advantageous for minimizing energy usage.
Furthermore, this IC component offers high-speed operation, which allows for rapid switching and processing of signals. It has a propagation delay of only 4.5ns, enabling efficient data transfer and reliable performance in time-sensitive applications.
The 74LCX38MTC consists of four independent 2-input NAND gates. Each NAND gate accepts two input signals and provides an output based on the logical NAND operation. These gates are built with advanced CMOS technology, which ensures high noise immunity, efficient power consumption, and compatibility with various logic families.
Additionally, this IC component features a tri-state output function. With this function, the output of each NAND gate can be turned off, entering a high impedance state. This enables multiple gates to be connected together without adversely affecting the system operation or causing signal conflicts
