MC74HC368ADR2G

Overview

The MC74HC368ADR2G is a hex buffer and line driver manufactured by onsemi, belonging to the 74HC logic series. It features two independent elements with outputs configured as tri-state. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2V to 6V and supports an operating temperature range from -55°C to +125°C. It provides high noise immunity typical of CMOS technology and is housed in a 16-SOIC surface-mount package.

Feature Summary

• Hex buffer configuration with tri-state output capability for bus-oriented applications
• Wide operating voltage range supporting low-power CMOS systems
• High noise immunity suitable for industrial environments
• Extended temperature rating for harsh operational conditions

Applications

• Bus-oriented memory and address drivers
• Clock buffering and distribution circuits
• Voltage level translation between different logic families
• I/O port expansion in embedded systems

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for End-of-Life notices, as availability may be limited. Ensure packaging specifications match design requirements for surface-mount assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when hex buffering with tri-state control is required. Consider the 2V-6V supply range compatibility with target system voltages. Evaluate thermal management needs given the extended temperature range. Verify pinout compatibility if replacing existing designs.

Part Context

This part belongs to onsemi's 74HC family of high-speed CMOS logic devices. The 74HC368A variant specifically provides hex buffers with tri-state outputs. It is designed for general-purpose digital logic applications requiring signal conditioning and bus driving capabilities in compact surface-mount packages.

Replacement Considerations

Check for cross-reference parts like 74HC368D from NXP Semiconductors. Verify pin compatibility and electrical characteristics before substitution. Ensure replacement parts meet the same voltage and temperature specifications.
