74LCX760SJX

Overview

The Fairchild Semiconductor 74LCX760SJX is a high-speed, low-power CMOS buffer operating within a 2V to 3.6V supply range. It features two non-inverting buffers with four bits per element and open-drain outputs capable of 24mA drive current. Housed in a 20-SOP package, it supports -40°C to +85°C operation and ensures signal integrity for low-voltage digital systems.

Feature Summary

• Provides non-inverting buffering functionality with open-drain output configuration
• Supports interface between 5V systems and 3V systems via input voltage tolerance
• Delivers high noise immunity and low power consumption typical of LCX technology

Applications

• Low-voltage logic level translation
• Signal buffering in portable electronic devices
• Interface circuits connecting 5V and 3V domains

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix SJX against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and thermal requirements before integration into designs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when open-drain outputs are required for wired-OR configurations or level shifting. The 20-SOP package suits applications needing compact surface-mount solutions with moderate pin counts for dual-channel buffering.

Part Context

Part of the 74LCX family, designed for low-voltage applications. It complements other LCX buffers like the 74LCX07 by offering multi-bit channel capabilities in a single package, suitable for complex bus structures.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct equivalents such as the 74LCX760MSA from Fairchild (now onsemi). Verify package dimensions and electrical specs match before substitution.
