The SN74F38D is a quad 2-input positive-NAND buffers with open collector outputs contains four independent circuits. This device performs the Boolean functions Y = (A • B)\ or Y = A\ + B\ in positive logic. The open-collector outputs require pull-up resistors to perform correctly. This device may be connected to other open-collector outputs to implement active-low wired-OR or active-high wired-AND functions. Open-collector devices are often used to generate higher VOH levels.
