MC74HC368ADTR2G

Overview

The MC74HC368ADTR2G is a hex buffer and line driver manufactured by onsemi, belonging to the 74HC logic family. It features two independent elements with three-state outputs, housed in a 16-SOIC surface-mount package. 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 and low power consumption typical of CMOS technology, with output drive capabilities of 7.8mA for both high and low states.

Feature Summary

• Hex buffer configuration with three-state output control
• Wide operating voltage range supporting 2V to 6V systems
• Extended industrial temperature rating for harsh environments
• High noise immunity compatible with standard CMOS logic levels

Applications

• Memory address decoding circuits
• Clock distribution networks
• Bus-oriented transmissions
• Driving capacitive loads in digital systems

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for specific packaging variations such as tape and reel specifications. Ensure the part number suffix matches the required quantity per reel. Review recent product change notices for any manufacturing site or material updates that may affect compatibility.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a hex buffer with three-state capability is required for bus applications. Consider the 74HC series for general-purpose CMOS logic interfacing. Evaluate the 16-SOIC package constraints against PCB layout requirements. Compare performance metrics against alternative logic families if lower propagation delay or different voltage thresholds are necessary for the specific design.

Part Context

This component is part of the broader 74HC368A family of hex buffers and line drivers. It shares functional similarities with other devices in the 74HC series but offers specific three-state output control. The ADTR2G suffix indicates the specific tape and reel packaging format used for automated assembly processes in high-volume manufacturing environments.
