† Stresses beyond those listed under "absolute maximum ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under "recommended operating conditions" is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

These SN54ALS38B and SN74ALS38B devices contain four independent 2-input positive-NAND buffers with open-collector outputs. SN54ALS38B and SN74ALS38B  perform the Boolean functions Y = A • B or Y = A + B in positive logic. The open-collector outputs require pullup resistors to perform correctly. These outputs may be connected to other open-collector outputs to implement active-low wired-OR or active-high wired-AND functions. Open-collector devices often are used to generate higher V_OH levels. The SN54ALS38B is characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of 55°C to 125°C. The SN74ALS38B is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C.
