74LCX760MSA

Overview

The 74LCX760MSA is a low-voltage CMOS buffer manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor, now under onsemi. It features two non-inverting elements with four bits per element, providing eight open-drain outputs. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2V to 3.6V and supports an output current of 24mA. It is housed in a 20-SSOP package with a width of 5.30mm. The component functions across an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides non-inverting buffering for digital signals using open-drain output configuration
• Integrates two independent logic elements, each handling four-bit data paths
• Supports low-voltage operation suitable for interfacing between different logic families

Applications

• Signal buffering in low-voltage digital systems
• Level shifting interfaces between 2V and 3.6V logic domains
• Open-drain bus driving applications requiring pull-up resistors

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer status as this part may be obsolete or discontinued. Confirm if the current supplier is onsemi following the acquisition of Fairchild Semiconductor. Check for RoHS compliance documentation and ensure the 20-SSOP package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements before ordering.

Selection Notes

Select this component when non-inverting buffering with open-drain outputs is required for low-voltage applications. Ensure the design accommodates the necessary external pull-up resistors due to the open-drain architecture. Verify that the 2V to 3.6V supply range aligns with the system power rails and that the 24mA drive capability meets load requirements.

Part Context

This device belongs to the 74LCX series of low-voltage CMOS logic components. The LCX family is designed for high-speed operation with low power consumption, bridging the gap between older LVC and newer VHC technologies. The 74LCX760 specifically addresses needs for multi-bit buffering in compact surface-mount packages.

Replacement Considerations

Check for equivalents from onsemi, such as the 74LCX760MTCX variant which shares similar electrical characteristics but differs in packaging format.
