Product details
Overview
N74F3037D,512 from Philips Semiconductors is a quad 2-input NAND gate IC engineered as a high-current 30Ω transmission-line driver for incident-wave switching on PCBs. It delivers 67mA source and 160mA sink output drive at VCC ≥ 4.5V, guarantees VOH ≥ 2.0V and VOL ≤ 0.50V into 30Ω loads, and achieves 2.0ns typical propagation delay-enabling reliable high-speed digital interconnect in backplane and bus-driver applications.
For engineers reviewing the N74F3037D,512 datasheet, N74F3037D,512 pinout, N74F3037D,512 application, or N74F3037D,512 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 30Ω line-driving capability, industrial temperature support (–40°C to +85°C), dual GND/VCC pins for low-inductance supply routing, TTL-compatible input thresholds, and confirmed 16-pin SO package (SOT162-1) with pin-accurate logic mapping.
Technical Context
The N74F3037D,512 implements four independent 2-input NAND gates with totem-pole outputs optimized for transmission-line driving-not general-purpose logic. Its output stage is characterized for continuous-duty 30Ω load switching, where incident-wave behavior dominates over reflected-wave settling.
Propagation delay remains minimally affected by signal reflections when terminated only by TTL inputs, and performance improves with partial or full line termination. The device uses dual VCC (pins 12,13) and dual GND (pins 4,5) to reduce lead inductance (3nH each), directly supporting high-edge-rate integrity in dense layouts.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 30Ω line-driving NAND applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74F3037N | DIP-16 package (SOT38-4); no dual VCC/GND pins - higher supply inductance (≈6nH) | Limited to lower-edge-rate (<150MHz) or short-trace applications due to degraded incident-wave fidelity | Select when through-hole assembly or prototyping on breadboard/perfboard is required |
| 74ACT3037D | Advanced CMOS process; 5V-only supply; 24mA/24mA drive - insufficient for 30Ω incident-wave switching | Suitable only for fan-out buffering into high-impedance TTL loads, not transmission-line driving | Select only for low-power, noise-immune logic translation where 30Ω drive is unnecessary |
Compared with SN74F3037N and 74ACT3037D, the N74F3037D,512 uniquely combines industrial temperature rating, dual-supply-pin layout, and 160mA sink capability - making it the sole option among these three qualified for reliable 30Ω incident-wave driving in production-grade industrial PCBs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current rating for N74F3037D,512 in the low state?
The N74F3037D,512 is rated for 160mA continuous sink current per output (IOL1) at VCC = 4.5V, validated for incident-wave switching into 30Ω loads with VOL ≤ 0.50V. This rating applies across all four outputs simultaneously under continuous duty - a key differentiator from standard 74F logic buffers.
Does N74F3037D,512 support operation at VCC = 4.5V while maintaining guaranteed VOH and VOL?
Yes. The N74F3037D,512 is fully specified at VCC = 4.5V minimum: VOH ≥ 2.0V (with IOH = –67mA) and VOL ≤ 0.50V (with IOL = 160mA). These limits are explicitly defined in the DC Electrical Characteristics table and apply across the full industrial temperature range.
How does the dual VCC and dual GND configuration of N74F3037D,512 improve high-speed performance?
The dual VCC (pins 12,13) and dual GND (pins 4,5) in the N74F3037D,512 reduce effective supply lead inductance to 3nH per rail. This minimizes ground bounce and supply droop during simultaneous 160mA output transitions - preserving edge fidelity and enabling reliable incident-wave switching on fast-rising digital signals.
Is N74F3037D,512 pin-compatible with standard 74F3037 SO packages from other manufacturers?
The N74F3037D,512 uses the SOT162-1 16-pin SO package with identical pinout to the original Philips 74F3037D. However, due to proprietary drive-stage optimization and dual-supply-pin implementation, direct substitution with non-Philips 74F3037 variants is not guaranteed without validation of output drive strength and thermal derating under continuous 160mA load.
What is the recommended termination strategy when using N74F3037D,512 to drive 50Ω PCB traces?
For 50Ω traces, the N74F3037D,512 supports partial termination: place a 20Ω series resistor at the driver output to match its intrinsic 30Ω output impedance, resulting in 50Ω total source termination. This preserves incident-wave logic levels while minimizing reflections - no end-of-line termination required for trace lengths <15 cm.
