74HCT368DB,112

Overview

The Nexperia 74HCT368DB,112 is a hex inverting buffer and line driver featuring three-state outputs controlled by active-low output enable inputs (nOE). It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and accepts TTL-level input signals. The device utilizes an SO16 plastic small outline package (SOT109-1) with a body width of 3.9 mm. It supports ambient temperatures from -40 °C to +125 °C and includes input clamp diodes for interfacing with voltages exceeding VCC.

Feature Summary

• Provides six independent inverting buffers with high-noise immunity and low power dissipation.
• Features three-state outputs that assume a high-impedance OFF-state when the nOE input is HIGH.
• Includes input clamp diodes enabling current limiting resistors for interfacing with voltages above VCC.

Applications

• Bus-oriented communications systems
• Clock distribution circuits
• Memory module address/data buffering

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix '112' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm the exact packaging configuration and reel specifications. Confirm current production status and availability through authorized Nexperia distributors, as product lifecycles may change without prior notice.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a hex inverting buffer with three-state control is required for 5 V logic interfaces. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified -40 °C to +125 °C temperature range. Verify that the system design accommodates the SO16 package dimensions and pinout configuration.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 74HCT series, which bridges CMOS technology with TTL logic levels. It is designed for general-purpose digital applications requiring signal inversion and bus driving capabilities. The device complies with JEDEC standards JESD8C and JESD7A for electrical characteristics and reliability.

Replacement Considerations

The 74HC368DB,112 serves as a non-inverting counterpart within the same family but lacks the inverting function. Direct functional replacement requires verifying compatibility with existing circuit logic requirements and ensuring identical package and pinout specifications.
