Procurement Notes

This part number is obsolete and no longer manufactured by NXP USA Inc. Verification of current availability requires checking authorized distributors for remaining stock or approved substitute components. Ensure that any replacement parts maintain pin compatibility and electrical specifications to guarantee system integrity during procurement processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring multiple buffered or inverted signals with three-state control. Verify that the application voltage falls within the specified 2.0V to 6.0V range. Consider the 16-DIP package constraints for PCB layout. Due to obsolescence, evaluate alternative sources or direct substitutes like SN74HC368N for new production runs.

Part Context

The 74HC368N,652 is part of the widely used 74HC family of high-speed CMOS logic devices. These components are standardized across the industry for digital logic operations. The specific model integrates six channels in a single package, offering a compact solution for complex logic routing compared to discrete single-gate implementations.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitute: SN74HC368N. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics before integration.
