74HC366PW,118

Overview

The Nexperia 74HC366PW,118 is a hex inverting buffer and line driver featuring three-state outputs controlled by active-low output enable inputs (OE1, OE2). It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 6.0 V and supports an ambient temperature range from -40 °C to +125 °C. The device utilizes CMOS technology for low power dissipation and includes input clamp diodes to interface with voltages exceeding VCC via current-limiting resistors. It is housed in a TSSOP16 package (SOT403-1) with 16 leads.

Feature Summary

• Hex inverting buffer/line driver with three-state outputs
• Wide supply voltage range from 2.0 V to 6.0 V
• CMOS low power dissipation and high noise immunity
• Input clamp diodes allow interfacing to voltages above VCC

Applications

• Bus-oriented systems requiring signal inversion and isolation
• Clock drivers and buffering applications
• Memory address decoding and data bus driving
• General-purpose digital logic interfacing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code suffix matches the required package variant. Confirm that the intended application environment falls within the specified operating temperature limits. Ensure design safeguards account for absolute maximum ratings to prevent permanent damage. Cross-reference the latest product data sheet revision for any updates to electrical characteristics or pin configurations before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a hex inverting buffer with three-state control is required. The HC series offers compatibility with standard CMOS logic levels across a wide voltage range. Consider the TSSOP16 package for space-constrained surface-mount designs. Verify that the load capacitance and transition rates remain within dynamic characteristic limits for the target operating frequency.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 74HC/HCT family of hex buffers and line drivers. It is functionally similar to the non-inverting 74HC365 but provides inverted outputs. The PW suffix indicates the TSSOP16 plastic thin shrink small outline package. It is distinct from automotive-qualified variants which carry specific Q100 designations.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes include the 74HCT366PW,118 for TTL-compatible input levels. Other compatible parts in the same family are the 74HC365 and 74HCT365, though these provide non-inverting outputs.
