74HCT368DB,112

Overview

The 74HCT368DB,112 is a hex inverting buffer and line driver featuring three-state outputs. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V. The device accepts TTL-level inputs and provides high noise immunity with low power dissipation. Outputs are controlled by active-low enable inputs (nOE), entering a high-impedance state when nOE is HIGH. Input clamp diodes allow interfacing with voltages exceeding VCC using current-limiting resistors. The component is specified for ambient temperatures from -40 °C to +125 °C.

Feature Summary

• Hex inverting buffer/line driver with three-state outputs
• TTL-compatible input levels
• Active-low output enable control
• Input clamp diodes for over-voltage interfacing

Applications

• Bus-oriented communications systems
• Clock distribution circuits
• Memory address decoding

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix '112' against the manufacturer's latest documentation to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors or Nexperia sales offices prior to procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring hex inverting buffering with three-state capability. Ensure the system logic family matches the HCT series requirements for TTL input compatibility. Verify that the operating temperature range meets the environmental conditions of the target application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 74HCT logic family, designed for CMOS technology with TTL-compatible inputs. It serves as a standard digital logic component for signal buffering and driving in mixed-voltage environments. The DB suffix indicates the SO16 plastic small outline package variant.

Replacement Considerations

Check for equivalent parts such as the 74HC368 if CMOS input levels are acceptable. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics before substituting with other manufacturers' hex inverting buffers.
