A NAND IC with open-collector outputs and transistor-transistor logic (TTL) — NAND integrated circuit (IC)

Quantity: 1

Output-typeOpen-collector
Logic-levelsTTL
TI SN7438N

This is a chip with four NAND gates, $5$ V supply (TTL), and open-collector outputs. Get the PDIP package for breadboard prototyping. The 7401 will also work, but we have chosen the 7438 because it is currently more readily available. The 7438 can handle more current, but this is not necessary for our application.
